Yes, it's a known problem since 2.0, but there is a workround for if it happens again. The developers know about the issue, and with any luck it will be fixed in the next patch.

In the meantime:

If you're NOT a Steam customer, look for the file /bin/witcher2.exe in your program directory for the game. Make a shortcut to desktop, and use that to run the game. This bypasses the launcher and therefore avoids the problem.

If you're a Steam customer, follow the instructions in this thread:
