Patch 1.2 available!

After long and impatient awaiting, the time has come - we encourage you to download the latest version of patch (1.2) for The Witcher. We have made a lot of effort to ensure that patch 1.2 has been tested in the best possible way, and at the same time to present it to you before Christmas, as we have promised. Patch 1.2 fixes, among all, the issues of older versions that were most commented on, such as long loading and saving times, loading/saving mechanism, removes many possible random crashes, as well as several minor bugs. Patch 1.2 works with older versions of the game, starting from 1.0, and is available for download from here. This guy has downloaded the patch already. And you?

WOW It's so great!!! I've been waiting and almost about to loose my patience! Reading this was giving my heart strong jumps. Thought It was a joke, fortunately it is not. Thanks a lot for your hard work and well-done guys!PS: Do I need to uninstall the 1.1a patch before installing this or just go straight to the upgrade?

 

[kaeldorn]

We can't walk in OST view... :'(Thank anyway for the work CDP

No bug fix for when you double click create a potion it uses the materials but fails to increase the quantity in your inventory? This happens to me all the time, especially (perhaps only) when creating White Gull. My best guess is this is related to the secondary properties of the potion not matching up so it's not allowing the stacking of the potions. However it doesn't add a new stack to my inventory either, it just disappears.

Oh no! Still can't walk in OST view ? That's a shame. I was really hoping this would be possible with the new patch.Never mind.Scotty

nope, just run the patch from anywhere on your system; it will figure out where you installed the game and fix 'er right up.
