I already have all the adventures except 'Deceits' and 'Wraiths of Quiet Hamlet'. Will any problems occur due to overwriting of these files? And is the difficulty mod the Flash mod or FCR mod?
 
Sounds great -- nice job on getting rid of the DRM. I think I'll pick this game up on the 8th just for that. :) I've heard it's great; can't wait to play it.
 
you guys are unreal. constantly giving more than any developer i have ever seen. giving tools to people who may want to learn how to develop games but can't afford the price tag of 3ds max also to test out this field to see if its something you really might consider doing. i bought the original game and the e.e. even though it was free and i will buy the directors cut even though its free because you have given so much way more than can be expected i just hope that in the new store version you might throw in some merchandise like the medallion or the dice game

It's Flash mod. FCR didn't make it to because it was finished late and there wasn't enough time for testing. Keep in mind that you can finish most community adventures in 1 hour but to finish the game with a mod you need full 40-90hour playthrough. Anyway, FCR will be available to download same day as patch 1.5.

This is Great! I finally finished downloading 1.3 & 1.4 Patch and only now... does it come.I feel so Angry, it's hard to rejoice! Anyways... I feel this is an improvement, the more the merrier I guess.Then again, does anything get released for The Witcher (Orig) that is better than the Extended Edition?I swear... of the 4 times I competed the game on Orig & 2 times on EE, Original version's performance isabout 50% better than extended one fully updated. Maybe it's my computer or me... I'll see with 1.5 upgrade.(I really like this as adventures are included unlike other game enhancements)Thumbs Up for upgrades for this, do I need to say it:, Awesome game. ;D

I said this dozen times. Valve is not responsible for non Valve games' updates on Steam, developers must give Valve patch files to release on Steam... So it is up to CD Projekt RED and I hope they will do it quickly this time. :)
