When downloading (using the preloader), it automatically downloads to default C:/Downloads. Should I change this to the game's directory? or is it meant/supposed to stay on the default choice C:/Downloads?
I believe the location specified is simply where the patch files will be stored; they are then completed (with the final 300MB) on launch day, and from there installed unto the actual game. In other words, you can put these files wherever you want them. A kind CDPR employee will have to confirm this, however.Laphin said:
First off, I'm personally no bothered by the huge donwload (I have special unlimited, uncapped off peek privages, and it only took 40min to download on my fiber optic line). And for the record I'm not trying to Troll, but...
...can someone from CDPR post a full list of enhancements please?
I have searched High and Low on this website and I cannot find any where the full list of "Enhanced Edition" improvements, other than this quote posted EVERYWHERE
10gb is a HUGE chunk of bandwidth for most people here in the uk. Even with seemingly "unlimited bandwidth" they will be "capped" under the "fair usage" policy for sure!
People need to know if this 10gb download is worth it, because for the extra 35min of video and only 4 extra hrs of game play, its not looking very appatizing, considering when most other game mods that give you 4 extra hrs are less than 150mb!! AND even with extra speech files, can be less than 1gb.
Again, I'd like to point out Im not trolling, its just that almost everyone I have spoken to here in the UK have said how rediculously large this "enhancement" is, and is it worth going over there 3gb bandwidth allowance?

I speek for the rest of the UK, as not everyone has access to the type of internet deals a "small" number of us have got.

Woo thanks! Much respectdinek83 said:In patch for Steam version Overlay bug is fixedI can fully confirm it
No, you don't. You speek for yourself. There hasn't been a massive influx of Brits complaining since the filesize was announced, so I very much doubt if they really are either as deprived as you're implying, or as uncouth as to complain about a free update.LordLethris said:

Don't move from its place until April 17th
Are you sure it doesn't depend from your internet connection? or just limitation of your country? Have you tried changing your internet browser?

-Changelog 2--> http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28436-news-changelog-pt-2/
Patch contains:
4 more hours of gameplay
new quests, creatures and locations
wild animals
30 min more of cinematics
new intro and outro
anyway, I would give it a try before complaining that it's uselessly huge.

No we can't unfortunatly. The file is too big and no email box host would allow us to upload such a huge file. I even doubt it is possibile to share with a file sharing of any sort like megaupload etc.Felathar said:

Wrong. Most of the people here are from: poland, germany, russia, US, czech republic
You're not forced to download it if you think it's useless

Yes... well ok thanks. Apparently Lord_Lethris missed them.bcheero said:
Ah damn, I finish downloading it, only to find out that it doesn't work for Steam. Oh well, will use it for the Gog copy I guess.
I directed it to my GOG downloads folder (separate from the installation folder) so when I do a system backup it'll all be together. Doesn't matter where you direct it (could be your desktop if you want), it just needs to be somewhere that you can keep it for a week until the last 300mb is available.Laphin said:
That is the same way I understood it. You should download all the pieces of the patch (Pre_Downloader.exe, all the .bin pieces, and the completer on the 17th) to exactly one folder, which can be anywhere. I have mine on a portable drive, where I also keep my GOG installers.Kindo said:
The predownloader does (I checked this) write the patch folder location into the Registry. The completer will be downloaded to the same folder. Then, if I understood it correctly, the patch will be automagically installed from that folder.
If you put the downloader, the patch files, and the completer in different locations, the magic install will probably get very confused, and you'll probably have to go through a manual install procedure.
