1.5 contains only 2 hotfixes - for blur, and EAX error.

Killer news can't wait

More goodies? Wow! So, no rest for the wicked then, eh?

 

[Flash]

Again no info about the mods? Kind of discrimination

 

[wolfox]

Wow, FANTASTIC news! One of the best RPGs ever just became better!Thanks CD Projekt!

 

[nikolaszax]

I hope we will see this patch on Steam version of the game too (I don't think so because CD Projekt RED can not live well with Valve's Steam), because game is broken now on Steam if you don't apply retail EAX/Blur hotfix. Game videos are black and you only hear sounds and see subtitles. You must fix this, thanks by the way.

That's a good question.... Will they be translated?And *ehr* my 1.4 Version is still playing without the DVD... so this is not really an innovation with 1.5... Will older mods be playable with the new version (you know, that we had several problems with old mods when the 1.4 version came), will there be the same problems yet with 1.4 Mods in the new 1.5 Version?And, hell, will there be a naked Geralt in this new version? :angel:Edit: And what means "Director's Cut" for Northamericans? :hmmm:

That's one of the main conditions for an adventure to be included in ver 1.5.

 

[st_ghost]

Great news, always good to see more support for projects Can we hope for some bug fixes too though I wonder?

 

[TheSilver]

Intersting news, but I'm also curious about what exactly "Director's Cut for North Americans" means?Sex cards uncensored? Etc?

 

[Corylea.723]

That's one of the main conditions for an adventure to be included in ver 1.5.

There were, uh, other conditions as well, one of which was that any "adult" content be removed. References to rape, homosexuality, domestic violence -- all forbidden. I know of at least two different teams whose modules weren't included because they refused to eliminate adult content.

Now thats interesting, considering the dark and amture world of The Witcher.On the other hand, the 1.5 Patch would be an Official patch with content not directly by CD Project and therfore they would need to distance themselves from it to an extent.Hmm, but very interesting.
