reinstalled and repatched directly to 1.4 many times. still get AppName: witcher.exe AppVer: 1.4.5.1282 ModName: witcher.exeModVer: 1.4.5.1282 Offset: 0042432aand a heap of the empty bif files in the game data directory.
I just used Total Commander to check out the .bif files on my system, and sure enough most of them are empty.As far as installing and applying patch 1.4, as I've previously said, I've done this several times, with no interruptions on my part ,I just step away from the computer and let the patch apply itself.I do have McAfee security center installed on my computer, and Net Nanny to protect my family, but they both have never corrupted the over30 games I have installed on my system.
I had problems with the new 1.4 EE patch but somehow it resolved it self.I must say that i own the first release of the Witcher and used the 1.4 patch from the witcher homepage.This is what i did:1: Uninstall The Witcher completely (savegames can be saved if they're saved in the my documents).2: Installed The Witcher without any updates.3: Runned the game and altered the resolution and soundconfiguration. (22" widescreen resolution set to 1680 x 1050 and disabled EAX.)4: Closed the game and run the 1.4 patch update. ( Took me about 30 mins but can take longer as stated during updating)5: Installed the English_language pack and started the game again.I do hope that this solves some problems wich can occure with some players.
Again, this is making me suspicious. So many references to the patching process taking, well, taking at least some time. When I reinstalled the game then patch, the patch installed in less than 5 minutes, closer to 2, and his machine isn't quite that beastlygeert said:
We've verified the MD5 sums on the files and they come up trumps and we've re-sourced as well. I'm idly wondering whether the patching process is actually erroring out somewhere on segmentor's machine, but it doesn't fail gracefully so we just think it's finished when the 'Finish' button comes up. In which case, that's going to be a bugger to troubleshoot because... I wonder if the patching process creates a log file? hmmm, that'd be handy, I'll check for that tonight.I'm getting the error where it will happily go through the starting videos, except the cursor is a black square and the button is half on the side. It crashes just before the menu should show up. Comes up with a blank error box that I can't get to, and if I don't hit esc as soon as it comes up, I have to restart windows.The description:Faulting application witcher.exe, version 1.4.5.1282, faulting module witcher.exe, version 1.4.5.1282, fault address 0x003f3df4.My computer:Intel Q9550 @ 3.5ghzAsus Rampage Extreme (x48)Radeon 4870X24gb 1600mghz DDR3Winxp SP3This is a new computer, and whats strage is I didn't have any troubles with my old setup, it ran EE just fine.Old System:AMDX2 6000+Asus Nforce board (can't remember name or exact chipset)2gb 800mghz DDR2Radeon 4870X2Winxp SP3
Hi guys I had the exact same problem as OP (Cryocore) and a few others, see below:Error report:AppName: witcher.exe AppVer: 1.4.5.1282 ModName: witcher.exeModVer: 1.4.5.1282 Offset: 0018273eI noticed someone in this thread said they had tried installing on Vista and then copying the files over, I just tried the same and it worked for me to. So the same original DVD (non EE) the same 2 patches installed fine on Vista but failed on XP SP2 also (SP3). Its worth noting i've spent 2 days on this and had tried everything suggested in the FAQ's and in several threads without luck. So its clearly something to do with patching to XP.I know this won't help many but it might help some. Lets hope they get a fix for this quick. Good luck all.
Booted into a Diagnostic startup using msconfig, made sure everything was turned off (especially McAfee and Net Nanny) using Task Manager.Did a clean install, patched to 1.4 and still the error:AppName: witcher.exe AppVer: 1.4.5.1282 ModName: witcher.exeModVer: 1.4.5.1282 Offset: 0042432aSo, I had nothing interfering with the files while they were being modded. Didn't interrupt the process at all. Still, the .bif files for the most part are all zeroed.

Not getting much help from tech support either...Not "yeah, they're working on it" or anything close to proper communication. Very dissapointing. Spent a week trying to sort out this problem, and the most help I've gotten is from the users themselves, which is great, btw. I'm sure the developers are working hard, no questions there, we all work hard. Just a little better communication is all I ask.
Just finished installing the 1.4 patch....and what do you know, I have the mss32.dll problem too!!! :I can use the fix in the official FAQ, but are the devs actually going to release a FIX for this so I don't have to worry about cut-off dialogue???
I can use the fix in the official FAQ, but are the devs actually going to release a FIX for this so I don't have to worry about cut-off dialogue???I seem to have fixed my problem. I first uninstalled, and then reinstalled the game. I loaded it up to check it worked and just in case, disabled EAX. Then I went for the patch, and I'm pretty sure it took longer than last time, around 30-35mins. But the main thing is I fired up the game and it worked fine.
Good to hear you got it working, Krazy_1Krazy1 said:
There's that duration thing again. With that in mind this afternoon, I uninstalled/reinstalled on segmentor's machine and timed the patch installation - 2 minutes, 14 seconds. I'm pretty sure that's not right :-\Just out of curiosity, I ran ProcMon on his machine, capturing only the game launch info until crash (EE), and I ran through the same process on my machine, capturing only the game launch info (v1.3). We're going through the results now....We're gonna need more coffee *boils kettle*Thanks. The first bit of the patch doesn't take that long, the one where it mentions the files it is installing, then you just get that message about not interrupting the process or you mess everything up and that's the bit that takes forever, then it does the two extra adventures if you want them which also don't take that long.lovelypsycho said:Good to hear you got it working, Krazy_1
From all I can tell from my experiences with the installs I tried today, it's definitely an issue with the patching process itself. I installed it on another machine running Windows XP 32 bit and once it gets past the "patching files, don't interrupt" process, it actually continues the installer and installs the language pack. I hadn't seen that portion on any of my 3000000000 attempts to install. I am going to copy that install to my Vista 64 machine and see if it works.Edit: This did seem to work on my Vista machine. I installed it on the Vista 64 machine and on the XP 32 bit machine. I then patched my copy on XP and copied the entire contents of "The Witcher" directory to my Vista box. The patch process took 60 minutes+ and like I stated above it then did a Language Pack Installer. I luckily had my work laptop with me so that I could do this, hopefully they'll patch their patcher soon. In the meantime I'm keeping that version rar'd up somewhere in case I lose my C: (which I tend to do when I get bored )
)Hi, with normal version up to 1.3 i have no problems (finished the game already) but after the 1.4 upgrade it wont start anymore.I tried already deleting and reinstalling all from beginning. Language version is Italian.Windows XP SP3, Q6600, 8800GT SLII tried also on another pc (winXPsp2 , P4 + nvidia 6600) and it worked flawlessy with same patch files.This is the errlog, the crash appens immediatly when i click "Launch the Game" (and same of course if i click directly on witcher.exe)
