I checked last night and all I could find was the manual. There have been some saying on Steam forums that the premium content was not delivered by the publisher.Salaadin said:

Right. The Witcher 2 uses (and only uses) Internet Explorer to connect to their servers. If you only have Firefox you're fucked.
Now when initially trying to connect there was an error message saying IE not found then I would have known the problem. As it was I had no idea and spent half the day running around in circles. This also applies if IE has not been updated either.
Just a simple error message would have saved a shit load of time and frustration!

If he's using a 460M then it's a laptop. I have the same in my Alienware M15X which also runs like crud when it really shouldn't. My desktop on the other hand runs great.
Edit: I know on my old M15X (Gen 1) the Nvidia drivers used to downclock the GPU. I had to install special drivers at one point to get the full speed out of the card. I'm not sure if they're still doing that or not.
Anyone know what's up with Axii this time around? Every time I use it on a lower-level mob nothing happens. The entire spell goes off but then the enemy just keeps charging me after momentarily pausing. I've only tried it a few times, though.
Outside of conversations, that is, which is a lot of fun. I usually like going with "intimidate" options in RPGs but can't resist mind tricking fools this time, with Geralt doing his cool little hand motion.
I was hanging out in the Flotsam town when it just started raining, and atmospherically it just looked and sounded amazing. There was an overcast and everything just went dark and gray in that way it often does when it's actually raining, but we don't see much in games. I remember thinking a Silent Hill with that sort of visual fidelity would be crazy to experience.

The target system doesn't require any button, it doesn't toggle in a sticky way. Whatever your pointed at is the current target.
LB LOCKS the target so long as you hold it, meaning all attacks will go to that target if there are a lot of dudes around you/camera will stay on him.

Its sad to hear all the problems. The GOG dowload was awesome 2mb/s. Preloaded it, came home yesterday and restarted my downloader and was playing the game in 30 minutes.

A simple statement from the publisher as to when premium digital download users will be able to get the map, guide; etc. would be nice. I am disappointed I am not getting what I paid for in advance.

Have to hold the sign button down; it takes a bit of time, but you'll see when it works.

Chill out, dude. In several games on Steam I've played, the DLC is not automatically handled, they give you a popup, saying at some point the game is going to ask you for a code, and here it is. The Witcher does not do this and it does NOT add "a key to a box" when I go to register. I'm not an idiot and your solution obviously isn't helping my situation.

Thanks for the info! I tried creating the account on thewitcher.com, but whenever I pressed the Log In or Register buttons, the page just redirects/refreshes to "http://en.thewitcher.com/#" and never gives any options, in IE and Chrome.
Sounds like I'm just the exception if everyone else can get into it fine, but I'm at a loss. I'll try registering again from the launcher or checking the job postings board when I get home.

You will have to press A/X when the enhancement is being highlighted on the left side of the screen. Press left a few times so that you don't highlight the equip screen on the right.
That said, the menu management is certainly one area where the gamepad input method falls short. I have my mouse near for that very purpose.

Not showing up for you in the DLC section? I downloaded them about an hour ago.

I absolutely love the weather effects so far (I'm still in Flotsam), but damn if it doesn't break the immersion when the game forgets that it is supposed to be raining after you enter another area. It's kind of ridiculous sometimes. Pouring down rain one moment, then you open the door leading outside of town and are immediately greeted with a clear sunny day.
I hope it's just a big that they can fix at some point.

Just a heads up, there is an important security fix for:
Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (KB2467173)
Update type: Important
A security issue has been identified leading to MFC application vulnerability in DLL planting due to MFC not specifying the full path to system/localization DLLs. You can protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
That is the version TW2 installed, run windows update naow

According to Rock, Paper, Shotgun at least, they didn't send out early review code to a lot of sites. In fact, there was apparently a significant day 1 patch that fixed a lot of stuff, so maybe they didn't want reviewers to play the game until then? I don't know.

Sounds like it'd be something fairly simple. Oblivion mods were able to fix weather being changed by entering/leaving buildings, all they should really have to do is store the variable for weather and put a check in that doesn't allow weather to change until X amount of time has past.

No, just that version of the C++ redistributable is used by the Witcher 2 and it installs if you don't have it, and it needs a patch.
Check your installed programs, there is probably one for like 2005 and up
Wow the crucial decisions are pretty well done.
Has anybody failed the scent of incense after completing it?
Also the jump between easy and normal is RIDICULOUS. I was getting my ass handed to me and restarted like 10 times against
and decided to switch to easy and all I had to do was button-mash.
Timed decision wether siding with Iorveth or helping Roche, wth am I suppose to do? Seems like my friend betrayed me we're getting attacked and this "ally" of mine asks for a sword.

I refused to give the guy the ingredients, got ambushed by guys then the quest was "complete" but it failed after the fight with Letho

Weird, I seem to be getting decent performance in the game with my little GTX 260 and my Phenom quad core. Is there a part after the opening camp where the framerate dies down more? I only got to play for like 30 minutes yesterday.

Am I the only one that is somewhat amused that the most impressive PC exclusive in ages is basically a console game with insane graphics?
