Yup, I've had this happen more than once and it ploughing sucks.Zeliard said:
On the other hand, I'll make apologies for almost anything concerning this game.
How come it seems the STEAM version of this game is NOT the way to go? I've read nothing but worrysome reports of folks having endless troubles with it.
Thank goodness I went with the GOG version.
Shahadan said:It happens to me when I switch to signs. I guess it's the same problem. hope it'll be corrected in the patch
Also, I can't ever use the last bomb/trap I have in my inventory.
I'm almost certain it has something to do with the radial menu. It's like sometimes if you switch stuff too fast and get in and out of the radial menu quickly, it doesn't properly detect that you've left the menu so shit gets screwy.

No trouble with Steam here. I think most of the troubles were day one things such as not being able to see our CD Key to get the DLC and people not knowing to go to the "Tools" section to get the extra content. Those were both fixed on the first or second day though.

I went with Steam and I haven't had any issues at all.
Perhaps I'm just lucky and the exception rather than the rule.

Anyone try buying this from Atari's website? My coworker gave me a voucher code for this and when I finished downloading this and I tried to install it, it said that I was missing part 20. Parts 1 through 19 downloaded successfully, but I guess I'm missing part 20? I've never ever seen a pc game before where different parts had to be downloaded - very strange. Anyone know what's going on here?

Shahadan said:Unfortunately not for me. I just died three times because of this bug in the La Valette castle with 5 knights chasing after me while I was running around with m sword glued to my hands.
Benny hill music would have done wonders here
Whoah, then that's a new one on me. Every time I've had it happen I just needed to stand in the fire to get control back, that sucks dude. I hope they have a few little fixes in this patch for stuff like that then.

I think we were both talking about the one where you can't do anything. When this bug happens literally the only thing that works is WASD for movement. You completely lose mouse control, even to spin the camera, as well as other keys like Q, E, etc. And it only happens during combat. It's almost without a doubt related to the radial menu.
Finished last night, amazing game.
Although for some reason I lost the ability to use bombs and traps mid chapter 3 and so had to rely on sword and signs till completion.
The bombs I made would simply not be in my inventory after I made them.

Seemed to happen after inventory is taken when arrested and put in dungeon

Wait you aren't my alt account? Now I'm confused too :\Zeliard said:I think you're confused about something, heh.
Shahadan and I are referring to the same bug, and it happens *during* combat.
Anyway, it might be the same bug but it's never hit me so hard I couldn't even break out by taking damage which was what surprised me. So annoying though, I wouldn't even consider starting an insane run if it weren't possible to reload the game anytime you like.
Patch is out: http://en.thewitcher.com/support/ GOG link doesn't work though.

So does the patch ad a box to store items and stuff or is it deliberate to limit your storage space (which I think is a shitty idea).

After the patch? Sorry for double post! =(
ColonialRaptor said:
I elaborated on this in a previous post but the weight limit is important because it balances out the alchemy portion of gameplay. It's cool if they want to add that option for people, but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot stick.
I missed it in my game but I think if you pick up that ability in Prologue that gives you something like 50 extra weight units, it's effective enough.

I had 300 weight limit in my game, not sure if I missed that ability or not.
Wasn't even aware there was an ability for that.

Oh cool, didn't even know I got it.
I didn't realize those abilities actually did anything.
For anyone interested.

The character screen should tell you what they do.
I have several, like Anatomy Lesson with adds 10% damage to humans, Strong Stomach which adds +10% poison resistance, and Haggling which reduces all prices in shops by 20% (I didn't even know I had that one till I looked at it just now).
Can't say I'm sure how I got most of those. You get them doing certain quests or hitting certain dialogue triggers, I think, but it doesn't seem to prompt you when you've gotten a new ability so it's hard to know what led to it.

Ugh so they put the patch up and took it down
Just finished it... Game of the year for me easily. Nothing in the past few years even comes close to the experience in The Witcher 2 (well, Demon's Souls is up there too). After chapter 2 I was dreading the final segment... all the talk about how short a abrupt it was did get to me. I was very surprised at how satisfied I felt once the credits started rolling. Last segment is definitely lean, but it didn't hurt my enjoyment (or maybe I was just prepared for it). The story is nicely concluded and obviously there will be a sequel.
I kind of hope they do something like Dragon Age: Origin. Release new quest as DLC to add a bit more length to the campaign. It's Definitely shorter then the original game. I did everything there was to do and I clocked 40 hours. Next game will probably only take me 30.

WOW. 30 hours and I JUST finished Chapter One.
Varna said:I meant my next playthrough.
Non-human side this time and if it weren't so late I would probably start it right now. This game is an instant classic for me. I really hope it continues to get support. I really enjoy the thought of a good expansion for it.
Ah gotcha.
Yeah, replayability of this game is quite huge. When Chapter 2 seems to be something like 90% different depending on the path you take, it's very worth it to play the game again. I do replay RPGs I've beaten but usually only after some time has passed, but with Witcher 2 I can see myself jumping back in quickly due to that enormous branching path.
Huh? It took me 35 hours to beat the game and I took my time. Missed two side quests at most.

Took me 25 hours or so for Chapter 1. I'm sure it's going to take me 30+ for Chapter 2.
Going to be very interesting to see how long the second play through takes because I'm going to burn through it and skip any conversations I've heard before.
Chapter 2 won't be so quick on the second time through though.
Will be playing this game for a long time to come me thinks, however there are more games coming soon, gawd damn, backlog is going to continue to grow forever, it is not possible to do everything you want to do
