I'll give that a shot. Never had to do that before.
Edit: That did nothing. I exited Steam, skipped the warning about running Steam in compatibility mode, and nothing I have no option to view my CD key.
Perhaps from in-game through the overlay?

No option to view my cd key while in-game from the overlay either, wtf.
Edit: Wait, I have to quit Steam, run as admin, relaunch Steam, launch the game, try to register, then the cd key field will auto-populate?
That did the trick.

Thank you but running Steam in compatibility mode as administrator did the trick. I just had to exit Steam, run as admin, re-launch Steam, play the Witcher 2 and from the Witcher 2 launcher run the registry tool. It auto-populated the field and I was able to register my game and get access to the free dlc. Which I cannot download because it looks like their servers are too busy.

Is there a way to set an active quest, so you have a waypoint for the quest you're currently working on, or do you just have to explore a bit? I'm fine exploring, but waypoints are always helpful.

I'm an idiot. Thank you. Double clicking seems to be the go-to action for pretty much everything in this game. I don't know why I didn't try.Exuro said:
Btw, buying books to read up on monsters is fucking awesome.

Did anyone try the PL pack floating around with Steam version?
Oh man, one of the coolest things I've seen so far in a game. I'm not going to spoiler this because it's not giving anything away at all, it's just really cool.
I was walking through the town at night in chapter 1 and there's a dude chilling next to a fire. I walk by, put out his fire for shits and giggles, and walk past - and start hearing blowing sounds. Turn around, and he's blowing on his fire to re-ignite it. I was just like "omfg... I have never seen this in a video game before."
I spent about 6 hours playing tonight and I got through the prologue and I'm maybe half way through chapter 1. There's so much to do and explore that you just get immersed in the world and the characters and forget about trying to progress the story. I'm really loving this game so far.

In Germany it's over 3.5k. The average in Europe is 2.4k.
Yeah, it puts things in perspective. Don't act like it's not a factor.

Still getting the connection error, did a search and found this through the Steam user forum...

I'll try again tomorrow.
Yeah I was up at 4 in the morning waiting for Steam to unlock. Got it started dling and when I woke up at 9:30 I started playing the game. Played the game for 14 hours. So good. I've already noticed some choices that appear to alter the course of the game dramatically so my second playthrough looks to have a lot of new experiences whenever I start it. Only on Chapter 2 so I have a lot more time left in my first playthrough.

Hah, I didn't realize that's where I picked up that ability fromgodhandiscen said:

... Learn to explore, there is one in the prologue that explains it. There is arm wrestling and dice poker npcs a few steps away from the tent you start in (near the black and white tents).
People need to read game manuals and readme files(I'm guilty of this one). I've seen numerous complains/issues that are explained in both. And again, learn to explore the game environment.
Can't believe how beautiful this game is. It's like the "Crysis" of RPG games. Super high resolution textures, high res character models, etc. I'm in a forest area right now and can't help but to take in the game's beauty and it's also taxing the hell out of my GTX 590 but man does it look good doing so.
Only on Normal difficulty but goddamn it's quite difficult. Taking on 5 people at a time is incredibly hard or maybe I'm still finding my feet but it's certainly not as forgiving as some other games. I do enjoy that though, I feel like there is more purpose behind defence and I actually feel vulnerable but strong at the same time. Only like an hour in and getting my ass handed to me but I'm still loving it <3

Ok...but dont laugh, but I have no idea what this is. At certain parts of the game, in the upper center of the screen an upside down triangle shows up with a timer counting down. Now I know there is a timer when you take potions, but not sure what this is? I know it is very noobish question. It first appeared in the prologu when you needed to launch one of those giant arrows.
Since I died alot,one time the timer hit zero, but nothing happened...so not really sure what this is.
Thanks!

Pretty much. It will increase performance. If you have SLI/CF, delete System32 for an extra boost.Dmax3901 said:

It's a timer for your buffs.Hawk269 said:
Quen lasts 40 seconds if you don't get hit. Your potion effects also last a certain length of time. Places of power buffs also appear.

I have no idea why anyone is complaining about the difficulty of the prologue on Normal. It is so freakin' easy, especially if you consistently dodge.
I destroyed the first 'boss' without even getting down to half health. Everyone is using potions and dodging to keep from getting surrounded, yeah? It really helps.

I'm playing on hard, and have found most of the difficulty in the prologue lying in the fact that i was just getting used to the combat.. I've been finding the game pretty manageable so far, and just difficult enough to not make every fight a click fest.BoobPhysics101 said:
