I was beginning to wonder how I got great fps with my HD5850 while people were bitching. I almost began to think my PC was awesome Sad

I also have skidrow. With the unprotected files startup is much faster, maybe loading times a bit (was fast anyway with ssd). Did nothing at all to the framerate. Framerate wit a Geforce 560 ti and Phneom x4@ 3,5 GHZ out of tent at the beginning at about 30-50, everything highest except uber sampling. Like with every game except blizzard games will wait 3 months until its patched, then will play it.

For those wondering why DLC doesn't work, DLC is tied to the CDKey that downloaded it, your CDKey must match the DLC's for it to load it correctly.


That's easy enough, I suppose. Someone just needs to figure out how to edit the dlc and have a patcher pull the cdkey the game is using and put it in the dlc.

So a lot of improvement with the gog exe it seems.
Im going to try the gog exe+Ubersampling later then

Im already using Ultra@60fps with the skidrow crack, maybe I can use Ubersampling too with the GoG exe if the performance is better.

You don't need to unlock a door. Take the path from the male troll.

Probably a dumb question but... do the exe versions match?


Yes.

I found the reason for the performance difference. It's because of CPU usage. On my Phenom II X4 955 Black (4x3.2 GHz) the usage with retail .exe is ~50%, while with GOG .exe it's only ~40%. This is also the reason why I don't get any more FPS with GOG .exe. Simply because GPU is my bottleneck, not CPU. So, those of you who report big FPS gains, you probably have good GPU's, but slower CPUs. If you also have Nvidia cards and haven't upgaded to beta drivers yet, you should do this, becuase they help in CPU bottleneck situations.

DLC seem to rely on the cd-key in order to decrypt and work as intended, without one it'll fail.

Or so I understood it.

Running on a 5870 at 1080p. Settings all maxed, except Ubersampling and that streaming memory size. I am getting 22-30 FPS in the area outside the tent (in the beginning of the prologue), even if I disable SSAO, lower LOD distance or go to high from Ultra on two settings. Don't know what to make of it. Any other option I should be looking at?

Using Steam version here.

What CPU do you have? Try lowering the settings considerably, see if you get a performance gain. If you don't, then it's a CPU bottleneck. If you do gain performance, then it's probably ATi drivers, as my 560 ti overclocked, I would say performs around 15-20% faster than an 5870, and I get a minimum of 55 in that area. Something doesn't add up. I also use steam version.

Seems exactly right, at least in my situation (rig is shitty Dual core , Card is pretty decent)
what i find is the best result from the gog exe is i now get far less texture pop-in and that was driving me bananas

I have the game from GoG and my FPS is kinda shitty and not that stable. But anyhow, nVidia is gonna release the WHQL 275 drivers soon I suppose, which will probably improve the performance a bit more as well. Also, from what I heard in the upcoming patches for Witcher 2 there will be some performance optimizations. So hopefully, the people that have issues can get some more stable FPS.

Took me a few pages to catch up but I too have better frames and load times are much quicker with unprotected exe. Noticeably better FPS in fact.

Umm, so after you put bombs or traps into pocket slots you can't see anymore how many you have them? Pretty annoying having to remove them from quickslots just to see the number.

Also not being able directly to go between inventory, character sheet or potion making screen etc is bad design.

I bet 10$ it won't add 16:10 support. 16:10 support will probably come like in a month or some shit if we're lucky.

Awesome, thanks <3 You never know with games like this whether quests are one-shot opportunities in the same chapter, or whether they'll spread -- and I HATE leaving stuff behind Laughing

Btw, can anyone tell me if that quest with the Newboy(or whatever his name is) and that amulet he found, does it carry on after Prologue? Cause I didn't find a way to finish it in the Prologue. It's like just outside Geralt's tent when you start.
