Eleyvie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I've reinstalled Witcher 1 after some time, and tried to patch it (I still have patches 1.4 and 1.5 stored on my backup drive). Patch 1.4 reported that it wants me to register the game. Oh sure, I thought, and tried to register the game, using my old login and password for The Witcher. No success. Surprised, I went to the Witcher site. Wow, everything changed and apparently the guys also removed all support for Witcher 1 game. "Great move, guys!", I thought, and started searching for solutions. After 30 minutes or so of active googling I have finally learned that there's a new version of official 1.4 patch which does not require registration. I wonder why I only found this information on some remote forum, perhaps writing that on the official site would be too difficult for the team? Anyway, I downloaded the new 1.4 patch and it's corresponding language pack from the official site. And tried to run it. It failed with "critical failure" error in some "NotCensored" module. So the question is: what am I supposed to do in order to play the game which I paid for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried using a MD5 verifier to make sure you got a full patch . TWEE_Upgrade.exe_new version 393b4783f2d6b906a6eaea3d927b4a92 http://www.nero.com/eng/tools-utilities.html#tab3also make sure you are running the 1.4 patch as administrator .

Eleyvie Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 MD5 is correct. I'm running Windows XP, where my account is administrator, so that shouldn't be a problem as well (at least it wasn't when I was patching Witcher the last time).

There used to be another way and i`m trying to remember how it went...download Universal Extractor and extract the contents of the 1.4 patch to a folder of your choosing and place the language pack in this folder as well and then run the setup exe . Might also try in safe mode . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleyvie Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Voila! This worked. Unpacked the patch file, copied the language pack into the same folder, ran the "setup.exe" executable and everything went smoothly. Thanks for the advice!

Download the relevant language pack" WHAT IS WRONG???? PLS HELP..cause i get no answer from the tech support of this game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
