Qestions on 1.2 +

[Mckrty]

Okay, got the 1.2 patcher and ran it. So far I see no difference. One thing in particular is something mentioned in the 1.2 read me:

 

" An option has been added to the game menu allowing game saves to be deleted. To delete a game save, highlight the relevant item and press the ‘Delete’ key."

 

Either 1 this did not work for me. 2 It actually wasn't included/implemented. 3 My game was not patched correctly (although the patcher reported a successful update.) 4 I need to start a new game to get the improvements this patch provides???

 

Another thing I noticed is there seems to be no way to determine what version of the game you are running, at least not from the game launcher. If anyone knows the answer to this little riddle please feel free to share :D

 

I'm trying hard to like this game but like many recent rpg blockbusters it seems to contain far to much stuff I detest (way to much window dressing/ to much video clip cut sequences vs free movement/choice, freaky inventory occurrences.) I have noticed in some of the conversations with npc's where

you are given a choice of dialog responses and if you don't respond in what ever the game considers a timely fashion then a choice is made for you. Hows that for killing suspension of disbelief? :no:

First off as far as for deleting a paticular saved game it does in fact work like the said. Move your mouse cursor to the gtame for which you want to delete Than just hit the "delete" key it will ask you to confirm this, Select enter and it's gone.<G>

 

 

I would have to disagree with you in regards to their being to much stuff and window dressing as you would want to call it. After all there are lots of free movement through out the game for which you can do. I've hardly had any video clips cept when it comes to chatting with someone and that isn't all that much.

 

As for the conversation choices and the time thats irrelevant to me as I usually don't pay attention to the timer as I've already made my decision on what to reply with. After all you don't need to take forever to reply to something. And unless you are a very slow reader it should take you that long with the short lines for which you've got to read.

 

As for the version number your right there isn't currently a way for which you can tell what version for which the game is patched to and I wish that they would add this here. Others of us were talking about this here earlier on the TW2 site when we were talking about the patches.

to find out your game version navigate to your witcher 2 install directory and open it and then open the bin folder , then locate the witcher 2 exe and hover your mouse over it and in the dialog box that appears it will show your version

1.1 will read version 1.1.6157.43917

1.2 will read version 1.2.6276.44681

Any time a patch comes out i verify the launcher and game exe`s before and after patch updates . The first thing i did after installing the game was to check out everything i could...registry settings , game settings , and that way i can pretty much figure out what goes where .

I checked my Witcher2.exe and it says File Version 1.0.6041.43456, When I run 1.1 Atari Patch I get "Updated", but when I run 1.2 Patch it says "Invalid or incomplete game install".

 

 

ANy idea what is up with this. (First sign something was wrong was the Troll not uner the bridge.

 

Thanks

Same message error i got when i tried to update the patch manually with 2 different versions of the 1.2 patch . After uninstalling and reinstalling the game and patches via game launcher everything is normal again .

I, too, had to uninstall and reinstall. When you click on the Witcher icon (the launcher) the patches update. I know, I know, it takes forever to reinstall this game. I had to do it twice today :facepalm:

So far I've not had any problems of course I've not gotten to the bridge where the troll is. Got allot going on in my personal life so haven't really been able to play the game much. Working nights don't help much either.<LOL>
