Elsarian Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ok, I just got back from gamestop earlier after buying Assassins of Kings only to find out that I have a 10 GB download that I have to get!!!! The only internet access that I have is through tethering with my iPhone and that only allows me 4 Gigs that I can use. After going over that, it's 10 bucks per gig, plus I have college classes to attend online, so there is just no way I can download this! Basically I am wondering if there is a way to just play the game without EE. I have looked at many other forums before posting here, and done extensive google searching, to no avail. So, is there anything that can be done? Surely CD Projekt wouldn't force this download, or would they? I was so pleases with the first Witcher and I don't want to have to go through all of this since I have been waiting to play this for a very long, long time. Any help here would be greatly appreciated! -Elsarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonbird Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 If you have the original 1.0 disks, you'll definitely need to patch it, as they included DRM that is no longer in operation. But no, you don't need to go to EE, and once you've gone through the first patch, you can bypass the launcher so that it stops trying to update. You're best checking at the main witcher site for details of which patch you need. I think it's 1.3.5, but I'm not sure. There were new disks released for the retail version on 2.0 and EE. If you have these, you can avoid the automated patching by running the game from /bin/witcher2.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
