This game is incredible.
10% left on my download. Almost done... Need my fix of Witcher 2 damn it.
Shit, download speed fucking dropped. AGAIN. And it's been mediocre for all the day. What the fuck is up with Steam servers lately?
Still waiting for my copy to arrive tomorrow, can't wait! Also to those who are already playing the game, how's the Insane difficulty mode?

anyone with launching problems? i click to launch the game, the wolf medalion thing appear on my screen and nothing happens -edit- avast, moved the game executable to quarantine, tahts why
God damn. I tried to run the game on the highest settings the first time I launched it. Big mistake. Got about 10 FPS with a GTX 480 and i7 920. Turned off Ubersampling and now it runs pretty well. also this game is fucking gorgeous: [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/MDiNox.png[/img] [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/Tcscll.png[/img]
Alright, after repeated attempts at activating my game, the launcher does absolutely nothing after executing it now.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;29896821]Activation servers are down for maintenance atm.[/QUOTE] well that's great, on fucking release day as well
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;29897054]well that's great, on fucking release day as well[/QUOTE] I gotta admit, their release was a big terrible fail so far. They should've planned ahead.

So I read "this game is fucking gorgeous" *HIGHLY DETAILED ASS* Slight confusion ensued.
[QUOTE=DJF;29893444]My copy finally arrived. Hella nice packaging, but I was surprised by the papercraft, since I saw, and expected, the cubeecraft style they showed off often. Still, it looks nice and keeps me distracted while the game is installing.[/QUOTE] Wish my copy would arrive. Go figure I do release day delivery. Its 8pm and still says the game hasn't even entered my state on the package tracking :silent:
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;29897117]I gotta admit, their release was a big terrible fail so far. They should've planned ahead.[/QUOTE] There've been worse. Much worse. Although they did claim on their site that this DRM (which wasn't their choice) wouldn't interfere at all with the game or it's installation and all you needed was a one time internet connection. Let's hope they will not put up with the bullshit of any form of DRM (except steam or the like)
[QUOTE=exxkai;29896149]this.[/QUOTE] [B]You cannot run fullscreen unless you have a 16x9 monitor.[/B] [b]Select [u]windowed[/u] until it's fixed. [/b] 2. If you have a multi GPU set up, you'll have to force a fake profile or wait for a patch. 3. The nVidia beta 275 drivers bring up to about a 40% improvement in resolutions above 1920 4. The radeon crossfire patch is due in about 4 days.
Played the game for about four hours now, and I JUST got to the first chapter, the prologue alone was that long. I'm in Flotsam now, and it seems like the game is just getting better and better. The game has not been a disappointment so far, although there are some problems with the engine. [QUOTE=27X;29897737][B]You cannot run fullscreen unless you have a 16x9 monitor.[/B] [b]Select [u]windowed[/u] until it's fixed. [/b][/QUOTE] Yeah you can? I don't have a 16:9 monitor and it works fine fullscreen. I get the black bars though.
I'm getting my ass kicked in the temple courtyard. I once managed to kill everyone but the armoured knight and when I killed him he had managed a final blow that had bleed damage and it killed me. :suicide:
This looks interesting. Worth a buy?
can't wait to buy.
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;29897900]This looks interesting. Worth a buy?[/QUOTE] Definitely.
I launch the game, and this smug wolf pops up and mocks me. The game then proceeds to not launch [img]http://gyazo.com/d6f697409f788043bcbf2bd813870a39.png[/img] Does anyone else have this issue?

I heard about the 16:9 thing though. It must only affect 1920x1200 or something
[QUOTE=27X;29898619]16:9 monitor and 16:9 resolution are not the same thing. [/QUOTE] Yeah? You mentioned a 16:9 monitor in your post, so did I. No one talked about the resolution. I don't have a 16:9 monitor, therefor I'm not using a 16:9 resolution. And it STILL works fine fullscreen.
I started out on Normal mode and got my ass kicked on the second fight of the game where you have to take the balista, so I turned it down to Easy. I think now that I've leveled up some I can do it on normal. Some of the abilities you can get from leveling are nice, like being able to block from all directions.
Yeah you can't really engage head on most of the time like you could in Witcher 1, I usually just hit people once or twice, roll away and wait for them to miss their attack, repeat.
Runs kinda like shit for me on my old 8800GT with AMD Phenom II X4 955 and Kingston HyperX 4 gigs @ 1600Mhz. Now I know it's an ancient card, but what puzzles me is that even on EVERYTHING set to LOWEST it's the same FPS.... And I even installed the Beta drivers :smith: Fuck, I am so disappoint.
According to the System Requirements the 8800 is the minimum it supports. :v: [editline]17th May 2011[/editline] Runs really well on my GTX 550
