Great news! The first patch for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is available right now in the "additional content" area of your download in "My Account" This patch fixes a number of issues. From the patch notes:

1. Fixed the free Troll Trouble DLC download. It is now included in the patch so there's no need to download and install it separately.

2. Fixed an issue that prevented some users from downloading other free DLCs (the ones given out with some pre-orders, special promotions, etc). The launcher now properly refreshes the list of available DLCs and allows for installation.

3. Performance improvements: approximately 5% to 30% better framerate and faster game loading for many users, depending on their individual systems and game versions. Owners of retail versions can expect the biggest improvements.

4. Fixed random crashes occurring on some systems, especially after saving and loading saves.

5. Key mapping – allows the arrow keys to be used for movement.

6. Added the option to invert the mouse.

7. nVidia surround vision now works properly.

8. More accurate assessment provided by the "auto-detect settings" option will help improve game performance.

9. Removed a bug that prevented completion of the “Blood Curse” quest.

10. GOG.com credits now work properly.

The last bugfix, of course, was the most important one, since you can now see who worked so hard at GOG.com to bring you the best digital version of the game anywhere on the 'Net!

As always, you can head over the The Witcher's website or let us know in our forums if you're experiencing problems.

Note: This patch only works on the gog.com version of the game.

drdigger: When I want to install the patch on my GOG copy of the Witcher I get an critical error:
Installed game version is invalid or incomplete
OS: Winwows 7 x64

Are there any tips?
This is due to having DLC or mods in your CookedPC folder. Move them, install patch, move them back.

Thanks GOG, but....

Since i patched the game, i've got black line on top and bottom on my screen in 1680*1050 resolution (in 1.0 version, this problem was for those who used 16/9 ratio) and some graphics bugs appears.

This things does not happen in 1.0 version.

Need waiting for 1.2 now ?

Great game by the way ;-)

Any plans to fix the issues with running fullscreen at high resolutions? My monitor runs at 2560x1440 native, but I can't use fullscreen at anything higher than 1920x1080. The game splash screen shows and then disappears and goes back to the launcher.

I have the latest ATi drivers and other games can run at the full resolution :)

alexkbaker: I guess this won't be a popular sentiment here, but what was the point of buying the game on GOG and forfeiting all the neat physical extras from the retail version of the game if they're just going to remove the GOG version's only real advantage a week after it comes out? I feel like I have been tricked by GOG and CD Projekt.
Eh?

What have they removed? <.<

This is not the first time GOG's staff promises something people don't like and then, all of a sudden, without notice, they break that promise.

Why do you guys do this sort of thing with us!? WHY?!

Ps.: The other time I can remember is that one time you promised you'd remove my Colin McRae Rally 2005 from my games list because of some legal mumbo jumbo... and you didn't.

Reality keeps on making you all liars! Right, TheEnigmaticT?

I got GOG version of Witcher 2, I downloaded patch 1.1 from GOG, but every time I try to run Patcher_GOG.exe I got message: "Cannot open launcher process." I am running the patch after entering Administrator account credentials into the User Account Control prompt.

I have Win 7 SP1 64 bit.

GOG's version is no longer the only DRM free version. Which is a good thing.

Thanks GOG for working hard to make the experience as great as possible. I hope to see other ventures like this one forthcoming, like CDPR's unamed new project to be announced at E3.

GOG, NOBODY does it better!

well, clearly GOG's patch doesn't strip DRM, as we already have it DRM free, but other news sites and such have reported it's now DRM free after the patch everywhere. (i'm assuming with the obvious exception of the Steam version)

go to thewitcher.com and read the community statement, all versions are now DRM free as of 1.1

This is a good thing, but some apparently do not like that :). If you read CDPR dev director's statement it says they put it in their to prevent piracy before the launch, which to me is BS. If he is a dev director worth his salt (looking at the quality of the game, I would say he is) he would know that the amount of actual piracy DRM prevents is negligible as REAL pirates get around it before the game gets released as usual. But that is a whole other discussion.

Given that they were willing to release it DRM free day one on GOG, I'll bet that the DRM was there at the insistence of Atari/Namco Bandai. :P

After all, no DRM is going to limit day one piracy if you're also releasing it DRM free day one.

Where do I even see my version number?

patcher.exe says I'm up to date but I didn't update after installing the game a week ago.

Overon: I got message: "Cannot open launcher process."
That's because "Launcher.exe" is still running in the background.

Use Task Manager and kill it, then run the patch.
