Corylea: TW2 imported my saved game just fine. If you don't have a saved game and want one, I've uploaded mine here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vel4avt5x1nk12e

In that save, Geralt sided with the Scoia'tael, gave Alvin to Triss, and starts TW2 with Aerondight, Gwalhir, and Raven's armor.
I dl'd your save, and out of all 500 of my Witcher saves, yours is the ONLY one Witcher 2 will recognize! So it's definitely not a "folder thing"... it's a problem with my saves.

Not only that... YOUR save is not recognized by my Witcher 1 installation! I really hope CDP gets this figured out before I start playing the game... but in the meantime, thanks for the save!

Yakkuz: This is how I resolved my issues (Savegame not detected).

The problem seems related to the quest " The Ashes of Vizima" that stuck in a previous state also if it's completed, making the savegame not detected, i presume cause the Witcher 2 check if that quest is completed to determine if it's importable or not.

So, download The Witcher Editor, backup the save you want import, open it in TWEditor and check in the "Quest" label, if you have saved for example in the Ice Plains or after killing the Grand Master the quest "The Ashes of VIzima" should be completed ('cause you complete it entering in the cloister), if it's in the "started" quest, your savegame would not be detected.

At this point you could try two different things:

a) Load a previous savegame, for example at the beginning of the Epilogue or just before the Zeugl fight and complete the game again, hoping that quest don't bugs itself again.

b) You have to make some tricky work with the Witcher Editor

-b1) Download a savegame that's being detected.
-b2) Open it in TWEditor, "unpack" it in a directory
-b3) Make a backup of YOUR savegame (if you have not done yet)
-b4) Open it in TWEditor and "unpack" it in a directory (DON'T Close TWEditor YET!)
-b5) Copy the file "q6001_wyzim.qst" from the the unpacked WORKING savegame
-b6) Paste and overwrite the one in YOUR savegame UNPACKED directory ( b4)
-b7) "Repack" your savegame (using TWEditor) and Save.
-b8) Load YOUR savegame in The Witcher, check if it's working then SAVE IT
-b9) Exit the game, Launch TW2 and your savegame should be detected.

Hope it helps!
YOWZA! Major props to Yakkuz for posting the solution to this one! I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly! Maybe CDP will issue a patch that will make this a lot easier... or perhaps patch TW2 to just overlook the state of the Ashes quest. Thanks!

I sent an email to CDProjekt with a link to this forum noting Yakkuz's solution that worked for us, as the support team's suggestions only pointed out the file folder location and saving the game in the correct locations -- which I mentioned as steps I'd already taken in my first email.

Hopefully they can figure out a fix for others who have this problem on their end, without having to use the third party tool.

I'd hate for others to have this same problem and not get to experience this wonderful game from CDProjekt.

Namur could you do a tutorial on the TWE editor please? I have unpacked a save but im not sure how i can alter choices etc etc.

You seem to be able to create saves games with alternate choices

TIA

I accidentally deleted my Witcher 1 savegames a while back. I'm posting the choices I made in case someone has a savegame at the end with the same choices being made:

Chapter I

The Escort - Escorted Vesna
Racist encounter - Helped Zoltan
Nonhumans - Did not kill Scoia'tael
Destiny - Didn't fight Leo
Lesser Evil - Saved Abigail

Chapter II

Consequences: - Teamed up with Siegfried
Coleman - Coleman got shot with an arrow
Path - Stayed Neutral

Chapter III

Guardian - Triss
Thaler - Let Thaler live
Werewolf - Killed the werewolf
Bank Robbery - Sided with the Scoia'tael

Chapter IV

Conflict - Compromise
Forgiveness - Killed Berengar
Path (major choice) - Stayed Neutral

Chapter V

Striga - Saved Princess Adda

Epilogue

King of the Wild Hunt - Refused to give soul

I also had the neutral version of the Raven's armor and the silver sword from the Lady of the Water at the end.

Huge thanks in advance for anyone able to provide this savegame!

I've had a total of three playthroughs of the Witcher in which i explored pretty much every quest and dialogue option and my intention was to import all of them.

Unfortunately I didn't back up my saves. And now, with The Witcher 2 installed I'm desperate for a proper save to import before I start any playthrough.

1)One playthrough had me
-Saving Abigail
-Uncovering Azar Javed's disguise
-Saving Thaler
-Siding with the Elves in Bank Robbery
-Killing the Champion Cow at the altar to summon Dagon
-Siding with the Elves in Act IV/V
-Saved Adda
-Preventing King of the Wild Hunt from taking Grandmaster's soul

2)The second playthrough was the same as above, except I stayed neutral at the end.

3)In the third playthrough I played Geralt as an elf-hating, arrogant jerk who often messed up in his decisions, so

-I let Abigail die
-Let Geralt be fooled by Azar Javed's disguise
- Let Thaler die
-Sided with the Order all the way to the end
-Killed the vodyanoi priest at the altar to summon Dagon
-Killed Adda
-Let the King of the Wild Hunt take the Grandmaster's soul

I've managed to acquire a savegame for the second playthrough(neutral, saving Adda, fighting King of Wild Hunt) but I desperately need saves for the first(Scoiatel path, saving Adda, fighting King of Wild Hunt) and third(Order path, killing Adda, giving up Grandmaster's soul) playthroughs.

Could someone please helo out, or barring that, point me to a link where I can obtain these saves? Thank you.

The only decisions that carry over to TW2 are if you've taken the neutral, scoia'tael or order path and if you've killed Adda or saved her. None of your other decisions have any weight or mention in the second game.

Here's a link where you can get savegames of all flavors: http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showthread.php?t=989534

It's not English, but they work anyway and the only words you need to know are Neutral=neutral, Anderlinge=Scoia'tael, Orden=Order, Adda lebt=Adda alive, Adda tot=Adda dead.

Thanks. But doesn't saving/killing Thaler also influence the game? And Alvin/Grandmaster's fate?

Unfortunately not. Thaler is alive in TW2, no matter what you did in TW1, and no matter what you do at the end of the game, TW2 considers Geralt not having given up Jacques' to the Hunt. Geralt says during a conversation that he 'killed' the King of the Wild Hunt, and since then, his memory has started coming back gradually.

Thanks again. I wonder if it's a bug. The Witcher 2 may be a great game, but CDP has its share of unfulfilled/exaggerated promises made back when they were promoting it. Like promising 18 endings(whereas in practice there seem to be only 3 or so ending cutscenes), making a big deal of the savegame import feature(though it only chances some dialogue; still enough for me to do it though) etc.

I doubt it. It seems more like they assumed certain outcomes to reduce the number of variables they would have to plan and program for. Or maybe they just weren't able to access that information in an imported save, who knows?

As for marketing... it's soulless. Never buy into the hype, because if you do there will be nothing but disappointment waiting for you. Example: If a game randomly killed your character with no catalyst for that to happen, they would say there's a "dynamic game-over system integrated directly into gameplay!" Hope for the best, assume the worst :)

This one wasn't exactly false, only a bit misleading, which made a lot of people assume that there would be 16 distinctly different ending cutscenes, while in fact, they meant 16 different ending states. (If they had added an epilogue kind of recounting of these choices, I doubt as many people would feel mislead to the same degree. Instead these recounting of events and choices, occur at various points throughout the story itself.) This in regard to who is alive and who is dead, at the end of the game when the credits roll, and if they don't make something out of this in the continuation of the story, I will be thoroughly disappointed and actually feel cheated. Each of the possible deaths of very influential and important characters, should in theory bring with it long-reaching consequences for the state of the Northern Kingdoms, in the coming years. If in TW3 (or a TW2 expansion), they do what they did with TW1->TW2, and simply retcon out 90% of these choices, CDPR will for the first time have disappointed me in a significant way. :(

Pardon me, but what do 'Fluch beseitigt und sie verschont.' and 'gehandelt' mean?

thelazyreader: Pardon me, but that link you gave me says 'Access Denied!' Do you know any other place for me to download saves?
I'm sorry the link doesn't work from your location.
Why don't you just google it yourself? "Witcher savegame" should give you enough hits for your region.
