Takes ten or so seconds to start, took longer (~30 perhaps.) with the SecuROM exe.
(Paul.dll or modified paul.dll seems to have made no real difference.)

Game is sitting on my hard-drive, dammit.Work today, birthday party right after (mine, happy BDay to me....) and work tomorrow all day.So I'll only be able to play this on Thursday.
If anyone played it on a similar configuration, would you say I can run this at 30+ FPS on Medium, 1920 X 1080? My system:
AMD Athlon II Quad Core @ 3.3GHZ
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Saphire HD 5670 1GB DDR5 Video Card
Win 7 64 bit.
Would it run good with UberSampling off? Is it time for a new Video card?

After work I visited another shop, bought the game and headed back to home. And guess what happened, a fuckin CRC error. Again to the shop to replace my faulty copy, stood in line for about half an hour just to be told that manager is absent today so he cannot check if there's indeed something wrong so I need to go there again tommorow. FUCK THIS SHIT!!! This is how it is if you want to do something right, I fuckin lost all day and gas money worth another game... I'm not going to buy another game in a looooooong time if ever. |

Those screenshots are gorgeous JB. This game really is something to feast your eyes on.
What does your hardware look like mate? Saw your cfg posted but when I get to the city square in chapter 1 my performance drops to 12-14fps with it :/

That one has no effect as such and should be avoided altogether, it's the

User.ini you want to fine tune.

(Bin\Config user.ini, unaltered, used as a preset for when you set your own options and save it.)
EDIT: My hardware is a 4890 Vapor-X 2GB (Sapphire.) along with a Intel QX6850 (3.2 currently, don't clock well but it's not necessary due to decent normal speed.) and with 4GB DDR3 1600 RAM (1800 technically but with that lowered and timings reduced instead.)
Everything on (With the custom user.ini posted, and quoted a page back or so, earlier, sort of disables Ubersampling instead of just trying to tone it down unfortunately from what I recently discovered.)
Performance during the prologue part was around 35 - 45 which is OK for a RPG plus it looks pretty damn good so I sacrificed a bit of FPS for visual quality.
During chapter 1 however it's ~35 on average or so which is pretty close to the 30 FPS limit I decided to try and maintain if possible.
(The GPU is aged and the CPU is ineffective aside from it's default speed and being a quad core, four years nearly and it's starting to show, RAM is OK but first-generation hi-voltage DDR3 so a bit ineffective.)

If it is ****, then how people who have original GoG game have same exe as skidrow patched game??? |
because the gog and the skidrow is the same and the patch is not air for the gog version
why is the russion only patch 400 mb ? look to the patch notes in the russian patch! i see nothing about missing files, i see nothing about broken files. i see the same patch notes like the european patch notes
cd project had this say before a release. when you actived your legit copy then you must go online and download a file to play a game, and this is the activiated patch what skidrow put in the release.

GoG support says on their forums that their game is already fully patched.
Also, many game files got patched, not just a few protection related binaries. lots of patched files in CookedPC folder, which are pretty much only gameplay related.

regarding Letho at end of chapter 1
 Spoiler: | How the fuck are you supposed to beat him lol? He fucking rapes me in the ass, he blocks everything and that shockwave push he does is super gay, especially since he throws an unblockable firebomb after it. Is it even possible to block all his skills? |

Game is fricking astounding, everything is as good as I ever could hope for.
Expect a really challenging game at high difficulty, I'm currently at a fight where I'm about to just go back to an older savegame and just keep working on subquests due to it's difficulty
| Spoiler: |
I ran into Letho once again, and we're fighting in a locked down area. I'm only at level 10, and the most damage I've managed to do to him is 10%, and that's after 10 minutes of fighting.

| Spoiler: |
Before the fight, drink your three best potions.
During the fight, use roll a lot (spacebar + sidekey) to avoid his aard-attacks, when his "shield" is gone, press "E" to block his sword attacks, and then counter with ONE hard hit only (right mouse) and then back off. This is the only way I've even come close to damaging him.

Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

Are the Alchemy, Swordsmanship and Magic skill trees supposed to be locked? I'm in chapter one now and I still can't access them.

kayran
| Spoiler: | When you get him down so the bridge falls, you are supposed to run to the left and run along the ledge there that leads to his head. The tentacles will try to hit you so you gotta be lucky and also use the spacebar dodge to try and dodge them. Once you reach the top of the pillar there will be a cutscene and you win.
Use the defensive sign so that if you get hit by tentacle you can just keep on running. |
about the letho dude
| Spoiler: | im level 9 and I've given up, loaded an earlier save and gonna go level a bit and try to buy some new sword or something. really feels like im fighting with a toothpick. even tried to set difficulty to easy out of desperation but it didnt really do anything lol.
game is really unforgiving and I never remember witcher 1 combat being this hard lol. |

Well, I guess you'll find that out later on in the game.

So far for me on hard:
| Spoiler: |
Kayran was piss easy, until he starts throwing the rocks, you have to time your run then pretty well. Since I didn't exactly know where to run, I failed there a few times.
Letho was basically a joke - though, I did have some really sweet weapon I crafter with two runes and a wraith trophy, those things combined made short work of Letho in under two minutes. Killed him on second try.
|
All in all, the game is excellent so far, too bad combat is so shallow and clumsy. Dodge, hit-hit, dodge ad nauseam. This game deserver combat at least as good as Risen, but fell very, very short.
