Template:Infobox The Witcher (series)
Availability
Patches
There are two patches available for download on the official page:
- Patch 1.4 will upgrade the Original Edition of the game to the Enhanced Edition.
- Patch 1.5 will remove the DRM and correct bugs introduced by 1.4. It also contains five community-made adventures.
Issues and Fixes
Walking in OTS view
There is originally no way to walk in the OTS (over the shoulder) camera view. A small mod addressing this is available on the official forums. The archive it comes in contains installation instructions.
Sometimes, if you skip the intro cinematic, the mouse is gone on the main menu. This can be fixed by pressing the key that releases the mouse in OTS view(shift by default)
Save File Location
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\The Witcher\saves
GOG.com backup copy
Everyone who bought a retail version of the game can redeem their serial key here to receive a backup copy on their gog.com account. The copy includes all the enhanced edition content. Witcher Backup copy.
If you have a digital version of the game on Steam or any other digital store, or if you have misplaced your CD-key, you can still get a free copy. You can send a picture of your proof of purchase from Steam, or take a photo of your discs. Just follow the instructions on this site
