New Witcher 2 patch.

http://en.thewitcher.com/community/entry/257

 

Now, if you’re thinking to yourself “These changes sound familiar”, you are right! David Block, who originally created the modification described above, now works at CD Projekt RED and is the author of this patch.

 

Nice to see that sort of thing. It does worry me if certain games have a system where it auto-bans you for modding configuration files. I'd not heard of it happening, but I know people were worried with Origin games.

The changes sound cool and would really fix the minor annoyances in the game. Like the north arrow. Who the hell creates a rotating mini map without a north arrow?

 

The book trading checkmarks and unrotation of the alchemy symbols are welcome. My mind keeps telling me that it's not enough to match the colors of the ingredients but also match the symbol. This will save me the annoyance of having to picture what that symbol looks like at a 45 degree angle.

Ok. So with all the patches and enhancements they keep making, they still can't put in an Increase Text Size option. It should be fairly easy to do, and they even did it on the 360 version. :mad:

 

So for those who are playing this game on their TVs and making their eyes hurt with the micro text, I'm going to link this here:

 

http://en.thewitcher...od-comfy-couch/

 

It's really made the text (Inventory text, Journal, HUD text, the subtitles were already readable anyway) very easy to read. You might want to install the comfycouch + the comfyfont (the texts are "wide" with the comfy font, making them easier to read). There is also a "Dynamic HUD" mod which turns off HUD, except the minimap, when geralt's sword is sheathed.

 

I'll try to post screenshots in a bit, or just go to the thread. You guys might already know and use this mod, but with the name "comfy couch", it doesn't really scream "increase text size mod".

 

oh also as mentioned in the thread, you have to rename the file comfysomething.dzip to aa_comfysomething.dzip so it loads first. This is a workaround if you have patch 3.2.

So, I'm finally playing through Witcher 2. Goddamn the combat can be brutal, specifically the boss fights. And I'm still only on Chapter 1...

 

 

The Kayran wasn't that bad once I figured it out but right now I can't seem to beat Letho :/

 

I try to constantly dodge and interrupt his attacks with Aard but I feel like I'm only dealing chip damage on him whereas he seems to murder me in about 3 hits... And I even went back to an earlier save to make sure I was all juiced up on potions before the fight.

Well, I reverted to that earlier save once again (so glad I made a manual save right before that part). I crafted some better armor (from the Kayran's remains) and found a slightly better sword. That gave me enough of an edge to beat him, though it was a close one. I'd overlooked my gear because I imported my original Witcher save and for a while I couldn't find anything better than the bonus gear I got from that.
