A game this good and no advertising WTF

Often the way of it. ;)

Crap games need hype, or they don't sell. Good games from unheard of or niche developers get pushed aside in favour of the latest AlienShooter3000million(withfull3Dupthearse). ;)

The 1.2 patch is amazing. Makes me wonder if they could do something similar for Mass Effect...but that's stream loading as opposed actually stopping for a load screen huh? D:

What gets uncensored in the UK version?


Wow, I am playing The Witcher for a while now, and started playing it on patch 1.2. You are saying that the loadings are better now? Holy crap, how long were they before?? I was actually saying to myself that the loadings were absolutly dreadful, I'm wondering how there were before...

There is just loading everywhere, when you go in a building, out a building, to another part of a city, in a cave, out a cave, when you save, when you get to a important part of the story, etc etc etc...

And I have a decent rig too (Intel Quad Core QX6700, 2 GB RAM, 8800 GTX...)

You don't wanna know. Really.
As far as frequency of loading, I think it's alright, especially considering the fact that they fixed it now. Maybe I'm just more tolerant. :

Their save games could use some compression. I checked the save games folder (your my documents folder and then The Witcher folder) and there was 16GB of saves in there! I think I'm going to turn on NTFS compression for that folder for sure.

Wow. That's pretty nuts.

I checked an individual save, though, and it was just over 8MB...?

Mine are 20MB apiece, zipping it takes it down to 7MB... just under 2/3rds smaller. I also save all the time to try out the different paths you can try, and before playing poker. So that makes a lot of extra saves :)
