the wonky input in the minigames i can tolerate. Worst of all are the minigames where you have to fucking drag the goddamn switch for the amount of money instead of being able to single click on it. crafting making multiple items is an exercise in patience as well. Its baffling why you can one button pick up loot with a goddamn controller but can't ctrl+click with the mouse. the map is fucking useless, as is the inventory system.
They need to ad support for 5:4 4:3 monitors and start fixing some design atrocities in their gui. Troll DLC for example, isn't doable towards the end of Chapter 1.Īll in all little things, but especially when they result in continual death or quest failure/dead end it gets annoying. Some huge shifts such as town vendors being gone kills your other quests without warning. Or maybe a script trigger is missed I don't know. Doing it in a different order and you burn to death. I had to repeat it a bunch of times because it only it only works in a certain order for no reason whatsoever. Saving 3 elf chicks from dying from a fire. I failed because Dandelion wouldn't get out of the way and because it wouldn't let me walk through the door he used without the door closing and me opening it again. There was a timer thing to go investigate the top of the Inn. Letho fight- MASSIVE difficulty spike in a tiny arena.
an empty inn sounds like it's still full of people having to reload every boss fight to before it starts, and go through dialogues again, just because there's no other way to tell when you use potions until after you're ambushed and reload. Here's hoping that part of the control revamp puts panel in the in-game options that at least shows what keys/mouse buttons/controller buttons are bound to what. Problem with the Witcher 2? You can't bind punctuation keys and I, J, M, and C are hard-coded for Inventory, Journal, Map, and Character, respectively. I started off Arrow Keys (of which Up and Down can't be bound through the launcher) and eventually moved to PL:" when I started playing FPS games. Regardless, I'm real glad about this patch, as the keyboard mapping issue pretty much screws anyone who is and/or mouses left-handed.
AMD? i've read on the GOG.com forums that AMD is working on a new driver release to fix the Crossfire issue, but until then they recommend uninstalling/removing a GPU
nVIDIA? reinstall the drivers (clean) and skip the 3DVision stuff Take your pick, both have software workarounds. There're problems with the game and nVIDIA's 3DVision drivers on one side of the river and problems with AMD's Crossfire drivers on the other side.
