I just can't get to grips with this game, everyone is raving about it and i love RPG's but just hate the combat with this! It just feels so awkward and unresponsive. So many time i've wanted to change targets and ended up going after the wrong guy, putting me in a bad position and getting smacked up.

The combat takes practice, but it does get better with time. Where do i find out how many hours ive played?

Crossfire 5870s

As for the combat. Once you unlock the parry ability that helps a lot. And also the counter attack later.

Can anyone plz tell me how to fully enable SLI? I just replaced my 6950 CF with 580 SLI but I'm getting lower fps average there. (275.33 whql)

Give this a try: http://www.overclock.net/pc-games/1021185-witcher-2-sli-fix-guide.html

Just tried the new CAPs and it hasn't fixed the lighting thing for me. Still not getting full GPU usage either so hoping that 11.6 will be better.

There isn't an ingame tracker that I've seen.

Which driver, 11.5b?

Harvey616 · 13 Jun 2011 at 23:38

Can anyone please recommend a good place to buy this game from, Dixons Download has it for £20 but the website is not agreeing with me

Any other places that sell it for a similar price?

People playing this with kb/mouse or pad?

CaptainRAVE · 14 Jun 2011 at 08:54

Less than a month to wait until I get this

unknownsock · 14 Jun 2011 at 10:06

I'm at 53 hours and just started Chapter 3, pretty sure Steam bugged out a tad!

KB/Mouse here.

Pighardia · 14 Jun 2011 at 10:23

KB/M too. Tried a pad, but didn't feel anywhere near as responsive.

muggs · 14 Jun 2011 at 10:45

can this be played with a 360 pad or is there not enough buttons?

Yes it is natively supported, already set up.

Strange, I started my second playthrough last night but had a little fiddle about with the config files, didn't manage to get anything working but my friend says he got better performance when he deleted the paul.dll file. I gave it a try and it seems so much smoother, I must have gained at least 15 fps in areas even with higher graphics settings than before. Even when the framerate drops the wierd stutter seems to have vanished as well.

Just updated my Nvidia drivers (27533) and I get just about playable fps with ubersampling enabled (gtx470 q6600) anyone else experiencing better performance with ubersampling?

Whackeygrunt · 15 Jun 2011 at 01:30

Is there a built in performance test you can run before starting the game? I would like to see how it runs before starting a new game and having the start up ruined by a crappy framerate.
