I think it's just you, it was only recently released really, it adds about 4 more hours of gameplay, plenty of cinematics, quests and fixes. it also finally adds some content explaining what happened to Shani in the first game.

There's also the Dark difficulty which is harder than hard apparently, not noticed it so far.
It also includes some new items on that setting.

Ah ok, thanks for the info

When I finish the Witcher 1 and start on this... is it worth playing dark difficulty? I've been playing Grimrock and it's reminded me of the joy of playing a hard game...

Is dark difficulty possible for someone who hasn't played the game through already?

Argh I wish I'd waited to play through TW2! Might have to have another go now!

Enhanced Edition was just released.
The confused of us probably thought that The Witcher 2.0 was the enhanced edition.

I don't see why not, I played the game on hard when it came out and found it too easy.

Dark is very fun, although I found the oddest bug. Its extremely annoying, my saves aren't saving. I was well into Flotsam, died and now I'm back at the end of the Prologue..

Not played TW2 but I heard that difficulty setting deleted your save upon death?

Only insane difficulty blocks you saved games.

I'm suffering from a problem where you should NEVER use steam cloud for the witcher 2

Really wanting to get this game now but have a question. I just looked on Play and they have the Enchanced Edition for £39.99 but are also selling version 2.0 dor £11.99. Can I just buy the 2.0 version, input the CD key to steam and upgrade to enchanced for free?

All updates/DLC on the PC are free so yeah no matter what version you get you will get all the updates/DLC via download on the games launcher.

Nice you won't regret it is a top game. If you have not played the first make sure you do, it is longer and imo a better game. But Witcher 2 is great as well

Anyone else using the steam version and constantly needs to reinstall .Net Framework before the game launches?

It's so bloody annoying. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled in manually and updated it. yet it keeps on reinstalling after I launch the game through steam.

If I buy "The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings - Version 2.0" will I get the latest up to date release for the game? Its currently £11.99, where as the new version is £39.99, which seems too good to be true!

edit: seems yes you can as per previous post!

Using steam?

Here's some of the issues there's around.

The game refuses to work with Lucid software it seems. had to uninstall Lucid VIRTU to get the game to run.

I've a very annoying problem myself, hopefully they'll push out a good patch soon to fix it.
I hate waiting 10 mins each time I launch the game, just to wait for .Net to reinstall.
