CD Projekt RED announces that the release of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition has been delayed. The delay can be attributed to the company’s goal of making The Witcher: Enhanced Edition as close to a flawless product as possible. CD Projekt RED is dedicated to a simultaneous worldwide launch, and is taking the extra time to polish each language version to meet the high standards of the global games market. The exact date of the premiere of the Enhanced Edition will be announced in the upcoming days.

CD Projekt RED decided to edit some language versions to meet the highest standards. Work continues on the English version, in which a significant amount of dialogue is being re-recorded and over 5000 lines of the script were rewritten, as well as the German version, in which the translation is being improved and many characters are receiving new voice-overs.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition will be free of the majority of criticisms noted by fans and media in the original version of the game. The enhancements cover two major areas: removing technical issues (loading times will be reduced by 80%, stability of the game on various operating systems will be improved, and numerous improvements will be made to enhance fighting precision) and the aforementioned changes in language versions. Additionally, the product will ship to retail in a value-packed bundle that includes all language versions on a single master disc, the D’jinni Adventure Editor and two official adventures, the official soundtrack, an album of music inspired by The Witcher, a game guide, a map of The Witcher’s world and more. All of the enhancements will be available as a free download to existing game owners.

The exact date of the premiere of the Enhanced Edition will be announced in the upcoming days.

I'd rather they released it perfect to be fair. Its not as if anyone who desperately wants to play the game can't at the minute anyway, they'll just have to settle for a buggy version for the minute :p
 
Plays OK for me, had one crash after several hours thats all.

Also I found some of the language 'eccentricities' as part of its charm.

Any idea how this will work alongside an original version of the game? Should I install on top (and potentially lose my save games) or play both :)
 
Lots of extras in the retail pack, I wonder what they'll charge for it (glares at Age of Conan and it's €50 for a load of tat)
 
An amazing game. I'm in no rush for the Enhanched Edition since I want it to be a good as it can be - it deserves to be.
 
Im wondering wether or not to pick this up, as after playing the demo, a few things struck me. The combat just seemed......weak. Click *wait* click *wait* click DEAD, bit boring imo :( The voice acting didnt help either "Trish, babe".
 
Im holding off playing it until the enhanced pack is released. Im on Act 2 but don't mind restarting when this comes out.
 
Does the improvements list include improving the incredibly boring combat mechanic? 1 Mouse click, 2 mouse clicks, 3 mouse clicks yay max combo... argh. I think I really would have enjoyed the game if the combat didn't make me fall into a nigh-on comatose sleep.

Click to expand...

you forgot '4 mouse clicks' :D

The comabt would have been great if it encorporated something like different cobo moves per level gained, and different key presses for them, something very similar to what 'Severance: Blade of darkness' used... THAT was an awesome game!!

Waiting for this enhanced patch myself, i'll play through the game again then, but try and pick a different rout or something...
