I tried using the newest version with my Retail version using eyefinity+crossfire but non of the fixes have any effect...still the two side screens are black. Any ideas?


Are you running flawlessws as admin and you have exe and plugin files in the same folder (not both in desktop or in a folder that has other files)

This is working just fine aside white dots and lightbug. 1.2 retail with 1.2 fix

Are you using nVidia or ATI? If you are using nVidia DON'T use the SLI guide to set the CUSTOM profile (change the SLI compatibility bits)... That is the reason the weird lights appear.
With the latest drivers the game has SLI support so use the default profile...

If you are using ATI...well I don't know what might cause it:(

Save game sent. Btw. The crash happens whenever I load a save game and not only when I have died. But it never crashes when I startup the game and load a savegame from the main menu, it only happens when I'm in control of Geralt and when I have died. :)

Alright I can reproduce it - is it just the Steam version or the GOG/Retail ... or both?

I reproduced it on Steam.

I only have the GOG & Retail, and the same crash happens with both versions.

Ps. As far as I know, the steam version has not been patched to 1.2 yet for any region (I guess CDPR released the patch to late last Friday).

It's the camera stuff thats caused the problem - I am going to have to remove it for now, basically on the first load everything is fine, on the second load it's writing to a place it shouldnt!

Spent a couple of hours trying to fix it - given up.

I see. That's unfortunate, but the "basic" fixes is Golden imo.

I guess we can't have it all :)

Registred just to post this:

Noooooo!

I really liked FoV stuff. Is there any chance just to enable it, without other camera stuff?


P.S.
I especially like how it worked well with cutscenes, which retained correct FoV.

Noooo!!! I loved the camera tweaks!!!! and I found a workaround. Before loading disable the hack; load the game; enable the hack and it works very good!!! Damn the tool updated....So I don't have the camera options anymore...
Can you please provide both versions? with camera tweaks and without??

Thanks!

Hey,

I just noticed that I run the game without running the "flawlessws" fix and I get surround NV...

- I still get the white dots on the right screen (how come ??)
- The shadows looks like sh*t (any fix ?)


I use sli 470 with 275.33 driver (just updated), witcher v1.2

Elior
You can see the white dots and the ugly shadows..

Ya I'm running the tool in its own folder with the plugin button, running as admin, and I tried enabling it before and after I lunch the game, but no effect either way. The tool says it found the process and has changed the FOV, but the two side screens are still black....

[quote]also - For some really strange reason I seem to get really poor performance when I choose full screen, but if I choose full screen = disabled it still runs at full res but the performance is 5 fold higher....


Amazing job HaYDen, just like that you've basicly fixed what should have been finished before game release.

Some small feedback here. I noticed on my right monitor, there is a rather strange line of white dots. Also, some of the text is stretched.



Also, I think I'm getting the FPS decrease that you mentioned. Where do I need to go to choose Fullscreen = Disabled? Did you mean in the Witcher 2 configuration?

same here with the dots...

Turn off motion blur.

The dots are the dev's fault - even in their native nvidia surround solution, it still happens.
