Can you upload save game where I can see "Remains" message?

Maybe crash is SLI related? Try to play without SLI.

Figured it out. You have to disable AA in the graphics option. For some reason the game's in-house AA caused display driver crashes.

Thanks for fixing Dice Poker, now I can take Zoltan's money in surround with bezel management!
I was mistaken about the "Remains" message. For some reason it doesn't pop up for the man eating plants from the cave in the outskirts of Vizima. I started a new game to check it and it worked just fine.

There is also a common crashing issue if you use the games launcher to play the game instead of making a shortcut directly to witcher.exe.

I've downloaded the Zip file but what do I do now? where do I need to extract it too. when I run it I just get a series of Error messages.

"Program can't start because binkw32.dll is missing" "Program can't start because mss32.dll is missing" and "Program can't start because CommonLibs.dll is missing"

any help with this? I know it's a old/long running thread.

For any one playing the enhanced edition from GoG I've found that only the first version of the patch works well with it.
The others have messed up menus and the HUD only has the signs section of the HUD visible magnified and near the centre of the screen, I guess the rest of it is stretched off screen.
Could be a conflict between GoG changes and the centred HUD fix, the HUD is fine in the unpatched version at 21:9.

FMV and cutscenes are working well.
Dice game also works fine.
The quest announcements and notices of entering new areas have some of their text cut off.

You need to replace the witcher.exe already on your system with the one from the zip.
Make a copy of the old one first so it's easy to go back if needs be.
It's in a folder called system in the games install directory, the dlls it needs are there.
