How will this work on a system with a dedicated sound card and 5.1 Surround Sound speakers? Is it compatible?

Apparently many people are having this issue. There's a (currently) 21 page thread about freezing in the inventory screen. It happens to me repeatedly, and has caused me to lose a couple of pieces of gear (find special loot, look at the stats, game freezes, kill process and restart, special gear...

In all honesty, the first time I played the game (on Normal), the Kayran fight frustrated me to almost the same level. In hindsight, I found it to be completely unintuitive. I was trying to fight it, and that just doesn't work. I had subtitles off, and the ambient noise of the fight meant I...

In the first game, my sympathies lay with the non-humans; not because they were the underdog, but because Geralt has much in common with them. The common people want to have nothing to do with Witchers unless there is a dangerous monster that needs killing. The act I quest in the Vizima...

I got through it. The trick, for me, was using a Dancing Star on the Operator. For whatever the reason, after he got set on fire by it, he never tossed any more fireballs at me. It was doable up until it came time to close with him with pure melee though. I had to hide behind the pillars in the...

I kept Aerondight in my last playthrough of TW1. I preferred the critical effect bonuses on it plus 60% damage bonus to the flat 100% damage bonus with Moonblade. Plus, Aerondight with Argentia oil coating would do just enough damage with the first attack set to kill a bloedzuiger, giving me...

Unless I'm doing something wrong, that mod doesn't seem to work. The mysterious merchant has the exact same inventory he had before installing the file. Perhaps they changed something in 2.0?

If you go all the way through the mines, on Balin's body you'll find a storeroom key, and there are three grapeshot bombs in a chest in the storeroom. It's just enough to collapse all the rotfiend tunnels.

I got curious last night. I saved the game, hit ESC to bring up the options, navigated down to the difficulty setting and hit the left arrow. I got a popup window with two circles at the bottom containing basically the text I said earlier. Now, I don't know if this is significant or if it was...

It looks like you can change from Dark, at least the popup seems to imply that you can. However, it says that if you do you'll lose all the Dark items and quests without ever being able to regain access to them. Then it gives you the option to cancel or proceed. I don't really recommend going...

4 times to date. Iorveth's Path normal. Roche's Path normal. Once on hard (Iorveth), and I went through it again on normal once the patch with A Sackful of Fluff released. I'll be adding once on Dark soon.

That was exactly my point. Prior to this, the best armor in Chapter 1 was the Hunter's Armor you could make from a diagram gained from the Troll Trouble quest. It had an armor of 10 or so, and commensurate stats. Blasphemer's Armor is 15 armor, almost that of the Dragon Scale Armor from Chapter...

Dark armor without the blades? Just a curious thought on my part. I saw some stats on the items posted on another site; they say there that equipping the swords without wearing all of the armor is what causes the problems. Has anyone tried just equipping the armor and not the blades? What...

Delay when loading? This started for me with the 2.0 update; it didn't happen before. Any time I go to load the game, it loads fine, but there is a (sometimes long) delay before it begins loading. Some examples: When starting a new play session, from the main menu, when I click the Load button...

The Newegg page for the EVGA GTX 590 says minimum 700W power supply. I know people go crazy with them, and I would not need 1000W, but I do have the video card, sound card, Blu-Ray drive, DVD-ROM drive, and two hard drives in my computer. If I were spending obscene amounts of money on the video...

This is my current PSU. It would not handle one of the $900 cards, but it should be ok for a 560. I try not to skimp on power supplies.

It's not that I dislike Ati per se; way back when, my 9800 Pro was a STUPENDOUS card for a couple of years. It's just that there are some issues that always seem to crop up with Ati drivers. Back in Thief: Deadly Shadows there were flickering texture issues, for example, and when Deus Ex:Human...

2.0 ate my video card! Sorry for the troll topic, but I just couldn't resist. My 3.5 year old EVGA 9800 GT decided to die right in the conversation with Aryan LaVallette and not let the computer reboot afterwards. I made a quick run to Best Buy and snagged a little $60 card just to see if that...

That has been present since the beginning. The game basically resets your gear between prologue sections, so don't apply any enhancements until after you start chapter 1. It's not really a loss, as there are much better enhancements available once you get to Flotsam than you can find in the...

It's not the registry that's the problem. It's that uninstalling the game doesn't remove the files from the installation directory. After you uninstall, you have to manually delete everything in the location where you previously had the game before reinstalling, or else install the game to a new...
