It is universal. I've had these discussions on other forums. It always starts off with "well I don't have the issue, it must be your system", and ends with them them admitting that they can see the issue on closer inspection, and that they just didn't notice it. It also turns out that it's a known issue with the engine, and present in other games that use it.

There is negative acceleration in the mouse, and mouse sensitivity fluctuates with the framerate.

If you have a high tolerance for crappy mouse input, then by all means play the Witcher. It looked to me like a potentially excellent game. But if you're at all discerning when it comes mouse input, do your sanity a favor and don't bother with it.
There are a plethora of games I haven't bought, or bought and uninstalled because of mouse issues. That said, I haven't played the game for probably 5 years, I may have noticed it at the time and since forgotten about it, or found a way to fix it for all I know. This was also on Windows XP, never played the game since I installed 7.

As for the frame rate issue, I had it locked, so I didn't have to deal with it.

I can think of a very good reason not to own the first Witcher: the fact that it's rendered virtually unplayable by it's appalling mouse input. It has possibly the worst negative acceleration of any game I've played.

I don't ever recall seeing mouse input issues or acceleration problems in TW1, but its been a very long time since I've played the game in an unpatched state. I've been replaying it under the current EE/DC version and haven't noticed any issues at all.

The issue I am seeing, though, its more video card related. The game has no frame rate lock, and for some reason my 290X under Cat 14.7 RC1 and RC3 refuses to recognize v-sync at all. Which causes the game to run at an absurdly high frame rate, think 120-200fps, all the time. Which causes my 290X to run at maximum clocks, which results in it loading into the 90C range. Totally unnecessary for a game like TW1, even with the high res texture packs.

There's also a problem with dual monitors, with the mouse cursor failing to lock to the primary display. Easily resolved with Cursor Lock from SnakeByte though. Have to do the same thing for Empire Total War and Shogun 2.

Come no way that bad far from, it ,infact as I stated played through the game four times with just mouse and keyboard with no issues,if it was any easier you would be using a gamepad controller on a console.


Witcher one is still one of the top RPGs IMHO,I sometimes wonder if some users just complain for sake of it rather then just playing the game.

Kind of ironic I'm in my 50s and have no issues with Witcher 1 mouse controls .

I liked the music and bearded, somewhat wizened looking Geralt seems more likable as a character for once. The gory bits were good, visceral but not overdone.

Not a bad trailer.

This is just another reason why I love CDPR: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...er&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialoomph

You get a DLC, you get DLC and you get a DLC, everybody gets a free DLC.

Free horse armor included. This probably wasn't DLC to begin with but just a stab at the rest of the industry.

Now to contrast it what I saw on Steam mere moments ago:



Ahh, the pressures of a publicly traded company. It's hard to get those bonuses don't ya know.

I'm really looking forward to this game. Too bad I missed the PC Collector's edition bundle it seems, Amazon is sold out.

Going to try to do one more play through of the Witcher 2 before 3 is released.

You've done both paths I take it? I personally prefer Iorveth's path as I think that has a much better story than Vernon's.

It does, you have an opportunity to find out about Saskia and kill Stennis. I have the saves ready for No 3. This will be fascinating, the previous war with Nillfgard basically broke the world.

Do you guys think there will be a bunch of different paths in the Witcher 3? It seems like it would be a different experience with the whole open world aspect. Sorry if this was answered by the way I didn't read the whole thread.

While I do like multiple endings, what I don't want is like one different thing to happen that counts as a ending, for example they talk about choice consequences in the article where a settlement could be dead or alive.

now I could see them counting an ending where that settlement is alive as 1 and dead as 2 which would be 2 of 36.

I'm thinking it will be more sort of like fallout where there might be a few(2 or 3 for example) main ending and then all your choices will be reflected, this guy died, this settlement lives because you kill the griffin that was stalking it etc.

Ciri is a playable character too, it was confirmed during the Dorito Pope's award show.
