Anyone at GOG possibly know when the next patch is going to come. A bunch of people, including myself are waiting for a resolution fix for 16x10 and 4:3 to get rid of the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. I hope soon.

Thanks if anyone has any real info!

there's supposedly a hotfix patch coming out in a few days, no idea what it'll fix though

I've heard, just wondering if anyone out there knew a firm date or at least an estimate so I know not to sit around waiting. I really want to play but having the borders drives me crazy.

Are the bars that troublesome?? Shoot most all GOG games have them don't they??

I play mine 1600x900 bars all around on a 1920x 1200 Monitor!! 24" (sit close) other wise get vertigo, when I get new glasses I'll push the monitor back and expand the resolution, but at least its nice and sharp now!!

Most of the games I've played from gog don't have them. They about an inch and a half top and bottom. I know its cutting stuff off. I know alot of people who enjoy the effect, I just despise it with a passion.

I don't mind waiting, heck I know the witcher forums arn't even up yet, I would just like to hear some kind of eta on it, that's all. I know cd projekt will get it done eventually.

It would be nice to get a response from somewhere, I've tried here, their website, emailing support, and can't do the forums cause they are still down. Does anyone from CD projekt view these forums?

yes they are bothersome... especially on 5:4 1280x1024 the difference between 16:10 and 16:9 isn't as big....

And no most of the gog games most definitly don't have those, because they are either dosgames and dosbox can run games in a window and fixes aspect ratio... also those games were made for small resolution so you don't have any problems with too small UI there and unreadable text as you have in Witcher 2... or it are older games for windows that support all kinds of aspect ratio...

I just wish they had someone from support on these forums answering questions like these since their forums are still not up and running.

for me it's not the bars that are problematic, I can live with bars. But at 1280x 1024 I shouldn't have to squint to read the small text! My eyesight is not perfect, but having to lean to play a video game is kinda ridiculois.

Mind you. I'm not complaining! I love the game so far, and I'm very happy about it. I'll keep on playing it and hope that someday I'll be able to enjoy it EVEN MORE as soon as the patch comes :-)

Peace. Technically it's a different company. They're onwed by a single entity Optimus-CDProjekt, and the offices are adjacent, but they're not the same people.

And honestly, I'd rather all the technical minds at Red to work on patching and fixing, not talking to the community. And the PR people at Red should just keep their mouths shut for a while ;-)

Then they should get their forums up as soon as possible so we can start posting issues there and they can at least answer questions. Having just an email to send requests to right now is extremely annoying.

I'm guessing here, but it seems that they didn't realize how big of a game this was going to be thus their servers couldn't handle the load.

The official explanation would be: As for the forums, they are rebuilding the whole thing to accomodate the new amount of traffic, add options people requested on the old forums, and get up to date with the internetz in general.

I personally think they're understaffed. They're a medium sized Central European dev company, releasing an AAA title, things were sure to get SNAFU to some extend. The office must have looked like Apollo 13 Command Centre on launch night.

Considering all they're doing pretty well. Not perfect, but very brave and determined >.<

I agree, they are doing the best they can. I just want to be able to play the game the way others who have 16x9 screen do, at true full screen. I'll keep up the vigil.

what i want worked on is combat movement.

if i throw a sign and immediately hold a direction key, geralt does not move. i have lost way too many times because you have to stand still for a half second before you can parry, or move after a sign (or item).

i think i'm alright at action type games, but i'm dying way too much for it to entirely be my own fault.

yeah i agree with you leondres i was hoping for more direct contact from cdprojekt side to the community for when we can see a new patch because now it's just a guessing game. It's one of the best games to date no question about that but it's just a bit sad that the russian version already has some patches but the english version isn't . I also don't get why it need this more time to get the patch out then for the russian one
