I owned and played Witcher 1 years ago. It's a great game for the time and engine and I'd love to play throught the whole series starting with this again. Unfortunately, getting it to work properly on a modern Windows 10 machine is so much work. Specifically, the screen-tearing without vsync makes the game unplayable and, naturally, there is no option to enable vsync in the settings. That means you'll have to hunt-down the instructions for an obscure, obsolete, 3rd-party utility that you will also need to download, install and configure. I tried it once and it didn't work anyway, after a couple of hours work. Just reading the outdated instructions again was enough to put me off. At least I didn't pay anything for the game this time.
Is this helpful to you?
