We've been announcing this to all and sundry, but if you still didn't know - The Witcher Enhanced Edition is now available on GOG.com! And because, we here at GOG.com like to stir things a little, so to show you how much we love The Witcher franchise we’re running a two week promo starting now.

Before venturing into [url=http://www.gog.com/tw2]The Witcher 2 world and continuing Geralt’s epic story, stop by and check out how it all began with the award winning CD Projekt RED's foray into PC game development. The Witcher is an action-RPG, based on a best selling fantasy saga written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The game features the titular witchers who are monster hunters for hire with supernatural powers. You will be controlling Geralt, one of the witchers, in the rich, deep and enthralling medieval fantasy world created by Sapkowski. Starting the game, Geralt remembers nothing. Kaer Morhen, the last remaining keep of the witchers, was attacked by a mysterious organization, and although the attack has been repulsed the secret recipe for the mutagen, a substance required to create more of your kind, has been stolen. You know what you have to do right? To give you a tip, we'll say you will be fighting ferocious monsters with the help of a revolutionizing and award winning combat system and saving damsels in distress.

During the next two weeks we have a special promo and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut is available for you with a 50% discount and will cost you only 4.99$! Can you really resist such great deal?

KOCollins: Next week on GOG join us for the exciting lesson on how to repair your broken toaster! Really guys, you were great for helping him out, it shows a lot of class, but, maybe it would have been a great oppurtunity to use that handy dandy new PM System GOG installed ;-)
There tends to be interesting tips to pick up though ;) that might be worth sharing with everyone though..... also I forgot what this forum topic was lol. (Happens when you open a bunch of topics in seperate tabs.)

Aaaannyyyyywayyyy.... The Witcher, yes, umm proper PC RPG not some watered down console port. It's tough, there's a lot of item management and potion creation etc, it's good but if you're a pervy little kid (or adult) I should warn you that you don't get to see much in the sex scenes, they're over very quickly and the women carry on afterwards like nothing's happened (which makes me think CDProjekt was really committed to realism.) So yes, buy it. Buy nowwwww.

Hi! I tried to start The Witcher and got a message saying that d3dx9_35.dll is missing. I did dxdiag and I have DirectX 11 installed. I tried to do a search in the forum here for d3dx9_35.dll, but it came back with 219 posts found - this entire thread.

So, I guess I have 2 problems. One, I don't seem to be searching the forum correctly using the search tool.

And two, The Witcher is requiring a dll that I don't have. Looking at the dll name, is it a DirectX 9 specific dll? should I install an older version of DirectX? I am running Windows 7 Pro 32bit with DirectX 11 installed. I looked in system32 directory and found:
d3dx9_32.dll, d3dx10_41.dll, and d3dx10_42.dll. Similar, but not what is being looked for.

A kind pointer to resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly, you need to install DirectX9, even though you already have DirectX11 installed. Older games can't use DX11 and have to fall back to DX9.

The 35 on it is a revision I think, or a runtime. TomNook is right, though you have Directx9 installed, there's probably a newer version you haven't got or the version you installed didn't install that revision properly. I wouldn't recommend searching for that .dll and downloading it on it's own as that could cause more problems, you're best re-downloading & installing directx9.
I think this is the one you need: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d

Edit: Yeah it's an older revision from June 2007 and it is indeed in that link above (just downloaded it and checked it.)

that artbook and the extras are just awesome
why the hell do you sell this at only 4.99$???????????????
Posted May 11, 2011
I bought this here even though I already had it on steam. I NEVER double dip on a game so congrats you're the first site to make me do it.
You should be rewarded for having such a good deal so that's why I decided to buy again

can someone post the size of the installer? I'm curious if it would fit onto a DL DVD+R
