I have bought 2 versions : gog digital for me and retail premium from 1C local distributor for my girlfriend (because there is no Russian in gog version). First of all we installed boxed version. It was awful. No launcher, DRM installation, it was impossible to get DLC and there was no text in dialogs or main menu. So we uninstalled and deactivated it. There was a big surpise for to see that only 5 activation is available and 10!!! deactivations (9 currently).
Then we have installed gog version and there was no problem at all. And thanks to CD Project programmers it was realy easy (just copy localization files) to add russian language to gog version. So currently only my girlfriend plays in Witcher 2.
So, maybe those who downloaded illegal copy done that, because their retail version was so buggy and unplayable, because of DRM protection added.
P.S. Companies does not add DRM against pirates, every game get cracked anyway, but against their buyers.
