Changelog for Patch 964-Ansel / GOG-4 (added 07 November 2016):

- We have now updated The Witness with support for NVIDIA's Ansel imaging tool.

- We did this because Ansel adds a lot of interesting ways to take images from the game; because The Witness is highly visual, this should be some good fun.

Capabilities include:

- Super-resolution screenshots (waaaay higher than your monitor resolution)
- 360-degree panoramic screenshots
- Image tweaks for brightness, contrast, color control
- Postprocessing filters

- To use this stuff, make sure The Witness is updated, that you are running a supported NVIDIA GPU (GeForce GTX 600-series or later; for a list of compatible GPUs, see http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/ansel/supported-gpus ), and that you have recent drivers for your NVIDIA GPU, then press alt-F2 during gameplay. The Ansel control panel should appear.

- When in Ansel mode, you get a bit of control to fly a free-floating camera around. So as not to break the game, if you are in the entry castle at the very beginning, you can't fly very high; but once you turn off the force field and exit the courtyard, you can go much higher.

- Here's the announcement on NVIDIA's site: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-ansel-for-the-witness-available-now
I downloaded all 3 installation files. Files 2 and 3 (3.9GB and 153MB) can not pass integrity check. I redownloaded them twice but still they fail.
