Retail hotfix is out:

http://www.thewitcher.com/patch1-35/

Quick testing shows that shadows look correct and indoor performance is fixed. The menu names look weird to me but I will take what I can get...

*Edit*

Alt-tabbing out and back into the game breaks the shadow fix. Also, I appear to have more pronounced crosstalk now but will test it further.

I agree. 3D Vision now seems to be working at the correct frame rate, and the shadows are fixed. The alt-tab, service hack does indeed break shadows again. So we have to live with locked convergence unless anyone knows a way around that. I'll keep an eye on the cross talk, but I didn't notice any on the quick tests I just ran. However, they do seem to have broken the menu (see attached screen shot). Looks like the class IDs are in place of the menu text. heh. They still work though. I'll post that in their forum.

It's worse, the in game characters have weird names now and some of the merchants I tried to talk to don't work.

When I get time, I'll try a re-install and full 0 to 1.35 patch, rather than the incremental.
Hopefully that will help.

There's little point in continuing the thread here in the NVIDIA forums.

I am doing a full reinstall with the 0 - 1.35 patch as I post this. I will post back my findings when I am done.

Sweet - did a full install of the game using the 1 - 1.35 patch and the name/menu issue is gone. You still can't alt-tab out of the game or it will break the shadows but 3D Vision now works finally. Looks like I will be able to start my 2nd play through now!

Apparently I installed the Japanese patch. Dooh!
I re-ran the english version and it fixed the titles.
Still, I think a full re-install is in order now.

I had the right update patch but at least the problem was fixable with a reinstall for me. Assuming that a later patch doesn't break 3D again, I will go ahead and proclaim this game my 3D Vision Game of the Year so far.

I'm one of those who have been waiting to play it until S3D was fixed .... but I am glad to hear that.

Forgot one thing ...

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread, and to putting the pressure on CDPR/NVIDIA to get this fixed.
Without that ... we'd still be sitting in boring old 2D land dreaming of better days.

I am going to steam to buy game now!
But hopefully convergence will get unlocked.

Game looks and plays (so far) great. They may have been a day late and a dollar short, BUT they did finally come through after all of our bitching and moaning. Guess we have that going for us...

Hey, hey, hey, hey-now. Don't be mean; we don't have to be mean, cuz, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Well, color me surprised - a month ago I wouldn't have bet on a fix comming out; even played through the game once already. Guess now I can enjoy a second run on the other side with 3D enabled :)
Sure, convergence might be locked but I rather take the game in the state it is in now

That's been true for about two months now.

Anyway, good to hear that things are working now. I guess I need to wrap up Bloodlines!

P.S. Heaven only knows why convergence is locked. Maybe when a game does 3D itself instead of just letting NVIDIA drivers do it they have to put in their own routines to handle convergence changes? That's just a wild guess.
