Sammelthread The Witcher 2 - Assassins Of Kings

Shadowchaser · 18. Mai 2011

Ich habe im PCG TEst gelesen das die das Kampfsystem umgeändert haben. In wie fern unterscheidet sich das Kampfsystem jetzt vom Vorgänger? Ist es leichter für Anfänger? Einerseits wird nämlich im PCG Test gesagt das es die Kampfstile nicht mehr wie beim Vorgänger gibt und andererseits das geübte Spieler Anfangs Probleme haben Schlagserien hinzubekommen.

Für mich war ja am ersten Teil, welchen ich kurz angespielt habe, das Kampfsystem ziemlich gewöhnungsbedürftig. Was ist da nun anders?

Ist das schlagen jetzt schneller?

Hier ist übrigens der Test: http://www.pcgames.de/The-Witcher-2-Assassins-of-Kings-PC-232263/Tests/The-Witcher-2-im-Test-Ein-spannendes-Fantasy-Epos-fuer-Erwachsene-824989/

88% ist schon echt ganz gut. Die Leserwertung fällt komischerweise niedriger aus.

mitcharts · 18. Mai 2011

Hm, die etwas niedrigere Leserwertung hat wohl zur Ursache, dass das Spiel bei vielen noch nicht wirklich rund läuft (Performanceprobleme, Spiel startet nicht, etc.).

Ich hab noch nicht lange gespielt, aber das Kampfsystem ist im Gegensatz zum ersten Teil deutlich anders. Vor allem, da man Geralt jetzt mit WASD steuert und ausweichen kann.

Shadowchaser · 18. Mai 2011

Ok. Würde mich mal interessieren wie das mitn klicken ist. Ob man da auch länger drücken muß oder in ner bestimmten Folge oder so. Kannst ja mal sagen wenn du weiter bist.
Ob der jetzt gleich richtig zuschlägt wenn man einmal klickt...ist ja für links schwacher Schlag und für Rechts starker. Wie ich gelesen habe.

mitcharts · 18. Mai 2011

Gibt doch Videos wo man sieht wie das Kampfsystem funktioniert ... !? (so als erste Anlaufstelle)

Shadowchaser · 18. Mai 2011

Ja ich gucke mir das mal an.

Das Release von "The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings" scheint anscheinend kein gutes gewesen zu sein ...

Gründe:
- Steam hat das Spiel zu spät bekommen, um es zu verteilen
- die Aktivierungsserver waren vom Andrang überlastet und mussten kurzzeitig offline genommen werden
--- und funktionieren immer noch nicht richtig, da man sich kaum anmelden/registrieren kann und auch keine DLCs bekommt
- das offizielle Forum wurde offline genommen, wegen Wartungen - 1 Tag vor dem Release und ist bis jetzt nicht online
- das Spiel läuft absolut nicht rund (Bugs, Hardwarefresser [Engine nicht gänzlich optimiert, Grafiktreiber nicht optimal], etc.)
- sehr viele User beklagen sich über das anscheinend doch sehr konsolenartige Verhalten des Spiels, trotz dessen es ein PC-Only-Titel ist

Ich bin wirklich gespannt, wie sich CD Projekt Red da wieder rausrudert. Ob am Ende ein ähnlicher Rundumschlag gemacht wird wie bei "The Witcher 1" mit der Enhanced Edition?

Ich werd am Wochenende erstmal ausgiebig die Einstellungen zwecks Optik testen.
(laut dem dem Forum bei gog.com sollen die anderen Auflösung respektive deren korrekte Seitenverhältnisse noch nachgeliefert werden)

EDIT:
Ein erster Patch ist für nächste Woche angekündigt worden:

Habe es mittlerweile fertig Geladen und eben mal angespielt.
Die Einstellungen habe ich auf Hoch gestellt, bis auf die Texturen. 2GB VRam lohnen. Bin bei um die 35 bis 45FPS. Ruckelt also nicht.

Dennoch, wenn ich mir die Empfohlenen HW Anforderungen so anschaue, sollte man eigentlich meinen, das ich auf der höchsten Stufe Spielen kann. Naja, warten wir den Patch mal ab.

Bis jetzt kam mir noch kein offensichtlicher Bug entgegen. Habe aber auch nur 3 der Szenarien im Prolog bisher gespielt.

Das Spiel selbst, gefällt mir bis jetzt wirklich ganz gut. Gibt genügend Kämpfe die man unterschiedlich bewältigen kann. Wobei manchmal die KI schon komisch ist. Entweder sieh Weht sich gar nicht (Wie beim kleinen Bosskampf auf der Burg). Da brauchste ich einfach nur Einschlagen und schon habe ich gewonnen ohne etwas ein zu stecken. Anderseits schaut man auch mal komisch aus der Wäsche weil man nicht viel schafft.

Von der Geschichte her habe ich natürlich noch nicht so viel mitbekommen. Dazu habe ich noch zu wenig gespielt.

Bis jetzt ist also meine Meinung noch Positiv. Aber die Erwartungen sind hoch gesteckt. Mal schauen ob ich Enttäuscht werde.

Performance-Tipp:
Diejenigen, die das Spiel Retail gekauft haben, sollten versuchen an die .exe der GOG-Version zu kommen.
Beim Tausch dieser, erreicht man einen FPS-Zuwachs von rund 10.

Quelle: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/16852183-post756.html

Hintergrund wird wohl die Implementierung von Securom in der Retailversion sein. Denn bei der GOG-Version gibt es diesen nicht.

EDIT:
Wenn man dem Fraps-Benchmark glauben schenken darf, dann bringt das selbst bei einem Quadcore etwas. Zumindest im Bereich Min- und Avg-FPS.

Retail-.exe:
Frames | Time (ms) | Min | Max | Avg
2665 | 60000 | 34| 63 | 44417

GOG-.exe:
Frames | Time (ms) | Min | Max | Avg
3281 | 60000| 46 | 63| 54683

"Gebenchte" Szenerie ist der Angriff auf die Ballista im Prolog.

Das Spiel startet auch etwas schneller mit der .exe der GOG-Version.

@gorsi
Falls du das nicht schon gemacht hast:
Stell mal in den Grafik-Optionen alles auf "Sehr Hoch", dafür aber das "Über-Sampling" aus, das sollte nochmal einen ordentlichen Schub geben.
Des Weiteren kannst du auch mit den Tiefenschärfeoptionen spielen, da viele unnötig sind, die "Vignette" benötigst du nicht (HDR-Spielerei an den Rändern) und Motionblur deaktivieren.

Gorsi · 22. Mai 2011

Danke, werde ich mal ausprobieren. Mit den Einstellungen habe ich mich noch nicht groß befasst, da ich erst einmal Spielen wollte. Außerdem gibt es schön viele Einstellmöglichkeiten, was mich freut. (denn in der getesteten Beta gab es ja wie bei crysis 2 auch nur 3 oder 4 Einstellungsmasken...)

Ich hab leider noch keine direkte Quelle dafür gefunden, außer dem einen Beitrag aus dem GOG-Forum:

EDIT:
Hier ist ein offizielles Statement von CDPR:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_witcher_2/the_witcher_2_patch_1_1/post227

Internal tests of Patch 1.1 are well under way. Our current target is to release it this evening. Please note that although we are doing our best to have it ready by then, the time still may change in order to be completely sure that the patch will function properly. This is our primary concern since there are significant changes and upgrades that will affect many users.

1. Simpler and more reliable game installation and activation. Details to be revealed soon.

2. Fixed the free Troll Trouble DLC download. It is now included n the patch so there's no need to download and install it separately.

3. Fixed an issue that prevented some users from downloading other free DLCs (the ones given out with some pre-orders, special promotions, etc). The launcher now properly refreshes the list of available DLCs and allows for installation.

4. Performance improvements: approximately 5% to 30% better framerate and faster game loading for many users, depending on their individual systems and game versions. Owners of retail versions can expect the biggest improvements.

5. Fixed random crashes occurring on some systems, especially after saving and loading saves.

6. Key mapping – allows the arrow and number keys to be used for movement.

7. Added the option to invert the mouse.

8. nVidia surround vision now works properly.

9. More accurate assessment provided by the "auto-detect settings" option will help improve game performance.

10. Removed a bug that prevented completion of the “Blood Curse” quest.

11. Fixed a bug that prevented the additional link in "Extras" from being unlocked after winning the dice game against the GOG.com monk.

12. GOG.com credits now work properly.

The full list of all changes will be available upon the release of the patch. If you have experienced any issues that are not on the list above, please don't worry. We have already started working on the next patch, which will address other difficulties and bugs, including those related to specific hardware setups; e.g.. Logitech g35. You may expect this second patch to be ready next week.

Patch 1.1 will be available for all the versions of the game, both retail and digital, except for Russian. However, we would like to assure our Russian fans that we are aware of the problems with the your version of the game (thanks for your reports!) and we are talking with 1C about possible solutions

Heute wird Patch 1.2 veröffentlicht:

New DLC!
"Barbers and Coiffeuses"

Some traders also provide barbershop services. For a small fee, Geralt can get them to change his hairstyle.

In Flotsam, in Chapter 1 of the game, these services are available from the antique book dealer Einar Gausel. In Chapter 2, look either for Sambor in Henselt’s Camp or for Felicia Cori in Vergen. This apprentice sorceress also provides hairstyling services in Loc Muinne, in Chapter 3 of the game.

Patch 1.2 adds a new free DLC package titled “Barbers and Coiffeuses.” To take advantage of barbershop and hairstyling services, look for Einar Gausel in Chapter 1 of the game, Sambor in Henselt’s Camp in Chapter 2, Felicia Cori in Chapter 2 if you travel to Vergen, and Felicia Cori once again in Chapter 3.

The “Three Sisters” quest has been fixed so that the door does not remain locked forever once the quest has been completed.

A number of progression breaks have been fixed, including instances of blocked meditation, inability to save game, and blocked combat after use of static cameras (e.g. game could not be saved after completion of the “Indecent Proposal” quest).

The progression break during the fight against the dragon in Chapter 3 (exploration not working properly) has been fixed.

The progression break during the fight against Dethmold (whereby he sometimes remained behind his barrier, doing nothing) has been fixed.
