Since I can't check that site, what is the date for the patch release?

this patch makes me a happy panda
He also changed it so that when you hit the block button you do not block - you cast Quen. That also seems buggy....half the time I would cast my active spell instead of Quen.
ugh, not sure what to think. I tried playing the tutorial to reacquaint myself with the controls, but could not get past the riposte section. Right now I do not know if this is going to be usable. They also nuked monster xp, guess there will not be any more grinding....
EDIT: so there are some doubts that this will work with the steam version. the mod says is requires 3.4. The patcher folder shows a 2.0.
I tried combat in the arena, no automatic parry at all. consensus appears to be that has disappeared. this was after playing up to the stone golems, so everything in the combat trees was unlocked
It blows my mind that these guys are still putting out massive patches like this for a game that's over two years old now. CD Projekt RED has to be the single best thing to happen to modern PC gaming.
I quite look forward to replaying this game for a third time with this new patch.
I went ahead and picked up a copy from gog, on sale for $5.99, to test with the patch. I have the steam version but I don't mind paying to support the company, they are that great.

These guys put every other greedy publisher/developer to utter shame when it comes to supporting their games. CD Projekt is pretty much the only developer I am prepared to pre-order from at full price despite having a massive backlog.....everyone else I am more than happy to wait until their games drop to $10 a couple of months after release if I feel a compelling need to eventually play them.
So wait...there are different versions of the game? I don't have it installed anymore, but mine's the boxed version. It's the last boxed PC game I bought and probably ever will buy for that matter
I don't think mine required Steam (definitely not GOG), but I might be wrong.
Latest version of the game is 3.4.
I just meant based upon what Jiminator is talking about. He seems to think the Steam and GOG versions of the game are full-on different, least that that's how I'm reading it.

The install is a mod, from the witcher start menu it can be turned off by running the mod tool.
The steam version does not include the latest patches. When I checked my install the files were from 2011.
You can see the patches here: http://en.thewitcher.com/support/w2/
It shows 3.3 as the latest from feb this year. 3.4 must be newer.
