Starting on the 8th of July, you’ll be able to download the next update for The Witcher, version 1.5.The patch focuses mainly on removing troublesome DRM, allowing you to play the game without the disc, while providing additional hours of fun thanks to new adventures created by the fan community. Patch 1.5 is the next stage of The Witcher’s life, and is also a means of expressing our thanks to the modding community for their hard work ion creating the adventures. The update will also be included in forthcoming The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut; more info on that product will be released shortly.

Patch 1.5 features:
Modifications:
- copy securities (DRM) are removed
- playing the game no longer requires the game disc in the drive
- patch solves problems with EAX and blur

Additionally:
- 5 additional adventures made by the Witcher community: ‘Deceits’, ‘Blight of the Bogs’, ‘Wraiths of Quiet Hamlet’, ‘Wedding’, ‘Merry Witchmas’.

In order to install patch 1.5 correctly, you should have original Witcher game upgraded to 1.4 (enhanced edition).
Moreover, our website will be enriched with new graphic and music bonuses; also, a new section will appear, namely ‘Modifications’, which will enable you to download a mod to change the game’s difficulty level, created by Andrzej "Flash" Kwiatkowski. Gradually, new items will be issued there as well.

but in true Internet fashion, the surprise was beaten to the surprise by the surprise which was originally going to be the surprise, surprising us before the surprise could become surprise we were supposed to be surprised by.

This has been asked repeatedly but nobody has answered.  Will the steam version automatically update with this update?   Huh?

I already have all the adventures except 'Deceits' and 'Wraiths of Quiet Hamlet'. Will any problems occur due to overwriting of these files? And is the difficulty mod the Flash mod or FCR mod?

Sounds great -- nice job on getting rid of the DRM. I think I'll pick this game up on the 8th just for that. Smiley I've heard it's great; can't wait to play it.

you guys are unreal. constantly giving more than any developer i have ever seen. giving tools to people who may want to learn how to develop games but can't afford the price tag of 3ds max also to test out this field to see if its something you really might consider doing. i bought the original game and the e.e. even though it was free and i will buy the directors cut even though its free  because you have given so much way more than can be expected i just hope that in the new store version you might throw in some merchandise like
 the medallion or the dice game
