GOG giving away free copies of Witcher Enhanced Edition (24 hours only)

[BFG10K]

Yet again GOG proves it's the best digital distribution platform in existence. You just need a valid email address to claim.

By supporting GOG you're also supporting customer rights like DRM free games. Give Steam/Uplay/Origin/Rockstar Club the middle finger where possible.

I saw this yesterday but didn't feel like getting it. But now that you linked it here I changed my mind, no idea why. I just know I'll probably never play it, but who knows...

On a related note, the Windows 10 anniversary update broke the game when exiting. The best way I found to fix it is to restart the graphics driver by pressing Win + Ctrl + Shift + B.

Also, the default Nvidia SLI profile has been broken for years. It causes light coronas to bleed through every wall. It's best to switch SLI to single GPU.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go get my copy.

Weird, I made this topic yesterday when the sale was going on for 48 hours and nobody seemed to care. My thread is still on the first page too... Same link and everything.

I didn't feel like making an Ars Technica account. Seriously tired of needing an account for every fricking thing under the sun. I didn't want the game that bad, even if it is a good site. Soon you are going to need an account to wipe your @SS.

Yeah I hate that too. The game is usually as cheap as 3 or 4 bucks on steam during sales anyway, think I've bought it about 4 times to give to friends.

I wonder why they went route?

They've given The Witcher I and The Witcher II away for free before, I think during one of their big sale promos.

Pretty sure that's where I got my copies, though I've yet to get time to play them.
