Patch 1.3 changelog
Quen Sign slightly de-buffed – Sign dissipates 20% faster after foes land a blow.
Awww nuts :3
Option to fist fight woman praying at a statue in Vergen has been deactivated.
Wait what, why remove that :D
Damn they are really dedicated to supporting it post release.
Rare to see these days.
Can't wait for the first expansion to come out to get back into it.

To be fair it needed that. Hopefully it's enough of a debuf. That sign is way too good and makes everything trivial.

Yeah, the final boss is a complete cakewalk with it. It's not as bad as Igni in the first one, where you could mash throughout 90% of the game using it and drinking a few Tiny Owl's, but still.
I'm waiting for this patch before I start over through Roche's path.
I'm glad they are nerfing Quen, but at the same time there were a few instances that were a pain in the ass even with it. Did anyone fight the Operator to get the Vran Armor? Holy shit that guy was a pain in the ass. His fireball spell is devastating and his gargoyle pals are no joke either.
@Ghostiet: I'm doing the exact same! I ran through and completed Ivoreth's with what I would consider a perfect run. Then I got wind of the patch so I decided to hold off on what I think is going to be my ruthless play through.

I think the only benefits of killing him are the staff weapon and dragon scales, the respec would be better if you went into impregnation because the mutagens keep the bonus if you respec out of it apparently, not that it matters at that point though.
@RichMeisterMan said:That is correct. I have acquired the armor without fighting the Operator. If I remember correctly, the blueprint isn't even on him but in some chest instead. Just make sure you look everywhere and most importantly, keep Vran Armor Enhancement with you.@Ghostiet: I'm doing the exact same!

The patch is out, but for some reason it wont show up in the automatic download client. And when i try to download the 100Mb file from their official website, both smartscreen and norton says it "could" be a harm to my computer since they have no information over it and few people use it. Why wont it show up in the luancher? No firewall is blocking it either so. Stupid patch...
@valrog: Right, the blue print isn't on him, nor the armor that's part of the recipe. He did have the vran armor enhancement though; where else can I get one if not off the operator's cold corpse?Chapter II, I believe. In the stone quarry somewhere, I'm not really sure where I acquired it. Though I could buy it from Bras of Ban Ard (The Blacksmith Sorcerer) though I'm not sure if I have repurchased my Enhancement or if he has it in stock.
Could someone help me with this patch?
As i previously mentioned, both Norton and SmartScreen say it could hurt my computer if i install the patch manually, but i ignored both of them, but now i get an error saying something about my version is not real when trying to install it... The patch wont show up in the launcher client, and now i can't download the patch manually either... Great. I have bought the retail version and registered my copy so i have no idea why it's acting like this now since i had no issues with the first and second update. In the launcher itself is an icon showing me that i'm online, and at the bottom it says that the 1.02 patch is ready to be installed, but i can't click on it, but it should be installed.
I installed the patch and I give some oponions here:
- The storage is broken for me I can put things in (which I did) but can't take ANYTHING out, which means all my crafting materials are stuck in there
- The junk panel does NOT show junk
- The glitch where Geralt will run into a random direction after going through a door is still there
- Sometimes item description are not shown
- The X360 pad controls with the stick are STILL unresponsive
Okay let me say this:
The concept of this game is awesome, the graphics are awesome, the voice actors are awesome, the animations are awesome, the music is awesome, the programming is horrendous. This game has so many obvious bugs and glitches that it still feels kinda broken to me after patch 1.3.
CD Prject Red, please get you some new programmers guys, these you have are not doing their job very good.
Dont suppose anyones sound has gone funky after the patch? My background music has just stopped and the voice acting is 50/50, sometime they speak, sometime I have to lip read.
