Shani may disappear completely if in Chapter II you manage to get both the Old Friend of Mine quest to advance to "Bring Liquor" and the Anatomy of a Crime quest to advance to "Get the corpse from the Gravedigger".(Seems to happen when you manually save over an autosave.) When loading some saves in Chapter I, the game plays the cutscene from the beginning and then freezes.Crashes continue to occur when saving or using the Journal or Inventory after having used Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Esc frequently (usually more than ~ 5 times) during a gaming session.
Frequent crashes have been reported by some people playing on Windows Vista.Random crashing, often when (auto)saving.This problem only occurs when the Enhanced Edition is installed.I have tried setting the graphics to 800圆00 instead of 1920x1200 and the results were the same.System/Software Specs:The Witcher: Enhanced Edition v1.5OS: Windows XP SP3 Home Edition 32-bitPC Type: Personally BuiltMobo: ASUSCPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHzRAM: 3GBPage File: 4GBDirectX: v9.0cVideo Card: ATI Radeon HD 4670, 1GB, APG, (1920x1200, 32bit, 60Hz)Sound, On Board ASUS: Realtek AC97 Audio Video Card Audio: ATI HD Rear Audio Output (via HDMI cable to VIZIO LCD then standard audio cable to surround sound system)Sound System: Durabrand Digital Home Theater SystemCodec Pack: CCCP Hardware Drivers: All fully updated. I have the original non-Enhanced Edition of The Witcher and this problem does not occur with it. Sometimes the same pre-rendered cutscene will work perfectly, sometimes only play half the audio, sometimes nothing at all, and sometimes there is no music and only voice audio during the pre-rendered cutscene.I have tried both on-board sound/audio and the video card’s sound/audio and the problem is the same. All in-game menus and normal gameplay have perfect sound, music, and audio. Examples, ‘Atari logo video when the game starts’, ‘fight with the striga prologue’, and ‘end game pre-rendered cutscene.’ All in-game cutscenes that use the game’s own graphics engine have perfect sound, music, and audio. If and when there is sound or audio during pre-rendered cutscenes, it is choppy and only lasts a couple of seconds or comes in snippets of sound. Problem: No sound or audio during pre-rendered cutscenes.
