It sounds like there's a problem with one of the files in the patcher; the GOG.com version, if you download it from your shelf, does not have this issue.

We've let RED know (and, of course, their forums have already lit up with this), and they're working on a fix as soon as they can get it out to you guys.

Sorry about this.

Apparently there is one file on one server somewhere on the CDN that is corrupt. As such, this is kind of impossible to track down. RED will post a fix shortly for the corrupt file.

EDIT: Its already fixed. http://en.thewitcher.com/ee_manual/. And I got ninja'ed to boot.

Vitor121796: What if your launcher is broken and not showing any text? Will it solve that also?
I think rebooting your PC should fix that, according to another poster.

Vitor121796: Yeah, if this is affecting everyone, then this is a huge oversight and not a simple 'server load' problem that couldn't be avoided really. I don't see how this isn't tested beforehand, especially with the push GOG is making with The Witcher 2 (giving out free copies to Steam owners etc.).
It's fairly uncommon; it seems that it's one file somewhere in the entire CDN. They're working at updating the entire CDN cache, but a small percentage of users--which, when you're talking about 1.1 million copies of a game is still a large absolute number--have gotten a bad download. Apparently, they have a fix now and you will not need to redownload the entire game, but rather just a few files from it.

Freelance: Any chance of getting MD5 checksums of the correct files to verify them?
I don't have 'em, but you can ask RED on their forums.

StonerPimp: Unfortunatly i had already deleted the entire game and started the download of the GOG backup verison instead :( - lol.

Luckily i have 40dl/10ul fibreopic broadband so i'm 75% done already.
Yow. That's a fast download!

Vitor121796: Hasn't helped and despite manually downloading parts 0 and 1, the patch won't install because I 'haven't selected an installation language'. Nor can I as the box won't let me click on it.
Hm. That sounds outside the usual array of issues that have cropped up. I'd suggest putting in a ticket to Support and also hopping over to RED's forums and seeing if anyone there has had a similar problem and solved it.

AkiA: This is getting rather tragicomic for me. Since the first patching attempt failed and launcher seemed to have broken completely, I did uninstall the game completely and tried to install the game again from the boxed version and then patch it again. Turns out my Witcher 2 Game DVD number 2 is about 100 kilometers away from me and I just tried to install it from the bonus dvd...
Claim your free backup on GOG and download it from us?
