cd ["Path to unpacked Gibbed RED Tools"]

For example:

cd "C:\Users\Łukasz\Desktop\Gibbed Red Tools-768-\Gibbed RED Tools" Gibbed.RED.Unpack.exe "E:\pack0.dzip" "E:\w2rozpakowany"

This fixes the grass apearing right in front of you.

This bug was introduced with the enhanced Edition of the Witcher 2. White grass seems to be only loaded 2-4 feet in front of you. Some people might think this is an LOD issue but I think that CDPR just got a few files confused when updating.

Install:

unpack files to the CoocketPC in the game folder.

Fixes a bug in all Enhanced Editions which prevented the ability to successfully persuade Radovid that you don't know who killed Henselt.

Description:
This mod fixes a small bug that was introduced in the Enhanced Editions which completely prevented the ability to successfully persuade Radovid using the "I wasn't there." dialogue selection when asked if you know how Henselt died during the "For Temeria!" quest in Loc Muinne. I don't believe this decision has any impact on The Witcher 3, but I just couldn't progress knowing that I had no choice but to give Radovid information that he could use against me or Roche in the future - since the only other options are to tell Radovid that Roche did it or take the blame for it yourself.

Additional Information:
This mod only changes the persuasion level required for success on this specific dialogue option from -1 (meaning it can never be successful) to 1 (meaning it is likely to be successful), so it shouldn't cause any issues regardless of which path you choose or what you decided to do with Henselt.

I have also uploaded an alternative file - 1.0b, which is the same as the main file but with a required persuasion level of 3 (the original persuasion level required to succeed before the EE). Note that this version will only make it possible to successfully persuade Radovid, but will not guarantee success, even if you have leveled your persuasion to 3.

Installation:

Extract to the CookedPC folder in your Witcher 2 directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\the witcher 2\CookedPC (If your using steam)
C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\The Witcher 2\CookedPC (If your using GOG Galaxy)

Uninstallation:

Delete "q301_start_pro_roche" folder located in CookedPC\game\3_act3\quests

This mod makes Geralt lose all items imported from W1 after the prologue. Also includes new Aerondight model taken from W3.

Description:

In the vannilla game, items imported from Witcher 1 get useless pretty fast. In case of Aerondight and Raven's armor, which are presented as one of the best equipments and weapons in the Witcher world, this is especially frustrating.
And what's more, Aerondight, the most iconic sword of the series, doesn't even have a unique model in this game. Just improving the stats of these items to make them more powerful however breaks the game's balance and takes the fun out of finding new items. And in Witcher 3, it is implied that Geralt lost Aerondight. What better chance to do so than in the dragon's mouth?

Installation:

Just copy the extracted "CookedPC" folder from the archive to your "The Witcher 2" directory.

If ProjectMersey is installed as a .dzip, you will have to use the .dzip version of this mod as well and activate "ZZZ_ImportedItemsOverhaul.dzip" in the game's launcher/configurator.

This is a small mod that replaces the blurry and confusing alchemy substance icons in several of the in-game GUI's, with those from the original Witcher game.

Installation:

Copy the "globals" folder to YourDriveLocation:\The Witcher 2\CookedPC

There are only 9 DDS files and 2 swf files. This will overwrite any custom 'calchemyslot.swf' and 'cfilter.swf' you may already have. So it'sprobably a good idea to check, before installing.

ENBSeries graphic modifications and patches are different.
Patch is fixing specific bugs in the game it was developed for, but some of my patches work with other games, because frequently game developers do the same mistakes. For example, patches for Silent Hill Homecoming, Deus Ex Human Revolution and TES Skyrim may help to reduce lags, stuttering, crashes, bsods, increase performance, fix strange bugs on single core cpu systems.
Graphic modifications do not have patch code in most cases, unless specified in documentation, they are changing graphic effects of the games and adding new effects, so they are decrease frame rate.
Convertor is special library which translate old graphic technologies to newest supported by ENBSeries, convertor standalone do not add any graphic effect. Some versions of convertor included in graphic mods, check them also if target game won't work properly with convertor you are using. At this moment only direct3d8 to direct3d9 (dx8 to dx9) convertor is done, but i'm still planning to create versions for dx5,6,7 and opengl. Convertors to dx10 or d11 are useless, because graphic modifications not existing for them.

Old versions of ENBSeries may work with many games which are using direct3d8 or direct3d9 (dx8, dx9), newest versions in most cases will not work for other games, as they are hardcoded to be compatible with one game only or games which use same game engine without much changes. Versions for TES Skyrim, GTA 4, Deus Ex Human Revolution are not working as generic for different games.

If you wish to modify some game, download several versions of ENBSeries and try them all, which will look better, without graphic artifacts and with as much effects as possible. Of course manual tweaking of configuration file must be done, it's up to you.

Not all versions of ENBSeries are listed here, some were developed exclusively and not available to public or were not named. In most cases they are for indie games and engines like FPS shooter.

Check also customized versions of the mod with presets made by users. My presets are not configured for fast performance or quality, because everyone have own taste and to spend time for tweaking is not interesting me.

Also some versions available on the forum.

Quote from Boris
- "Many software types have compatibility issues with the mod because they hook in to game process or graphics, so make sure you do not run anything like that. This includes Steam overlay, EVGA, Afterburner, Avast antivirus, EMET, D3D Overrider, Razer and Logitek utils."

So don't have any such things running or you will find your self getting lots and lots of crashes.

5.
Launch the game as usual!
