    Hi I have a Malibal Satori P170HM (configuration in my signature) and I can't play the witcher 2 on low settings (1920x1080) without freezings.. I just tried a new game and the intro video is stuttering like hell. Got the latest NVIDIA driver.

    Can't be normal? Accordering to other reviews I should be able to play it on high (not highest) settings ?! Will try crysis 2 now.

    @edit: ah it was in window mode.. now on lowest settings it works well.. trying it on "high" now.
    @edit2: alright also working with high settings :> window-mode was causing the freezings.

    Good to see you got that worked out.

    It's always some small silly little problem.

    I dont get it - you have a very good configuration except your video card. Intel SSD, the more expensive 2760QM, 16gigs of ram, 3d display.... Maybe an AMD 6970M would have been a better choice if you play Witcher 2?

    To get it installed and working correctly, were you required to keep the "My Documents" in the default location? Having moved mine to the seconday hard drive I found myself unable to even start the launcher, though the configuration tool works.

    have you tried launching the game directly from its exe and not the launcher?

    It may be looking for the configuration files there. Instead of just moving the My Documents folder, I'd suggest doing a symbolic link and moving the entire C:/Users folder to the secondary drive.

    Move the Users Directory in Windows 7
