The Witcher – Original English Script and Journal Unlocked

RPG Codex Forum member 1eyedking has managed to fix the technical difficulties with unlocking the original English script for The Witcher. Originally his fix restored the English dialog, but caused some of the journal entries to be displayed in Polish instead of English.

The new fix resolved the journal entries problem and allows players to switch between three different dialog modes:

So, I’ve decided to make your lives easier! I found a way to get both the uncut dialogues AND english journal entries. You’ll also get rid of the ‘[dev]‘ tags before each dialogue. All of this in a neat, easy-to-install package!

Instructions:

Extract into your Witcher’s Data folder. Make sure everything’s in its default state.

In your Witcher’s Data folder you’ll find three files of particular interest:

English (original).reg – Double-click and select ‘Yes’ to load the original, uncut subtitles into the game. Journal entries are in english!
FinalEnglish (optimized).reg – Double-click and select ‘Yes’ to load the original, optimized subtitles into the game. This one’s dialogues and entries are slightly different to the ones above – test both and choose the one more to your liking.
FinalEnglish_Short (default).reg – Double-click and select ‘Yes’ to load the default, cut dialogues (just in case you want to go back…but don’t know why you would ).

You can switch between each of the three whenever you like.

Enjoy!

As an owner of the International version of The Witcher, I can recommend this fix to those who want experience a more authentic version of The Witcher’s world. Just remember to save and back up your files before you commit to the change.
