The first patch for The Witcher 2 is set to go live later today, bringing a whole new set of fixes and gameplay improvements to the long awaited dark fantasy role-playing sequel.

Developer CD Projekt RED has announced over at the games official site that The Witcher 2 patch 1.1 will be release "this evening" that primarily deals with installation issues, DLC problems, key mapping and gameplay improvements. CD Projekt say that they expect "approximately 5% to 30% better framerate and faster game loading" for most players, especially those with the retail versions of the game.

Patch notes:

• Simpler and more reliable game installation and activation. Details to be revealed soon.
• Fixed the free Troll Trouble DLC download. It is now included n the patch so there’s no need to download and install it separately.
• Fixed an issue that prevented some users from downloading other free DLCs (the ones given out with some pre-orders, special promotions, etc). The launcher now properly refreshes the list of available DLCs and allows for installation.
• Performance improvements: approximately 5% to 30% better framerate and faster game loading for many users, depending on their individual systems and game versions. Owners of retail versions can expect the biggest improvements.
• Fixed random crashes occurring on some systems, especially after saving and loading saves.
• Key mapping – allows the arrow and number keys to be used for movement.
• Added the option to invert the mouse.
• nVidia surround vision now works properly.
• More accurate assessment provided by the “auto-detect settings” option will help improve game performance.
• Removed a bug that prevented completion of the “Blood Curse” quest.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the additional link in “Extras” from being unlocked after winning the dice game against the GOG.com monk.
• GOG.com credits now work properly.
