The Witcher: Enhanced Edition for PC is an improved version of a very successful Polish cRPG based on a series of novels by a popular fantasy writer, Andrzej Sapkowski. The developers were focused mainly on improving the source code of the game, and fixing various aspects of which the critics and players did not fully approve after the game release. A lot of effort was put into correcting the English and German language versions of the game - the quality of these was substantially improved in contrast to the original release.

According to players' expectations, the issues of the lengthy loading screens, and low general stability of the build, were addressed in the first place. The devs assured that the loading time has been reduced by up to 80%, and the stability issues - particularly visible among the players with low-end PCs, or unusual hardware configurations - were once and for all dealt with. The developers made a detailed analysis of the source code fragments responsible for combat and interaction with NPCs. The overall responsiveness of these aspects was greatly improved.
