No need to get all rageous and outrageous toward the mod's creator here. i think that the excessive damage bug comes from FCR2's end. when i install FCR2 on a clean installation of Witcher 2 and start a new game based on "A SAVE FROM WITCHER 1''the bug triggers as well. but it doesn't trigger if i start a new game without loading a WITCHER 1 save. now with Extreme Quality Flora installed, it just somehow triggers the bug inside FCR2. just guessing, but may be it comes from FCR2 damage formula. there may be other mods that trigger the bug inside FCR2. So EatChildren shouldn't take any blame (unless it was for chosing such a nickname :p)
Anyway, it appears that a talented modder has recently uploaded a mod based on Eatchildren's work but without any issue: '' Extreme Vegetation Rendering Distance"". just check it guys it's gem alongside his other mods.
Do not install this broken mod. If you don't install it 'correctly', it will f*#@ up your damage numbers and ruin your save. Gotta love mod authors that release broken mods and then abandon them.
Since this mod author couldn't be bothered, go and download the fixed version of this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/mods/898?tab=description and endorse him instead!
1. Navigate to the extreme_quality_flora folder in your UserContent folder. 2. Make a backup of the file "cook.hash" then open the original with notepad. 3. Open the downloaded Extreme Quality Flora Compatibility Patch with notepad. 4. Replace the content of cook.hash with the text from the patch. 5. Save cook.hash and load the mod.
Hi there. Love your mod but I’m having a problem! It seems your mod is working less and less the farther I get in the game. When I first started the mod looked great, I installed it correctly and everything was awesome. But the longer I play I start noticing more and more pop in start to appear. Like for instance, I’ll be running through Flotsam forest and most of the Foliage will render as the mod intends except for this brownish looking foliage that’s apart of the grass, it has really poor rendering and it renders as I run. It seems to have just started getting bad. What could be the issue?
This mod is causing occasional CTD or CTD when trying to speak to some NPC. Unchecking this mod resolves the problem. But the visual gain is so good so I'm trying to play with it anyway,
Other mods I use are: realistic eyes and zero weight.
---> IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY, THIS MOD IS GOOD <---
How do you install it correctly? Create a "UserContent" folder in your Documents folder (C:/Documents/Witcher 2/) and extract the mod into there. More exact instructions can be read in the readme file the mod author has written. ----> IMPORTANT: DO NOT ENABLE the mod for now! Make sure the mod has not been enabled by going to "Mods" in the launcher and making sure it's not enabled. Then launch the game and play until you're in Foltest's camp in the prologue. The game will autosave and once that's done, exit the game and enable the mod. From now on you can play without any problems. I tried installing it with Nexus Mod Manager, but it messed up my game royally, to the point where the game could not be launched. Don't do it, just install your mods manually - period.
Why ist this necessary? If you do not do as I described, the mod will mess up your game and make it so Geralt does insane damage, at least 5-6 times more than he should. The already quite high damage output is thus launched into the stratosphere. And once your playthrough is corrupted, you cannot undo it. You HAVE TO start a new game the way I described above. Trust me, you don't want to realize you're doing way too much damage way into chapter 2 of the game...
