I have this game on Steam.  Hilariously, it came with the manual for The Witcher 2 instead of the original game, which does me no good and I thought was rather shameful promotion.  I've sent in a Steam support request, but meanwhile I'm wondering if anyone has the Enhanced Edition around here and can send me the PDF of the English version of the manual.

It's 13 Mb, too big for most e-mail services. I'll upload it to my mediafire account.

Much appreciated.  This situation is just silly, and lord knows how long it'll take Steam support to get back to me.

No prob. I got the game from GOG, no issues there.

Thanks, I owe you one.

No worries. I recently discovered the game and I've only played a bit into it... like it so far. Quite different than most RPGs.

So I've still been going back and forth with Steam support on this.  Their latest response:

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Hello Ryan,

We have contacted the publishers for information on the manuals.

The manual has been corrected and moved to the game it belongs to, The Witcher 2.

Unfortunately, the original Witcher does not have a manual.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

To which I responded:

The Witcher Enhanced Edition is advertised from CD Projekt Red with a PDF game manual, and GOG.com also includes a game manual with their version (a couple of my friends purchased through GOG and informed me of this).  So a manual for this version of the game does indeed exist.

http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_witcher - note the explicit statement that it comes with the manual.

I really like buying games through Steam, so perhaps you can understand why I'm a bit puzzled that Steam and GOG appear to sell exactly the same game, yet one provides a manual and the other does not.  Again, I have confirmed that a manual does indeed come with the GOG version of the game and I have actually seen it.

Care to investigate further?  I would think the publisher should provide the same level of support to Steam and GOG.

ROFL.

I just checked my Steam folder for this, and I have the manual.  Then again, it updated itself last night (despite the fact that I turned updates off), so maybe they fixed it.

Did you make sure its isn't the Game Guide, which is included, or the Witcher 2 manual that I had?

The 'date created' field says 5/4/2012, and the 'date modified' field says 6/6/2012.  Not sure if I believe it on the creation part (Windows is always kind of iffy about the date fields).

Also, it looks like I'm looking for a new image host.  Fsking photobucket resizing my screencaps.  :/
