"Medical Problems 2" Installation Instructions


Installation for Windows 8


1.  Copy the ADV file to the C:\Users\Public\Documents\The Witcher folder.  You should see a m1_module.adv file already in this folder.  If not, it's probably in the wrong folder, unless you know that you've removed "The Price of Neutrality."

2.  The first time you start the game, go to the Options panel, to the Game Options tab and make sure that the "Subtitles" option is checked.

3.  If the language in which you play The Witcher is not already set to English, please set it to English before starting up the adventure, or you'll get a bizarre error message.

4.  Unless you know that The Witcher's autosave doesn't work properly for you (this is true for some people), I recommend that you turn autosave on.  (The Witcher has a tendency to crash when loading large areas, and I make sure my adventure autosaves right before I load large areas, so if The Witcher crashes on you, you won't have lost anything.)

5.   Note that this adventure is for The Witcher; it is not intended for -- and will not work with -- The Witcher 2 or The Witcher 3.

6.  If you like "Medical Problems 2," I'd love to hear what you like about it!  You can send comments to medicalproblemsquiz "at" gmail "dot" com or leave comments in the "Medical Problems 2" thread at the Witcher Nexus.


Installation for Windows 7:

1.  A Windows 7 user told me that when she finally found the right folder for her Witcher adventures, the Address bar of Windows Explorer read  C: Users Public Public Documents The Witcher.

The only operating systems I have are Windows 8 and Windows XP; I've taken the installation instructions for Vista from the Adventures Installation Manual on the official Witcher website.  That manual doesn't include installation instructions for Windows 7, but if the file path listed above doesn't help you, there IS help for Windows 7 stuff in the In-Game Tech section of the official Witcher forum.  

It should be easy to figure out where to put your game files, though -- just find
m1_module.adv (try using the Search function) and put the all-in-one version of  medical_probs.adv wherever that is.  If you find more than one copy of  m1_module.adv -- which will happen if you're using Steam under Windows -- then put the adventure file in the directory under Public Documents, NOT the directory under Steam in Program Files.

2.  The first time you start the game, go to the Options panel, to the Game Options tab and make sure that the "Subtitles" option is checked.

3.  If the language in which you play The Witcher is not already set to English, please set it to English before starting up the adventure, or you'll get a bizarre error message.

4.  Unless you know that The Witcher's autosave doesn't work properly for you (this is true for some people), I recommend that you turn autosave on.

Installation for Windows XP

1.  Copy the ADV file to the Shared Documents\The Witcher folder.  The easiest way to find this is in My Computer.  You should see a m1_module.adv file already in this folder.  If not, it's probably in the wrong folder, unless you know that you've removed "The Price of Neutrality."  If you can't find it, open up Windows Explorer and put C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\The Witcher in the Address bar at the top.

2.  The first time you start the game, go to the Options panel, to the Game Options tab and make sure that the "Subtitles" option is checked.

3.  If the language in which you play The Witcher is not already set to English, please set it to English before starting up the adventure, or you'll get a bizarre error message.

Installation for Steam on Windows

Follow the instructions for whichever Windows operating system you have.  The Steam edition of The Witcher looks for the adventure files in the same place as any other edition of The Witcher ... when you're using Steam on Windows.

Mod files go in a different place if you're playing The Witcher under Steam on Windows, but adventure files go in the same place as any installation of The Witcher on Windows.  And no matter which installation of The Witcher you're playing, mod files and adventure files go in very different places, so please don't try to put your adventure files in the same folder as your mod files! 

There will be a folder in your Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher Enhanced Edition\The Witcher with all of the adventures in it, but the game doesn't actually fetch the adventure from there!  That folder is only eating up space on your hard drive, because the game actually USES the adventures that are in the Public Documents folder.  (I'm told that things are different when playing The Witcher via Steam on a Mac.)




Installation for Steam on the Mac

1.  Put the .adv file into
/Users/<your user>/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/the witcher enhanced edition/The Witcher.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/users/Public/Documents/The Witcher/

(Unless you moved your Witcher installation to another place, in which case, put it in
The Witcher.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/users/Public/Documents/The Witcher/)

2.  The first time you start the game, go to the Options panel, to the Game Options tab and make sure that the "Subtitles" option is checked.

3.   If the language in which you play The Witcher is not already set to English, please set it to English before starting up the adventure, or you'll get a bizarre error message.

4.  Unless you know that The Witcher's autosave doesn't work properly for you (this is true for some people), I recommend that you turn autosave on.  (The Witcher has a tendency to crash when loading large areas, and I make sure my adventure autosaves right before I load large areas, so if The Witcher crashes on you, you won't have lost anything.)

 I don't have a Mac, so someone who did told me where to put things on the Mac; thanks to her for that information!
