Just downloaded/installed a clean game, no mod, all through official download server. First launch gave me "Script compilation error - game/quests/quest_functions.ws[2282]:parse error, near '{' game/scene_functions.ws[1794]:parse error, near '{'"

Google and lots of the provided link download patch is dead, and some complicated procedures require download a modding program.

I just want to play the official version of the game, no modding required. Anyone can provide a easy solution? Otherwise, have no choice but to request a refund for unplayable experience.

Go to <Install path>\The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition\bin\ and run the 'configurator.exe' file. Set up your settings. In particular press the 'DLC Settings' button and disable everything. Try running the game again.

Did exactly the recommended, disable all DLC settings, still the same error. -_-'

*EDIT2*
I had the exact same problem.
Replacing "base_scripts.dzip" file in *Your Install Location*/The Witcher 2/CookedPC folder with edited one fixed it.
Because a lot of google searches downloads for this file is dead, I'm providing a working download link for easy access to jeggy786 and all others who'll end up reading this.

Here:
firestorage.com/download/d70e4871d526d60310792452026740069e53969e
Download password is: TW2

Or here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1swq7N6aYPotsPkaDWkLZ6RmM84SVPOjK/view

Both downloads will get you "base_scripts.dzip".

Provided two pictures show what has been changed in "base_scripts.dzip" to make it work.

jeggy786: thanks, but it requires a password
If you have no mods and a legitimate game you *do not* need to replace base_scripts.dzip. Plus, if it requires a password it's probably malware. Do not download spurious files from anonymous sources.

Arethien: Don't worry abut this file download, it is perfectly safe.
Famous last words.

It seems Hickory doesn't know what he is talking about. Accusing us of having pirated version of a game or mods, when we don't!
I never accused anybody of anything. It's you who's throwing accusations about because your post was questioned.

Arethien: You assumed we have either not a legitimate version or mods installed, when we both have a fresh install.
I assumed nothing. I merely stated that a clean install with no mods and a legitimate game does not need base scripts replaced. It is that simple.

Arethien: So you stated that a fresh legitimate install does not need "base_scripts.dzip"
Correction: does not need third-party base_scripts.dzip downloaded from wherever. The file that comes with the installer is the correct file.

replaced and jeggy786 stated that he has a fresh legitimate install.
His statement has nothing to do with my comment.

Call it what you will. Your solution didn't fix it, replacing the file did.
Funny, I don't recall jeggy786 stating that.

I had exactly the same situation as jeggy786. Came here searching for some other solution, but found that evasive file which jeggy786 was also looking for and provided a working download link so he too can enjoy his game.
Again. funny that, because I don't see anywhere where jeggy786 said he/she was looking for that file.

This game has sold untold millions of copies (8 million in 2014). I wonder if all that multitude needed to download your file!? *shakes head*

Stop. Just stop.
