The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

It really sucks that non-pc owners have to deal with a capped 20 fps in some areas because of vsync.

[KAC]

Well that sucks ass then. I was really hoping to continue playing on the PS4. Lesson learnt.

[bittermann]

Stop having a period.

Still waiting for the Win 10 rtm build to reload....bllaahhh

Yeah I'm surprised they are using double buffering and not triple.

Looks like the patch killed the galaxy client, it can't handle the pressure.

Can confirm.

[Thr0tt]

Can't connect, just got home after fête, in a positive note though we won a plastic hammer for £2.50 ...

steam showing a 5.1gb update

was playing some black flag, but will have to switch to w3 soon

[Brainstew]

Yeah, I can't get the patch on the GOG client. Is there another way to do it?

[Mangler]

Download it directly from gog.com.

[Dungeoncrawler]

took me 7 hours for the patch on ps4 - only 12 minutes on via steam . starting the game now.

There are some new hairworks options:



My guess would be that the presets controls the level of tessellation.

[Dungeoncrawler]

reset all my options to default

[Brainstew]

Looks like the 1.07 patch made the game run worse on both of the non-pc platforms.

At least according to digital foundry.

The master race wins again.

[Mangler]

The new movement still has some sluggishness left, but it is much more responsive than it used to be.

[Brainstew]

I'd say the new controls are less realistic, but more in line with how we expect a video game character to control.

nice to see

what's with the part 1 of 2? When i try to download it, it tells me to insert disk? On Gog?

When i download part 2, it gives an error on VLC?? Something about a uni decoder?

[SirBaron]

Just to add fire to the "situation" the patch has been on steam servers for 3 days, no changes, they just kept it in limbo.

I downloaded both parts, then ran part 1 which was an exe and that was it.

It's funny that even with free patch that adds new features people still find something to complain about. CDPR clearly had their reasons for not releasing the patch right away, who the hell cares what they were?

[SirBaron]

I'm not complaining just stating, at least we get patches. (thinks about other games)

[Crawdaddy79]

Hopefully they learn from this that the time to release a patch is a time that is not when 90% of the world is not at work.

[Dungeoncrawler]

anyone getting a "matchcount" error? the game still launches but that error pops-up every time now.

@ patches being free.

nice to see books register whether they've been read or not.

update - the error i was getting upon launch was due to an out-of-date mod i have installed.

[SD-[Inc]]

Crap. I took me hours to get my settings tuned to maximize image quality/performance on my PC and the patch just erased all that work

Plus, it looks like GeForce Experience can't even read my in game settings any more...

Oh well

Well developers are not under any requirement to patch games. They do because they want to have return customers with their next games but not out of the kindness of their heart.

[Brainstew]

I played the entire time at 30fps with hairworks on, I'm starting to wonder if 60fps with hairworks off is more worth it.

Edit:

Actually adjusting the hairworks AA lets me have 50-60fps with hairworks turned on!

[Crawdaddy79]

Damn... This patch has done an amazing job at optimization. I'd wager my framerates are doubled... from an average 20 to average 40. To the best of my knowledge, I reset all settings to the same they were before the patch.

Alternate movement seems more unwieldy to me... I'm using keyboard/mouse. I prefer the original movement scheme.

Thought I'd lose more weight with the crafting materials being set to zero... looks like everything weighed maybe 15 pounds.

[KAC]

New patch didn't change performance on my favorite platform. The inventory is much better. The weight change was like 2 kg lol. However, I have a saddlebag now and am pumping 90 kg with me. Reached level 8 and completed witches of the wood. Now going after bloody baron.

New movement did nothing for me.

[dreamwalker]

New movement is fantastic. Feels much tighter overall, Geralt doesn't stumble around now.

One of the best patches I've seen for a game in a long time. CDPR's are still showcasing that they give the best post release support of any developer on the planet. Their taking what was already one of the best games I've ever played and are making it better.

My favorites:

• Much better movement controls.
• Books have their own inventory tab.
• It shows when you've read a book.
• Alchemy ingredients are weightless.
• Storage chest!!!!
• On the world map you can now jump between your current location and the quest marker. This was something I really wanted, but didn't expect them to add.
• Performance increase and no more stuttering.

[nutcrackr]

Sounds like the patch is too good, they might need to nerf it

Well if you read the rest of the internet you'll just see endless versions of "I can't believe they still haven't fixed <enter complaint here>!!!!"

Apparently most gamers expect every bug to be fixed at the same time. Personally I'd rather focus on the positive and point out what a great patch this is.

Common sense things which should've been there in the first place

Best post release support is Egosoft.

[Crawdaddy79]

Common sense things which should've been there in the first place

Agreed. With most of the list...

[Danny Nissan]

Think I'll uninstall gog galaxy - its just not working for me. Applying the patches/DLCs manually works..

I'll stick to steam versions next time <.<

[Brainstew]

Best post release support is Egosoft.

And things that they had absolutely no obligation to spend extra development time adding since the game is already released and is excellent without those common sense things. These aren't bugs, they are added features. You've been gaming long enough that you should know how often games miss common sense things, but they never get addressed.

Hmm is it just me or did the new patch break AA. It seems to be off even though it is enabled. 980 Ti.

Looks like that to me, the game is performing a lot better with hairworks now so I think its broken.

As for the new controls, man they feel so much better. The game is actually fun to play now.

[KAC]

Man this game is just too good. I am still an errand boy like any other game but at least this time the decisions matter. I still resent killing a fricking tree after more than 8 hours. That is not normal for me :S.
