If it helps with micro stutter I'll be happy. Can you gauge how much improved it is? I know it might be hard to really put to words, I'm just dying to be rid of it so I can fully enjoy this killer game.

I just want a patch to fix the damn loading time,When I die it legit takes 1+ mins to load .. It's even longer than Bloodbornes.

Massive openworld game, 5400 RPM harddrive, Limited System RAM amount. Something has got to give.

I've been wondering if I need to keep them.. I have like 7 rows of books and contracts but was too scared to get rid of them.

That seems really wrong. Did the loading times get a lot longer as the game goes on? In Velen, loading times times seem like 20 seconds or less.
Yeah the reload is hilariously bad even if you saved in the same area the game apparently loads the whole map anew.

I put a 7200rpm SSHD in mine and even after death my loading times are under 30 seconds. May want to look at upgrading your hard drive, it's relatively cheap, real easy to do, and very much worth doing.

Depends what part of the game you're in, for eg in White Orchard the load times are like what you say, but in Valen they are twice as long.

I never sell books and such in RPGs. I like building an in-game lore collection, and I also don't read everything the moment I get it.
I don't think RAM is an issue. PS4 games have, what, 5.5 GB of GDDR5 to use? And having less wouldn't make load times longer anyway, rather the opposite (but you'd have to load more frequently instead, like how in Skyrim there's a load every time you enter an interior). No, this is all due to the HDD, and the transfer speed from it to RAM.

Is that the opening area? If so yeah that is quick load. The next world takes about 40-60 seconds to load when you die ._>

Things that are marked as quest items I read right away, but not every random book I loot. And I loot them all.

Do we know when we'll get those 14 other free DLC's? If it's really 1-2 items per week, the big majority of players will have already be done with the game.

White Orchard is the opening area or the 'prologue'. Valen is unlocked after you comeplete it and that's where the loading times lengthen a lot.
The game is still a stuttering mess from time to time - can't say I can notice any performance improvements with 1.3 I'm afraid. I'm currently doing (light early Velen quest spoilers)
. 
Keira's secondary missions and the area around her hut and the island with the rat tower at least seems to be terrible FPS wise (especially with the spirit lamp activated)

so played the game with the patch now, so it feels smoother sure, but some times its not really any better. I had an area that even made the music stutter and made the menu browsing slow and laggy..not had it since then though...so might have been a one time thing.
Game feels a lot smoother after the patch.
Lol you think the majority of players will play 100 hours in two months?
The whole point of the drip feed is to make people not sell their copies too.
Thats why the first expansion is also slated for October.

My experience too. The camera is definitely smoother as is moving but the micro stutter is still there. I have faith this can be fixed though.
turn your controller camera settings down to 0.70 , that will fix it. (or at least make the camera movement a lot smoother.) This works for the PS4 as well.

That didn't fix it for me (PS4), or make it any less noticeable. It does make the game feel better to play, though. Any higher and it feels like the camera is turning faster than Geralt can.
I've contacted Marcin Momot about the camera stutter few times now on Twitter but he hasn't responded to me. But he did say they're already working on patch 1.04.
Patch barely had an effect for me (PS4).
Has anyone noticed the annoying stutter/dropped frame when you're just walking on horseback? It happens at the same point in the animation every time and once you notice it you'll never stop noticing it. Happens whatever speed your horse is walking at.
Also happens absolutely everywhere so I don't think it's performance related.

Yup, I've posted multiple videos on the CDPR forums and tweeted the dev directly about this. A few people have posted videos of it in this thread to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL-K9UpXPPU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq35gvYg7XA
This is a bit more extreme than what I'm describing and does just look like bad performance.
Try walking really slowly, in a straight line, and watch the animation (and the edges of your screen, which emphasises it) closely.
You have a heart of gold, don't let them take it from you.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
These are the things that are driving me nuts. For whatever reason, the drops in fps during heavy load situations haven't really bothered me too much.
It's the frame stuttering while panning the camera and weird animation hitches that are grinding my gears. Because there's no good reason for it! It's all the time. At best it's an oversight, but at worst (and most probable, because who the fuck wouldn't notice this) they just said, eh... too much time to fix, ship it anyway. Maybe we get to it later, if ever.
I honestly love this game, even though it has issues, but there is some stuff here just leaves me scratching my head. It's not like some glitch that happens rarely, and really hard to replicate, and thus hard to fix. This is core stuff. Stuff you see over and over and over.
And I cannot make a Witcher 3 post without include how much I fuckin hate the auto camera. The only time that thing should kick in is during a sprint or fast gallop. I'm starting to wonder if some of the stuttering is actually linked to auto-center camera. Need to explore that more before I post about it though, and someone makes me look dumb. lol

Yupp, this is the stuttering that drives me crazy. The same thing happened in infamous as a result of the engine having issues streaming the world assets. Lots of people didn't notice it, but others that did couldn't deal. The devs even admitted it was a limitation of the engine and that they wouldn't be able to fix it until the next game. Hopefully that doesn't happen with CDPR.
Fucking finally!
That's funny. nib95 thinks the shadow LOD was improved instead. Can anyone provide screenshots or anything?

What about the Fake Papers quest? Has that been fixed with the patch?

But it's only onerously slow if you reload after dying. It's not nearly as bad if you fast travel, even though that takes you to a completely different area.

Some pretty bad stutter there on PS4. I might have to recheck DF but this seems to have been not reported very well. Forgetting that though just frame rates in general are much lower in later areas from many posts I'm reading on GAF that should be verified or not if DF can do some more frame rate analysis.

Thats a problem with the way the analog stick is mapped. Slow movements cause jerky camera rotation.
