[//ARCANUM]

This has got me excited to jump back in. I've been distracted by my shiny new PS4 and Batman lol.

 

[etta]

Why not link to the thread with the full changelog (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1078112), and not the partial one? (yeah I made that thread, but whatever).

Or just the official link.

URL in the OP seems to be broken on the desktop version, too.

Sorry guys, I am still out and all I have is a tiny iPhone. Will update ASAP.

 

[BjornTheBear]

So we had to wait for the slowpoke console certs and we're still dead last on PC?

Awesome =/

Seems like the consoles aren't the slowpoke ones...

 

[epmode]

Seems like the consoles aren't the slowpoke ones...

There's no chance that this is true. Console certification takes days. Days just sitting around, not making changes to the code. A Steam patch can be live in under an hour. I assume GOG Galaxy is similar.

The first few PC patches were out like weeks before the console ones. If console certs aren't the reason this patch is so late I'd like to know what was.

 

[Radec]

No parity confirmed.

PC is actually late. lol

 

[Sober]

Ah, so alt movement is just more responsive vs the standard which has momentum and inertia and all that?

Certification is much longer on PC than consoles. It has to go through Microsoft, Valve, Asus, Gigabyte, Asrock, MSI, Nvidia, AMD etc.

It's always the same with PC. You have to update every day, wait forever to get patches because of all different vendors and change settings in games for hours and hours. All that and it still costs $2000. Ridiculous.

Yes

 

[Radec]

Someone in reddit mentioned Witcher gear level requirements changed.

Just a heads-up for all my fellow witchers! After installing 1.07, enhanced feline witcher gear now requires a level 23 character for both swords and armor versus a level 19 character for swords and a level 20 for armor. I'm currently level 20 and had the enhanced feline witcher gear equipped before installing the patch, so now if I remove my gear, I can no longer equip it until level 23. I've only seen this with the feline gear, but I'm assuming all of the witcher gear now has higher level requirements (perhaps matching the treasure hunt quests).

 

[-Alligator-]

No parity confirmed.

I still don't understand why is it out on both consoles at the same time. I thought the certification process is longer on Xbox.

 

[Hedrush]

UK not up yet

Yes it is

 

[Qassim]

I still don't understand why is it out on both consoles at the same time. I thought the certification process is longer on Xbox.

It's likely they waited until both were certified and then pushed the button to publish both at the same time.

 

[J4g3r]

Yes it is

Nothing on UK PS4 for me yet, even after a reset :/

 

[Caja 117]

If I'm at work all day with my Xbox on instant on it should download automatically right?

if you have the xbox to DL updates Automatically, then yes.

 

[-Alligator-]

It's likely they waited until both were certified and then pushed the button to publish both at the same time.

Which would confirm that there was in fact patch parity...

 

[RedAssedApe]

A small clip of the alternative movement response.

i feel like i'm getting trolled. alternative movement shouldn't affect the sword swinging animations and i see no actual walking or running here...

 

[Hedrush]

Well I'm in the UK and I started the download 10 minutes ago via remote play.

I'm not super familiar with the cert process on any platform but this sounds incorrect, at one point we were like 2 or 3 patches ahead of the console versions.

 

[v0mitg0d]

Ok guys, per your request I made video showing the new movement (in combat and out), Stash locations, Inventory sorting, Alchemy pinning & more in The Witcher 3 (1.07):

Goto the game tile, press options then check for update.

 

[Brandon F]

SADLY THE CLAYWITCH MERCHANT GLITCH IS STILL BROKEN IN 1.07(no key drops for cage). GWENT CARD COLLECTORS, OUR LONG WAIT FOR A FIX CONTINUES...

Fuck.

The new movement is a massive improvement. Essentially it removes the irritating momentum that Geralt had with each minor shift or direction change causing him to slide about on his shoelaces. Much more direct and responsive, though the weird analog stick quirk still exists which occasionally has him moving in random directions even at neutral stick position.

I think your sarcasm detector also needs a patch or two

Ah, I guess it does.

No it doesn't.

Good bait tho.

That's generally the first thing I do, PSN must be updating in waves.

 

[DrM]

Nothing here... put my PS4 into rest mode

 

[erawsd]

What? No it wasnt. PC was only ahead because the release version was 1.02 instead of 1.01 as it was on console. The console patches were never that far behind either. Theres been the same amount of patches for each, with this one they skipped 1.06 on console so that all platforms are on the same version number.

 

[Santiako]

Still nothing. It seems t be up only for some people.

Console didn't have inventory sorting until now tho.

Yes yes yes, looks good. Need it in my veins

 

[Hedrush]

Yeah maybe. I'm up in Scotland and when I saw the thread I immediately grabbed my vita to get it via remote play and as soon as it connected the download started automatically.

I appreciate what they were trying to accomplish with the momentum but it was overkill. Sometimes just trying to get on Roach or talk to a vendor involved running past them 2 or 3 times

 

[mcfrank]

Frame rate is better but not great

 

[Thyralax]

if you have the xbox to DL updates Automatically, then yes.

I believe so, but I guess I'll find out tonight lol

 

[GameAddict411]

how is the performance on the ps4 version so far?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Yeah dude it sucks, I downloaded a patch for The Witcher 3 that wasn't certified for my monitor and it broke my PC, so I have to send the whole CPU and MONITOR back to Alienware, ridiculous.

 

[Fuz]

Yes

Does Geralt still turns like an horse?

 

[xxracerxx]

No.

Are the baby noises part of the new patch or separate DLC?

 

[Zemm]

Good to see the PSN monkey has found a new job at CDPR pushing the 'update PC' button.

[El Jaffe]

Woof I checked my ps4 downloads after almost 2hrs and it's only 789mb and says it'll be another 17hrs. That is not normal for me. It would normally be like an hr. Or less for a 10gb game.

Try pausing then unpausing the DL.

There is really no excuse. Patches on consoles need to go through a long pain in the ass process of approval. Meanwhile PC doesn't, especially not on GOG which is owned by CD Projekt.

 

[takriel]

fuck you sony and your lame ass servers

 

[hitgirl]

Hah, PC is late. Why have you foresaken me. Wouldn't have expected this..

 

[d00d3n]

It seems like all my time these days is spent in threads like these awaiting patches that never come (PC). Maybe I am depressed. Or is the world just an inhumane and cold place?

 

[Projectjustice]

Yes we were. Its pretty ridiculous we have to wait a whole day to get 1.07.
