Didn't they delay the game specifically to get it "right"?

Becomes baffled, curling up into a ball when confronted with three controller options.
Unfortunately I have decided to put the game down until the XP issue is fixed, because theres no point in me completing quests if I'm essentially going to be stuck at my current level.
With that said, this patch should be out by the end of the week on PS4, correct?

I just wish they did something about the swimming controls. It's so damn awful. Also hope that the UI fixes are related to navigating things like shops where there's unnecessary dialogs to select crafting or shop (which can be just selected from the current open menu) and not being able to exit shop conversations with just punching circle several times.
Considering they've been working on the game for years I find it odd that there are so many obviously clunky design choices in an otherwise excellent game.

Improved camera smoothness and PS4 framerate issues being looked at. Thank God. Hopefully the patch for improved framerate isn't too far away.

What time is it?
I could be wrong on what causes it but I never had it happen before reaching the 3rd area of the game. Reloading is the only way I've found to fix it as well. It wouldn't be a huge deal if the load times weren't so dreadful.

These are two things that really bug me. Geralt is weaker than Brody in FC3 when it comes to fall damage and Roach randomly stops whenever she feels like it.
There comes a time where you have to release the game, so as long as there's no major (IE universal) problem, you release the game and fix any bugs that pop up post release.

Dirty Funds still needs fixed.
Hopefully, "General stability and performance improvements" include the insane amount of pop-in I've been noticing since 1.03 dropped. Also, the absurd fall damage you receive probably should be addressed at some point as well. Seriously, it's like Geralt's leg bones are made of gelatinous goo or something.

Got the same feeling. The more I progress, the more 'bugs' I seem to notice. Guess it'll take a very long time to fix all problems. Me myself would be quite happy with a steady framerate, less pop-in and better controls....After spending quite some time with the game ( PS4 ) I still don't feel I have proper control of Geralt when in a fight or even just walking around. Controls are way too sensitive.
Nevertheless, love the game. The atmosphere is just fantastic.

I wonder at what point should I really get into this.... I really like this game, just small things get to me and this patch seems to fix a really big one.. They really are supporting this game post launch really well.
-Roach's common tendency to stop/slow down randomly making him a chore to use
In what way are you steering while the horse is galloping? I found that if I was only pressing the left stick to the left and right and not up as well, he would stop a lot more often, as if the game was detecting a micro-movement *down* with the stick, and he would stop. When I continuously hold up on the left stick while steering, he almost never stops except when you expect running into stuff. Might be worth a try if you aren't doing that already.

I really hope they roll the option for console text size into the PC version in the inevitable 1.06 patch.
Wait, what so bad about the swimming controls? I play with M+K on PC and I have no complains whatsoever about them - find them pretty much perfect so I don't understand these complains about them

I understand bugs and glitches pop-up but CD is usually honest and they delayed because they wanted to make it the best they good get, some of those bugs and glitches though seem like they would be obvious but I'm just a simple man.

Hopefully this is a setting. I hate large HUDs.

It's mostly controller that is bad really when diving.
Every other change pales in comparison to how much this will affect me
Having to walk around objects to get the perfect angle to interact with them was the worst
What? You have to open doors on console? In the PC version you walk into them and Geralt pushes them open himself
I would but I'll probably lose track of time enjoying the hell out of the game, sorry.
The fact that such a massive game was released as it was is a minor miracle. CDPR did fine.

In case devs read this thread
Please add a Screen shot feature - F12 is the one Steam uses for all games

The game was released in a great state. It's not perfect by any means, and I don't think anyone is expecting it to be flawless out of the gate. User experience can vary significantly from each other, and a lot can go wrong when the game branches off the way this game does.

Nice. Loving the game a lot but sometimes I wish I would've waited just a few weeks before playing it. Ah well, it was fun to be there at launch with GAF.
And stop complaining about fall damage lol, man up.

Same. I hope there is an option.

Geralt will no longer swim like a drunk fuck
Yes, and those games were nowhere near the scope of this one.
Open world RPG's are usually way more broken than the witcher 3 is.
I struggle to think of one that released without singificant bugs.
Massive, open world RPGs are never released in a flawless state. Not in the last 20 years, anyway. TW3 was in great shape at release, comparatively.

Remember when they delayed this game to make it the best it could be and to not have a repeat of the last two with enhanced editions? Yeah, this time it's just patchwork instead...
Hopefully it'll be a polished experience by the time I pick it up. But I'd like to see that pop-in and those framedrops sorted on PS4 first.

It means exactly what it always meant. That the master disc has been created for retail mass production. The fact that it needs to be bug free was an inference made before the advent of the internet. That's not to suggest that games these days need not be bug free or stable, just saying "going gold" still means the same thing
