Yes, the negative mipmap bias has done wonders for the finer foliage textures over distance.

Texture rendering improved!?!?
Ah can't wait to get home and play some more, is it a noticeable difference at all?
Edit: Ah just saw the above post, HELL YES. CD Projekt Reds support for this game on PC has already been phenomenal

Aight, found an old save and old screenshot and lined them up.
1.03 mipmap on left. 1.04 mipmap on right.
What is the performance cost? Looks much better
But why do they always wait until the game is done to try and fix it...didnt they notice it was too small during the whole game development...why dont testers mention hey guys,text is too small...I am talking in general,all developpers do this and never fix it...been there since Dead Rising on the 360 and that was only 720P...must be real hard indeed.

Oh yeah, looks like the construction-paper-foliage issue is not much of an issue anymore.

Looks amazing, looks like by the time I get around to it, it'll be closer to what people were hoping for out of the PC version

The Enhanced Edition is going to be amazing if they continue improving it like that.

Aw only enLarge text for looting? Need to enlarge it for everything really? Also I hope this patch stops the game from getting black screens and forcing me to hard reset

Im super impressed that not only have CD Projekt Red been patching to improve bug fixes and such but are also making real attempts to improve the graphics
Fantastic, best developer out there imo
Can't wait to test if I can get 60 fps on high with Hairworks on a 970 after turning HW AA down/off now.
Now if they only fix the ponytail clipping through the Ursine Armor's scarf and I can die happy. It's the only downside of this set.
EDIT:
Also this, so much. The fall damage is ridiculous, more so if you consider that Roach is apparently immune to gravity.

I do not think you meant to quote me....
Press Space while loading to skip.
Press Jump while falling to roll.
It's not that hard.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Will that texture update make it console-side?

Even with the saving roll, doesn't change the fact the damage you take when falling is ridiculous. Dying from jumping a bit higher than waist height ? C'mon son.
When you play, you just shouldn't have to worry about fall damage except in certain extreme conditions. You worry all the time, kinda breaks the whole Witcher ultimate bad ass immersion a bit. And it's just annoying.

I do agree with ypu, im constantly worried about falling when im somewhere even slightly above ground level

As expected the negative mipmap bias improves texture clarity across the board. Detail on everything can be seen clearer, further.
You know, major rant here but the thing that has been pissing me off for years is that almost all AAA devs had disabled the ENTER key from being re-binded on pc games and i need that option and of course i was severely upset that once again GOG had the ENTER key used as a game menu until today. Thank you GOG for actually caring about left handed gamers and letting pc gamers reconfig any of the keys they see fit.
What are your system specs? What resolution/frame rate are you running at?
I'm currently at max settings 1080/60, but considering halving the frames to up the visuals more.

My god man, if they keep improving the graphics like this after a couple more patches it will be unreal.

fuck yeah
Nope. I was on a cell phone. I don't know how that happened.
Put it out in English first then worry about the rest later.

Playing on Death March on PS4 means that you see long loading times often, as dying is relatively common if you get surrounded by enemies.

I don't think CDPR gives a sh*t about consoles now, unfortunately. They made the game for PS4/XONE, got their money, and that's it.
The game is HORRIBLE in PS4, and there is no sign of an update, we're still on 1.01.

You know you could skip that after its done loading, which takes like 3-4 seconds for me. Just mash on your controller's X button or Space I believe on the keyboard.
Looking at your pics EatChildren, the improvememts are looking really nice and visible eventhough I am just viewing them on my phone.
Yep, tried to give it a shot on PS4 and had to go back to PC. Will probably trade it in soon.
still no AA fix, I really wish they change their awful AA solution.
Witcher sense "effect" need to go, just give us the yellow and red without the making Geralt a drunk fish.
anyway, textures seems sharper now ( but why it rest the texture quality to low after the patch? it's not a big deal, but if some people don't notice they'll most likely play with ugly textures for the rest of the game)

It's pretty great. Can't wait to get home tonight and dive back in. Stupid holiday weekend with friends and family wanting to hang out. I have Witcher 3 to play, people!

Agreed 100%. If there's one graphics improvement left I would love to see its the addition of high quality tessellation. If they added that it would take this already gorgeous game to the next level
Of course you are on 1.01. The game has been out less than a week. You realize consoles have certification process that PC doesn't right? It will ALWAYS take console players longer to get patches
Really?
CDPR has been nothing but good to it's customers. Why would they care what they're gaming on?

The tree height relative to the character is extremely jarring :l
As someone who isn't playing in English, I agree with this.

The game has been out for a week. Patches for consoles need to go through the console maker (Sony, Microsoft) first. They need to check it and push it to their networks. That stuff always takes some days. And the certification team doesn't work in the weekend probably.
Be a little reasonable with patch times man.

You don't play on PS4, do you?
After you leave White Orchard, the game gets worse than AC Unity.
I do play on ps4 i'm in Skellige right now, and i think it looks quite good despite some flaws. My pc can't even approach the same quality right now.

Console cert time is notoriously long. No need to make assumptions without knowing the whole process.
Edit: ClosingADoor gets it!

Are you joking now? it's a short tree.
Impressive visual upgrade I must say. looks night and day in comparison shot
You're joking, right? I've played well over 20 hours on PS4 and the only issues I've had woth performance are in the bog and during storms. We already know there's a patch in cert, it's probably just getting held up because of the the holiday weekend in the US.
