Well one change I have noticed is that Superior Thunderbolt no longer guarantees a critical hit. This has an effect on mutagens that do additional damage for criticals.

I am playing it on Deathmarch which supposedly they have tweaked. One thing that they have not fixed that I am still aggravated about is the Axii glitch in which mind controlled enemies will not attack other enemies and Geralt acts like they're friend.

How do I switch to the new row of consumables and actually use them? I have them equipped.

pressimg the down button will activate the respective potion. Holding it will switch it.

 

[tbd]

It's a definite improvement but still looks pretty janky to me :/

That's the absolute worst case scenario, swamps + bad weather with wind going crazy, enemies and it's still 28 on average. You'll probably never even visit this place with those weather conditions or just meditate them away because the game is more beautiful with good weather anyway.

I'm not sure if people are actually just trolling at this point.

 

[ppor]

Ugh.. does the "compare equipped items" button bug out when shopping at merchants? I can compare crap like saddles, but comparing swords and armor no longer works.

Having lots of graphical artifacting on the PC now. Textures being warped all across the screen, NPCs appearing and disappearing next to me (sometimes only partially, like their clothes stay but the bodies disappear). It's a shitshow.

Have you verified your game? I had a simiar problem with 1.07 (GOG) and it helped.

Haven't seen that in my end. Seems ti have fixed the graphical oddities from previous versions.

Man after playing mgs5 for almost 100 hours and now playing uncharted remaster and battlefront beta I can't go back to 30 fps lol. But I did platinum this game with over 300+ hours played so I will definitely get both the expansion and platinum those too.

 

[SavageCobra]

So the Novigrad bottle merchant that paid full price for everything no longer pays that high. Damn.

 

[SamastahSukhino]

I can't start this game on gog. It's been like this for months. I click play and it does nothing. I deleted the game and gog galaxy , reinstalled everything and same shit. I am on windows 10 if that helps. I'll give an internet high five to whomever can help me out.

Install some visual sudios (2010, 2012) for C++ binaries (they differ) and try to run .exe straight from your folder with administrator privileges. Hope that'll help

That's so true. It's really difficult perceive improvement after 60 fps experience. The whole game seems an huge slowdown at 30 fps.

 

[Acheteedo]

Am I going crazy or did patch 1.10 introduce massive amount of judder on the PS4 version? It's constant, and doesn't seem to depend on anything happening in the game at the time, it's kind of ruining my experience

 

[~Kinggi~]

For some reason using fullscreen mode this game doesnt stop the windows 7 screen saver from loading. Really annoying cause i need the screen saver for my TV not to get burned out so i constantly have to disable it before i play witcher.

 

[CrichtonKicks]

Yup, I'm on Windows 10 too and it's much smoother.

I haven't had any significant issues with win10 yet, and the difference in TW3 is super awesome.

Thanks for the recommendation! Upgraded to Windows 10 last night and Witcher 3 has been smooth as butter ever since. Pretty much flawless 60 fps with no random hitches even in Novigrad.

did you want to try creating a new manual save and then deleting all the older saves, including autosaves?

 

[cripterion]

That's so true. It's really difficult perceive improvement after 60 fps experience. The whole game seems an huge slowdown at 30 fps.

That's what I've been saying all along for Destiny, it's even worse for an FPS. Everytime I go back to playing on my pc and then switch back to do some Destiny, I feel the game is broken cause it's so slow, feels like a slideshow.
Thankfully the effect disappears after a few hours of play but I can't believe they're not making 60fps priority on consoles for this gen.

 

[cripterion]

Yes, but if you've already downloaded 17GB like a champ, what's 600MB more?

Wasn't complaining hehe, just hadn't noticed it

So this is their final big patch for the game? Well at least before the other DLC's out?

EDIT : sorry for double post.

 

[Acheteedo]

Have you heard that this can help? Any other remedies to try? My inventory is humongous, maybe if I sold my books and herbs for instance?

 

[Truant]

I stopped playing after I reached Novigrad. Love the game, but it was just too much. I guess the last couple of patches made some pretty big improvements?

 

[CyberPunked]

So HUD toggle isn't actually in the game?

This would be very useful.

Bullshit argument on your part. Bethesda has been putting out games that sell like crazy and are loved and played for hundreds of hours by tons of people and they get lots of criticism and rightly so when a release is a technical mess.
But when cdproject releases a game that is a buggy mess especially on the significantly more powerful console, people form lines miles long to defend them and protect them from any criticism like cdproject is their child or something.
Just a reminder Bethesda caught hell when Skyrim was released on ps3 (a more complex console to dev for than the 360) with a framerate that dipped to single digits.
Cdproject released a game that ran significantly worse on a console that is both significantly more powerful AND easier to dev for than its competition and people practically fall all over each other in a rush to defend them.

Agreed, beyond the shoddy remasters this gen, I put Witcher 3 as the worse technical mess this gen, even worse than Unity on consoles. If framerate was the only problem with this game, but it's not. Even then, the new patched framerate is still not a solid 30fps and yet the awful shadows, below low presets and awful load times remain.

 

[Acheteedo]

Have tried a few things now:

1. Emptied a load of space on my hard drive.
2. Deleted all saves other than one.
3. Emptied my alchemy and books inventory.

Between each I restarted the PS4 and there was no difference.

I also tried starting a new game on a new profile, which resulted in a completely smoothly running game. This at least shows I'm not going crazy or just can't "unsee" something that's been there the whole the time. It's definitely a new problem, and it's so pronounced I don't think I can keep playing while it's there... can't describe how disappointing this is

This actually worked. Been playing problem-free ever since!

Thanks for the suggestion, gave it a go but sadly no joy.

Yeah, just loaded back into my save and its graphically very glitchy. I was in Novigrad and one NPC to the left was stuck in the ground up to his knees and another one was floating in midair. Textures aren't loading properly even when they're pretty close. Frame rate drops at first, though it disappeared after a few seconds.

Looks like they'll need several more patches to fix this patch.

I also don't understand why this patch had to be 17 gigs. That's almost the size of the entire game.

Also, Gog Galaxy sucks so bad. Updates keep failing because of a server problem. The patch finally started downloading after failing loads of times, but then I had to redownload all the DLC and that kept failing too. So eventually I just downloaded and installed it manually, but now Gog Galaxy still thinks it needs to update something and it keeps failing and I can't start the game from there, so I have to run it from the executable.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Had the best glitch: was circling some island on my boat when a herd of horses spawned in the sky above the ocean. I think they were supposed to be sirens, but they ended up being black horses. When I got near them they started running and fell straight into the ocean.

 

[CHC]

Anyone with PC issues should definitely

A) verify the game files via Steam or GOG

B) if that doesn't work just back up your saves and reinstall the whole thing

Something is weird with the file order sometimes, and even more likely to be the case if you have any mods installed or did game file tweaks.

 

[dgrdsv]

I had to delete my old user.settings and reconfigure the game from scratch to get 1.10 working properly after 1.08. Anyone with issues may want to try this first instead of redownloading the whole game.

Check the above posts. Verifying his game fixed his issues so maybe try that?

I get the same server problem when I try to verify as when it tries to update stuff. Gog Galaxy really is awful. It can take days before it works again.

Hopefully it will come right eventually.

Its still in beta for a reason. I'd uninstall it and just run the game without any middleman software.

For me personally, it runs better.

Less hitches, slowdown in various places.

Try renaming your Witcher 3 folder to something else and then telling it to uninstall Witcher 3 via Galaxy. Then rename your Witcher folder back to what you had it originally and then tell Galaxy to install in that location. It should recognize that you already have all of the files and will update the Galaxy installation without needing to download anything new.

Make sure that your Galaxy download directory is another drive. That way you only need room for the base game on the SSD. The patch replaced a lot of files so the final install isn't 16 GB over the previous install.

Menus on Ps4 are completely broken, it lags so much on the World map i dont even know what kind of engine they use because its beyond terrible on Ps4, coming from MGS V and Uncharted Collection or Batman to this is being hard, really hard but gotta play that DLC for sure.

Not sure how the Pc version or Xbox are after this update, the menus are broken that is for sure it breaks and lags and the game now freezes for a second or so and goes back to normal but this is very rare.

This game seems really REALLY like a rushed job, they put it on the market with a engine that does not run well on Ps4 and they try to patch it but when they fix something they broke other.

Menus are flash objects. Probably that's why they lag on PS4. That being said the game itself should be much smoother after 1.10 on Playstation
