Great update. Was hoping storage would come in the form of a house, but the bin is good. Just hope each bin allows access to all the items stored across all the bins. Def switching to the new movement mode right away. Can't be worse than this.
Damn shame about the quest fix having to be a thing. Already have been locked out of three quests, one of which was a story quest that I didn't even know about until I got a prompt saying I failed it, but loading up an earlier save wouldn't allow me to play it.
Still, there's a lot of good here. CD project, don't change. Now I just have to figure out how to uninstall that triss costume.

Hey Geralt just go down this ledge will you? Wait no! Don't just jump... well now you are just rolling down onto that cliff

Cool. Now, I hope they get rid of the vendor selling limit cap (ie - when I try to sell all my stuff and the vendor runs out of money to buy it from me). Because, it's really annoying and not fun. It's a game. No need for 100% reality.

Looks like it's time to jump back in soon.

I doubt they'll magically transport your stuff across the land (although that would be great!), but I guess fast travel will sort that.
If you're using GOG Galaxy, you can go to More > Configure and untick it. Apparently you can also disable it from the options in the main menu, but I haven't tried that.

I'm pretty sure they said that the console version will be 1.07 as well so that it's the same as PC from now on.
This is why I support them. They are the best studio out there right now and have been for years. The value you get for your money is unmatched and they treat the customer right.

it would be so awesome if games just launched finished
They're responding to consumer feedback with patches.
Do you want them to just not do that?
These are the general notes for all platforms and it mentions some technical improvements. There could be something.Still nothing about specific PS4 performance improvements

They would still change things. These are not additions they thought the game needed until the audience asked for them.

They're skipping 1.06 on PS4, next patch will be 1.07 on PC, PS4, & XB1.

the post says this is for all versions. iirc marcin said that this would sync up the version numbers.

Are they going to fix all the bugs and problems they introduced in the other patches? (speaking of ps4). I put the game on hold while I played other stuff like Batman. Pretty hard to play the game with all the issues now to be honest.
There's so much dumb in this game, and most of it was also in TW2. I can't believe it took several patches to change some of this stuff to be honest.

I'm glad I waited this long to start playing to be honest. Although I'm still gonna wait a little longer for the PS4 version's 20fps lock issue to be addressed.

The delay on New Game + is mind boggling. I've been holding out on a second playthrough waiting for one. Adventuring with low stat armor in a game like this makes no sense. You would think given his past adventures, Geralt would come in prepared.

There's no way that the sorting methods (especially in the "useable item" menu) or filtering options went unnoticed during their testing, or someone thought "yeah, this is fantastic" before it shipped.
NG+ doesn't make any sense at all in this game, and the only reason people keep yammering on and on about it is because so many other games started offering it. So a bunch of people act like it's a required feature or something. The only way it would make sense is if all of the enemies had stats that were jacked up compared to your first playthrough. Otherwise, just playing the game on easy makes it about the same for damage reduction. It's not like the combat is actually any good anyway.

This is certainly the first patch that will make me stop playing until it comes out.

in the first ones, but not after that (and it wasn't big enough after the patch imo)
See I knew this game would improve tremendously post launch. Both of the previous Witcher games did also. I waited til last week to choose my video card (a 980Ti) and install a new SSD (Sandisk Extreme Pro 480GB) so that I could really start playing The Witcher 3 and get the most enjoyment out of it.
It's been really hard but sometimes waiting a month or so post launch on these big RPG's makes a lot of sense for a variety of reasons. I've improved my hardware and CDPR has greatly improved the game in that same span of time.

Don't most WRPGs have this? I like it. Simply makes the player be more careful and adds importance to all the smaller villages with merchants. You can also give him money if you need anything he sells.
Honestly, the inventory and weight management was the least of my issues with the game.
They should fix the numerous spots on the map where if you fall in, that's it, it's game over. There's a few in the various marshes next to big bodies of water, with holes in the terrain that you cannot jump out of due to being filled with water and the edges too steep. You cannot walk out of them, can't slide, can't horse, can't even glitch out of, and the only thing you can do is reload or quit the game.
Teleporting enemies is also really annoying. You'll be in the middle of a fight when an enemy just disappears and reappears within a single frame on another part of the map. Easily reproducible with bilge hags and no, they are not going under the water like normal. They just instantly teleport with no animation. I think it's a bug with their submerging ability though I've seen it happen with wolves and bears too.
Good on them for fixing bugged quests though, that was getting annoying. Go here. Nothing happens, nothing triggers. Talk to <X>, they're not there. Finish quest, suddenly it's a completely different time of day a second later. Talk to person, they become a different NPC, have broken dialog, and then it places you in a random nearby location when the dialog ends and delete that new spawned NPC a few seconds later.
Hopefully the new movement system lets you move more freely in combat so you don't have to spam light dodge to get everywhere and stops you from sheathing a weapon automatically in the middle of a fight so you start attacking with fists unknowingly.
Game is really buggy sometimes.

Good patch. Too bad I'm done with the game for now. Not having storage and a decent inventory system from day one is a head scratcher for me.

Was hoping for more on that as well. Really excited about the other improvements though.

I don't see anything about it, but I hope they also fix the choppy music in the PS4 startup/menu screen! It's been that way for me since I started playing the game, and it makes booting up the game a whole lot less epic...

Curious about the optional movement, otherwise it sounds like a lot of common sense improvements that should have been there day one.

Can I install this directly from 1.05 without going to 1.06? Will I not get the improvements in 1.06 that way? How does this work?
