I thought the day 1 patch increased visual fidelity from what i read on other forums? The patch notes mentions nothing about any kind of increase in gfx.
I am afraid that's all we're getting in the first patch...
Personally, I am not a fan of very general patch notes (e.g. "multiple stability fixes" and "overall performance improvements", etc.) and would like to see more detail in the following ones, but if the Day 1 patch really does touch upon all those points I would still be glad.
As for the increased visual fidelity, we as PC gamers will have to step in and do our tweaking, at least until the Enhanced Edition comes up! *hint, hint CDProjekt RED!*

Scratch that, guys, it seems the
Day 1 patch does indeed bring with it enhanced visual fidelity on PC!
Check out the comparison images here:

Performance without Hairworks seems to be very good, as well!
This is actually my first time using SweetFX haha, and especially for this game, its nice to see such a detailed guide on this matter : )
I was wondering however, if you can clarify this one concern of mine when adjusting the parameters for the game? I'm not too familiar with the sensitivity of the parameters and how much it would change per setting - does the program allow some sort of side by side comparison? Or will I need to load the game everytime I make new adjustments?
Thanks for the hard work!
I'm very glad you find it to your liking, Calvin! That being said, I'm sure I can improve upon it and the rest of the OP in the following days.
Since SweetFX has dozens of toggleable effects, each with dozens of its own tweakable parameters with no easy side-by-side comparison, it can be quite a bit daunting to make your own preset from scratch, especially if you've never used SweetFX before. However, don't panic as all is not lost!
My advice to you would be to keep an eye on the
Witcher 3 SweetFX database webpage (also linked in the OP). It is there that people will upload their working SweetFX presets,
complete with ON/OFF comparison images, so after you've had a look at all the presets and settled on a favourite, just click "
Download Preset" on its individual webpage and then follow my guide in the OP.
Should you encounter
any problems at all running it, just let me know here and we will sort them out together, ok?
Can anyone here tell me how the save import works if u have the steam version of the wicher 2 and 3 ?
According to the
PC manual, all save files meant to be imported into
Witcher 3 must be stored at the following address, regardless of the version of
Witcher 2 that you were playing (e.g. Steam, GOG, Origin, etc.):
%SystemDrive%\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Witcher 2\gamesaves
If you don't have these specific folders yourself, just create them from scratch and dump the
Witcher 2 .sav files that you want to import to
Witcher 3 in the "
gamesaves" folder!
