No idea, have yet to try, but I guess it's related to the movement controls. Maybe you can tone down the inertia, so you'll have more 'immediate' control over Geralt.
I noticed that Geralt can perform a tighter turn now while walking etc but I couldn't find ANY changes in the tutorial or controls besides the fact that they removed the mouse sensitivity setting lol (but your set sensitivity stays the same, 0.4 for me)
