The only explanation is that CDPR is incompetent, since the release of patch 1.03 the game has progressively gotten worse, especially in regards to technical issues. I wish there was the option to go back to version 1.02, but on consoles at least there is no recourse. I'm glad that I've stayed...

It's certainly possible, but there are a lot of potentially quest breaking bugs that could affect your playthrough. There is no harm in trying, since if you do encounter a bug that prevents you from progressing you can always patch it to the latest version.

Yes, I encountered the same bug regarding the 'Color-blind Friendly Witcher Senses' turning off when the application is closed. It is quite annoying to have to turn it back on every time I start the game.

I'm bumping this in the vain hope that a CDPR representative may see it and deign to respond. I still fail to understand why they're seemingly avoiding the issue given that it was introduced with a patch and therefore should be easy to rectify.

It has nothing to do with lack of optimisation since this issue was introduced in patch 1.03!

I've never had this issue before, not with any game as far as I'm aware (although it may have happened), but certainly not with The Witcher 3. I have a 7 year old 360 on the shelf below my PS4 which I use for a few of it's media functions and the PS4 is virtually silent in comparison. If my...

I agree, I've played about 5 hours with version 1.00; the day-one patch version (1.01/1.02) is unequivocally superior in terms of gameplay, performance and balance. I don't know who's asking to "bring back 1.00" though, since it's easy enough to reinstall the game and not patch it. The only...

I can confirm that the shadows have been downgraded. If you look to left of Geralt in the 1.04 image, you will see that the shrub shadows are still present, but only when close to the player. This is not something that is obvious until you're elevated like in the picture. As you approach the...

I'm going to keep bumping this occasionally until CDPR acknowledge the issue. I really would like to see this fixed and I don't think that's unreasonable considering it was introduced in a patch. If anyone notices CDPR mention this issue in another thread or on twitter etc. I would really...

In the past I too would have been willing to restart my the game if it meant I got to play with version 1.02. But I've been playing it a lot more over the past week. Yes it has issues and bugs (the missing NPC one irritates me especially), but I've been ignoring them and allowing myself to...

You realise that you'll be required to start the game over to play with patch 1.02? There are myriad reasons why they wouldn't re-release an older patch, but this is the primary one.

This is my primary issue with patch 1.03 onwards. Any other changes in the graphics are relatively trivial (if they even exist). But the lack of NPCs is something that greatly affects my immersion and I don't understand why CDPR have not only failed to fix it; they haven't even acknowledged it!

Did you not notice the huge difference in the water dynamics? Try looking at the water when it's raining in 1.00, it looks great; though it causes the FPS to drop significantly. The blood not only splattered on enemies, it also splattered on Geralt too. I do agree that overall the day-one patch...

Please respond to this thread CDPR! I just want to know that this bug will be resolved at some point. I've been playing the game and enjoying it despite this issue, but I've been specifically avoiding the larger settlements since that is where it makes the most difference to immersion.

I just want to clarify that when I say I prefer version 1.02 of the the game, that is because for me that version had the best compromise between graphics and performance. When you reinstall the game it'll be version 1.00, and that is the one that has the more dynamic water. This was removed in...

But the water in his screenshots doesn't look perfectly flat, it still has some detail to it. If you play the PS4 game without any patches, it the water looks very similar to the pictures he posted. It looks less detailed initially, but it's actually far more reactive to the weather and wind...

Yep they should work fine, it's only the unpatched game (1.00) that is incompatible with DLC. Bare in mind that any saves made with more recent iterations won't work, so you'll likely have to start the game over. I wish I was able to do this myself, version 1.02 looked the best for me and I...

I turned off most of the HUD when I first got the game. As soon as I left White Orchard I turned off the question marks on the map because I prefer to explore organically, rather then running from point of interest to point of interest. I haven't had any real issues with the FPS at all, 1.02...

If you have a disc copy of the game, try reinstalling it, don't patch it, and start a new game. When it rains you'll notice how much better it looks compared to the rain now, the rain drops are actually translucent. The water especially looks fantastic when it rains and reacts much more...

I'm just hoping that I can get a response from CDPR, indicating that they are aware of the issue and intending to fix it. What irks me the most is that this was introduced with a patch, it should be very easy to rectify. Yet CDPR seem to be ignoring the problem, since there were similar...
