Hey guys. After installing 1.07 I noticed that aard effect on water( ripples when using alternate sign mode) is almost totally GONE. is it bug?? This effect was fanstastic....
Its indeed lesser then before.
It looks less to me as well....
CD Projekt RED, for the love of God, PLEASE stop nerfing everything in the game in your pursuit of "optimization", especially on the PC version of the game! You are diluting your own game for what, exactly? So that people can play the game on potato PC's??? This is a really regrettable choice!

In my opinion aard effect ( areal blask - alternate sign mode), on water is HARDLY visible. I wish I recorded some gameplay with this efffect on 1.06, just to compare to 1.07. This effect was so IMMERSIVE. I liked to blask aard on water to see ripples all around me...Now I cant because effect is almost GONEE (((
(((Listen to this guy CD Projekt RED, i cant say it better myself, ditch those console optimalisations and make it worty to our pc fanbase again, after every patch u guys downgrade your game on the pc, and just only for consoles, to make it run better.
Stop doing this please, or just make en enchanted edition for PC only.
I am very patient, but this is getting on my nerves, i like the witcher 3 allot, and i am sooo glad that i finished the game on vanilla version just saying.
There are already allot of game developers doing this on pc, thats just not accepteble in my book.

u crazy dude? the game looks better on the PC now than on the release date, the first patch added postprocessing stuff, and the last patch really did an awesome optimization. I get 60 fps a lot more frequent now.
Think twice before u get those 60 fps, that has his reasons as wel.
Make game lesser in graphics then u get that ofcourse, i thought it looked better aswell, but thats fake, they make u believe it looks better with some filters being overdone thats all.
Compare it a bit like sweet fx, its just crap.
There was a thread showing exactly that. How awesome it looks to use aard in water. But I'm too lazy to search now. Also it could be that I've seen it on a thread in the witcher subreddit and not here. But I'm sure if you search "The Wichter 3 aard water effects" or so on youtube, you'll find what you're searching for.
EDIT:
Never mind. Done a quick search. Here ya go:

Please find a video with the latest patch. CDPR really need to stop nerfing graphical stuff just so consoles can run better than 25 fps.
Here is one detail in this video, which shows water ripple effect, when using Aard.

I doubt you'll get any reply as these are the type of changes developers like to put under the rug and will likely be ignored by the wonderful CDPR.
Or have these (Man Gfycat makes some funky randomized URL's) -

Seems as per normal to me. Unless there's some specific bodies of water that previously were affected and now aren't, for some odd reason.

Actually I just did a little more testing (I'm definitely on 1.07)
I went to check out that exact spot in the video you linked, and it seems that once you go past a certain depth of water, it works (As seen in my WebM), but when the water gets too shallow, the effect is gone, at least from the Alternate Aard.
So that's why in your video the shallower water, nearer to the shore, doesn't get any ripples and is unaffected, but once you step in deep enough, you get the effect.
I can only assume this is a bug, and hopefully the devs will look into it * Poke @Marcin Momot *

Thank You for checking it! Yea i agree with You. I noticed that effect is more vissible after you go past a certain depth of water. That is why ripple effect is almost gome on areas like, swamps and similar areas. It was perfectly vissible on 1.06 so I hope that is only bug not the downgrade
