Bugs after 1.21-1.24 patches (spoiler)

Hello all, did od does anybody have the same problems like I have now with The Witcher 3 PC game? Since my instalation of the 1.21, 1.22 and 1.24 patches I have:
a major issue No. 1 - The quest The calm before the storm is impossible to finish. The wild hunt warriors are standing without fight only breathing. You cannot kill them you cannot continue with the quest. This wild hunt attack is in the village called Lofoten. See the picture.
a minor issue No. 2 - . The visual bugs with all travelling boats. There is some rubbish inside. The bridges accross the river in Novigrad have disappeared. Mountain landspape has also lots of visual bugs. See the pictures.
These are failures which I have ditected up to now within my activities mainly in the Skallige isles. Maybe there are much more of them in other locations. Coud somebody give me an adwise how to go on? Mainly with my major issue see above? Maybe it makes sence to mention I have implemented only patches never modes. Thank you in advance.

I just did "Calm Before the Storm" yesterday, with no issues whatsoever. Well, except for my accidentally riding off a cliff...
My Novigrad is fully intact, with no missing bridges. Haven't noticed any of your other listed visual problems either.

I own the Steam version, and my current save was started on 1.22, now of course updated to 1.24.

Hello,

Those issues look like data corruption. Not sure what PC platform are you on (GOG, Steam, Origin?), but you will need to verify/repair game files.
Hope it helps.

I have GOG platform. Any idea which files should I verify/ repair and how? Thank you.

Please try this solution:
1. Go to the folder in which the game is installed and remove the following files (if they are there):
    goggame-1207664643.hashdb
    goggame-1430742867.hashdb
    goggame-1430743168.hashdb
    goggame-1441355562.hashdb
2. Run GOG Galaxy, and log in to your account.
3. Go to Witcher 3: Wild Hunt tab.
4. Click More > Manage Installation > Verify/Repair and then confirm by clicking Verify Game
5. Let GOG Galaxy check the integrity of game files


After the verification is complete, please load a savegame created before this issue first occurred.


If you can't see .hashdb files in The Witcher 3 installation folder please follow these steps:
1. Press Windows key and in the search field type Folder Options (on Windows 10: Press Windows key and type "File Explorer Options").
2. Change to View tab.
3. In Advanced settings under "Hidden files and folders" select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".

Hello REDkatja, thanks a lot for your help. I have fond in the folder all mentioned files except goggame-1441355562.hashdb. I´m going to follow your procedure nevertheless I have one more question before that. If I should find the last savegame before this issue load and save it then I´m fraid I will lose all savegames since that time up to now . Or better said all these savegames won´t be usable. Am I right?

You can try with save files you have, as most of the issues should be fixed with verifying files - but there is a chance that frozen wild hunt warriors will need reloading save file before starting this phase with Ciri. Let us know how it worked out for you

Hello REDkatja,
I removed three hashdb files, let GOG verified the game, open the last savegame before this issue but all visual bugs are still in the game. Any other idea? Thank you in advance.
