Classic version is broken

[felixryke]

Hi. Been playing for years on PC on Steam.
I have no mods installed and have done several fresh installs of the game since the update.
All over Novigrad, (the only place i checked so far), the environment textures are completely broken. There are huge piles of ground, rock and foliage textures that lie on top of the actual textures, Geralt clips through them. There are holes in the ground where texture is missing, and every interior i've been in in Novigrad has huge piles of texture clipping into the interiors. I'm on the latest drivers and everything.
To clarify: All of these bugs are visual only as Geralt can walk into these texture piles and even interact with things visually obstructed by the glitches.
I've attached some example screenshots but it's everywhere... Again, I am playing the classic, original version on Steam, NOT the next gen update.

If anyone is playing the classic version on PC and could check if they have the same issue, that'd be really nice.

OMG please don't break classic

Strange, as far as I know the classical version itself hasn't really changed... unless you installed the next gen version first and reverted back, that might have messed up a few things. But other than that no clue what would cause an issue like that.

But did you try loading a save game before the issues started to occur?

You could also try reinstalling gpu drivers as explained in Nr. 1 here:

Just a guess, but for example if you installed the next gen version, then returned on the classic version without removing manually the files located here (which I guess are not removed by the launcher) :
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Witcher 3\
There are chances it would end by a "odd" mix between next-gen/classic files/settings...

Could be a possibility, yes.

Hey,
Thank You for Your answers, I did initially have to download the next gen version on steam automatically after which i switched back to the classic version and re-downloaded the game.
Yes, I have tried saves from before the issue was occuring, saves from before the update went live but the issue persists on those saves as well.
I am on the latest drivers but I could try to reinstall all the drivers and perhaps delete the files from the documents folder and redownload the game.

Thank You for Your suggestions, I will try in the coming days and will keep You updated if that fixed anything!
