Horse walking animation broken (produces stuttering)

Hello fellows, I just want to mention an issue that is being killing my ingame experience.

Here we've talked about the stuttering camera, but it's a stuttering in the horse animation too, I think it's broken. It happens when you walk slow riding the horse, each 2seconds the screen freezes and starts again. Very annoying stuttering in my opinion.

By the other hand, congratulations to cdprojekt red, you've made an awesome product, my favorite game right now. But these little stutters are very uncomfortable. I hope it'll be corrected in future patch.

Here some videos illustrating what I'm saying:

I too like to slowly explore the world of the witcher but this stupid bug is destroying my immersion. CDPR can't even make a walk cycle correctly? It also happens on the cool slow horsewalk (tilt your analog stick just a little).

Not to mention that frustratingly annoying autocentering horse camera.

bump? I've temporarily lent the game to my friend while I wait for this issue to be resolved

I've been having this problem since the very beginning. Its not quite as noticeable if I do a slow walk, but if I do the regular trot it is really bad, especially when it is windy so you notice everything that freezes.

Thank goodness more people are noticing it, I did from day one of the game, it definitely kills exploring ploring the game on horse back. I can't seem to enjoy walking with roach, without noticing the broken/stutter animation for roach.

I hope CDPR have finally noticed it and will patch it soon. I wish they learned about horse control mechanics from Red Dead Redemption , that game had great control in terms of horse riding experience, as well as the attention to detail of horse muscles contracting as it walked.
Nonetheless loving everything about the Witcher 3 side missions and story content.
