I did not like the Igni nerf though
Omg, I know! I didn't like it either, the Firestream is useless now!

I think the issue with that one lies in the spell damage not calculating correctly or not doing the effect/damage it should be doing.

Is seems PC is getting more stable with each patch while consoles not so much. I may be imagining things but I wonder if LOD is better in 1.7 and that explains the FPS hit. If so, I'll take it. The FPS drop isn't that bad on my rig.
The game keeps getting more stable for me too, not just on the PC, on the PS4 as well ( I consider myself very fortunate). Also, a friend of mine had that issue, I wouldn't call it an "issue" though, It felt more like a graphical improvement in the over-all details. After the update, his Nvidia experience had DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) enabled, which pretty much renders the game at 4k and he doesn't have a 4k monitor (His PC is pretty good though) it handled it well.

The problem I had with it is that the game would not progress past the title menu multiple times.
Additionally, and I don't know if this is a recent glitch, or ongoing, but lately I would get unable to save messages with no means of getting rid of the message, or getting the ability to save back. This means that any progress once it begins happening, are gone. Of course, usually I don't catch it until I've made at least an hour's progress. It's infuriating.
I'm on Xbone, so normally the game doesn't even close out if I turn it off, it just goes in to that sleep mode, and turning the game off means returning to exactly where I was.
If you're referring to the “please wait” problem on the Xbox, this link should help a lot.
[h=3]“Please Wait Lock” Step-by-step glitch identification[/h]
- Start up Witcher 3
- Get to main menu that shows Geralt in a meditation stance
- “Please Wait” shows up and it appears the game is loading, but really it’s frozen in place
[h=3]“Saved File Wipe” glitch identification[/h]
- Resume your in-progress session with the Xbox One’s turn off and resume mode
- Notice that the game is running terrible, with obvious stutters, lag and serious performance issues
- You’re met with “you cannot save at this time” notification, preventing saves
- After you quit and start up the game again, you’ll be met with the Please Wait Lock glitch (see above)
- Upon the hard reset, you’ll notice that the progress you’ve made since your last unaffected save will be lost
[h=2]The Fix[/h]The frozen loading screen can be circumvented with a simple hard reset. Basically you need to clear your local cache, and doing so is pretty simple and can be done in one of two ways:
- Turn off the Xbox One manually
- Unplug the power cord
- Wait 20 seconds
- Plug back in and start up The Witcher 3
–or–
- Close The Witcher 3 by going to the dashboard and pressing the menu button and selecting Quit
- Reset your console manually by navigating to Settings-> Power and Startup-> Restart now
- Start up the game, and if you’re still stuck, try the manual hard reset option above
“To fix localized Xbox One Xbox Live sign-in problems or games not starting (aka games hanging on the title screen), perform a full reboot of your system, also known as a power-cycle or Full Reboot, cold restart or hard reset,” notes
IGN.
I hope this will help.

Console patches. Buggy as hell.
They fixed one thing, breaked two.
Fixed two things, breaked four.
ad infinitum...
Which Console are you on and which issues/bugs are you having?

I have tried this workaround a few times but yet to see anything spawn, maybe I wasn't being patient enough.
Getting around this one sometimes takes a bit of time, It took me near 72 hours in game-time meditating to get all of them to spawn.

Exactly, I have been playing this game since its release and it has literally crashed every time I play it. Not to mention the bugs and glitches. It amazes me how some quests are yet to be fixed
Are you on Xbox or PS4? The hard-reset seems to fix a few of the issues that causes the game to crash.
