NPC's do nothing, just stand there.

NPC's do nothing, just stand there.

So this probably has been posted somewhere, at some point. But after googling and using the search I haven't been able to find a fix, and mostly no replies even to those threads. So I decided to make my own thread on this.

The issue is that NPC's are all just standing still, they don't do anything whatsoever. In some cases there are multiple NPC's standing inside of each other. Is there any way to fix this on my end or do I have to wait for a patch? It's something I really can't ignore and really makes the experience of playing the Witcher 3 pretty bad. For me atleast.

I currently have the version 1.10.

Lately, I've been having a similar issue but worst...
it's happened to me in several missions... where the NPC just stands there and it either says -1 above their head or nothing and you can't kill them, and they don't give loot and the mission doesn't go on because you can't kill them. It's happened to me with like 4 different missions. And i'm updated up to 1.11 patch, but now i'm considering going back to 1.10 because this is unbearable. Does anyone know of any fixes for this?

If this is a general occurrence for you, then I would suggest re-installing your game and updating it to 1.11.

I've already done that several times and it did not help.

Hey,
We are aware of this issue and working on the fix.

In the mean time time, try to verify integrity of game cache and load game save file made before this issue occurred and check if affected NPCs are still standing idle.

Cheers

Well-known issue for the last few patches. If you haven't encountered it until recently, count yourself blessed!
