NPCs streaming problem aka "ghost town" bug

At first i was thinking that NPCs got their day schedule but after i saw an empty INNs and they become full after mediteting i know there is a problem. When i was solving a serial killer mystery i went to hospital and there was't any Npc but after I meditate - BAM there are Npcs on the beds. I don't think dying npcs went to take a brake.
There is a problem with npc streaming on PS4. You can clearly see that you can't never have npcs in two "world cells" simultaneously on PS4.The same problem is in Novigrad, Nilfgard's soldier camp in Velen, Oxenfurt,dwarf mobster headquarter,king of thieves den, and many places when you have a big number of Npcs. I think people didn't even acknowledge this. So if you are wondering if you have this problem- do the same test that i did in the first video.
I have brand new PS4 with only software update and "Witcher" game instaled. I own phisical copy of the game.
I'm curious if this problem is exclusive to my version of "The Witcher".So please write down if you have this problem on your platform. I realy think that this kind of things does't apearing on PC and Xbox one.This bug was introduced in 1.03 patch

I think it is ridiculous and unfair to pay for new expansion which take place in Oxenfurt and meditate on every corner to get "full experience".
It would be nice if somebody from CDPR or Marcin express if their working to fix this bug........but I realy doubt it because somewhere on this forum I read that they can't "duplicate" this problem. So I'm asking players (especialy Ps4 players) - Can you "duplicate" this problem? If yes, write about it.
Sorry for my english but it is not my native language.

I have this problem. Made this account just to reply. I got the game after patch 3 came out. Oxenfurt and novigrad have always been practically empty besides merchants, guards and a few odd peopls here and there. But oxenfurt in particular is like a ghost town. Nearly ready to leave for Skellige so im pretty gutted to have played it like this.

I have made about ten topics about this so far, and have been in contact with support since release. The most I was able to get out of them was a vague confirmation that "they are looking into ways to address the issue", basically meaning that this is in fact a feature, introuced in order to maintain console parity, and to make console "gamers" happy. I wish I could see it in any other light, but given the absolute and utter silence on this issue since release, there is nothing else I can think of. It's a damn shame too, because the game is definitely the game of the year hands down. I have never played such an immersive, massive, and stunning game. It is in bad taste to ruin it by sacrificing the visuals on the altar of perceived correctness towards individuals with crap "hardware"

It's common on all systems. Never noticed it being so bad until 1.06. I'm sure CDPR will get it ironed out.

In the meantime...I'm off to play some Planetside 2. Then...tennis! I adore summers.

It's not a console only bug.
