Patch 1.05 for PC out now!

[BeoNet]

It seems that everybody has very different experiences with this patch. I'm playing on PS4, so my version is now 1.04. I have noticed so far:

- The game itself runs much smoother than before, doesn't matter if it's in battle or in the menu's
- The Chernobog runestone has indeed been changed from "chance to revert/throw back damage" to "increased attack"
- There's a new quest on the island with the lvl 48 griffon which i haven't noticed ever before
- On my first start with the new patch installed, the game told me that i can activate / deactivate something new in the menu, but i have pressed X so fast that i didn't get it
- Since experience points went normal days ago for me, I can't comment anything regarding this.

It's called "Roach"

You can't store anything at all on your horse, the only thing Roach can do, is increasing your inventory weight limit, which is not the same as having a storage chest to store your valuable stuffs.

Alchemy doesn't work - cant prepare mutagen (you already have this item)
Still cant talk to some NPC

 

[Geralt_of_bsas]

damn those are a lot of fixes, more than what I was expecting, thanks devs!

Stuttering (frame-pacing) still not fixed.

Horse animation stuttering not fixed.

Disappointing you didn't revert the texture mipmapbias to 0 after all the aliasing/shimmering complaints. Looks like we'll have to edit the .ini ourselves.

Have you tried the numerous stuttering fixes that already work perfectly for many? the frames to render ahead thing, V sync, an external frame rate limiter, etc...

The mipmapbias might never get reverted, since it also increases foliage quality tremendously, the best they should do, is to put it like an option in the normal menu of the game. Mipmapbias = 0 makes tree leaves look like crap vs -1 or -0.6 for example.

Thank you so SO much for adding colorblind assistance, I love your tracking missions but they take FOREVER on account of not seeing the tracks/scents. Keep up the good work guys!

WTF? Why does the PS4 Patch 1.04 don't have all these quest fixes in the update history? The Magic Lamp Quest is still bugged! The objective "Search the room with your Witcher Senses" turns FAILED after solving the puzzle with the statues.. This is pissing me off! Mr. Marcin Momot said: "All quests reported by players will be fixed in this patch!" I waited more than 1 week and NOTHING! Are you fucking kidding me? -_-

 

[gadrael]

no, there is no overlay program, i downloaded the game from the gog account, no steam, no origin, no gog galaxy

I had similar effect when I was experimenting with compatibility settings - maybe you have option "run as administrator" set on .exe file.

 

[SolsticeXI]

Can someone clarify if the patch notes are the same for both PC and console? Patch notes seem incomplete on the PS4 side, doesn't show all the changes like The quest fixes.

 

[Diaboliks]

DAMN!!! After 10 days without playing The Witcher 3, now the patch it`s released!!! And ???? NO "Magic Lamp" Quest fix!!! Now what ? I must waiting another +10 days and hope that maybe someone from developers will fix that error/bug ? :huh:
I send 2 tickets about the bug/error in the Magic Lamp quest. I send message to twitter & private message here on forum to Marcin Momot, and he say that it should be fixed in the next patch(1.05)...and nothing good. I read all the list with resolve issues and NOTHING about that BUG/ERROR : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKtXo-fdqBE ; It`s so hard to fix that minor error ?

 

[jafg_1285]

Yep, SolsticeXl.. I think the PC version is getting more attention than the console versions! I'm dissaponted that Magic Lamb quest is still buggd! People have reported it from the start on.. And still no fix! FUCK THIS!

Game looks even better now! Keep up the good work and thank you! :hai:

CDPR are you joking? Mutagens bonuses still do not work properly after loading:mean:

YEAH! Geralt is Extremely upset about this. Reapplying the mutagens after every loading or world map traveling is irritating. And not only this. After the patch I found out that I cannot craft the Blue Mutagen because I have one in my inventory. Game says "you already have this item" like it's a potion or something. No more greater blue mutagens for me I Guess. Fix this ASAP. Don't make Geralt sad.
PS: And Roach... Why does it have to spawn behind the buildings, rocks and other impassable terrain? Takes some time to reach him.

@sidspyker

Clarifies a number of crafting diagrams.
Shops now only offer weapons with levels matching or exceeding the player character level.

item levels not visible in crafting diagrams.
shop should offer weapons/armor 2 levels below character. other items of all levels.

Introduces a number of fixes related to combat.
Improves Geralt's movement, especially when he swims.
Fixes an issue whereby certain actions could be randomly blocked during gameplay.

testing (seems better)... swimming used to be horrible. on land was ok, chests/candles were manageable by rotating view.
diving/resurfacing is sometimes problematic. ie: will resurface when diving, or fail to surface and dive back down. as if a wall was there, forcing reversal. also happens in confined quarters (and a certain secondary quest).

Fixes an issue where clouds and fog could flicker on some hardware configurations.
Disables "Input device changed" messages and adds options to disable on-screen combat feedback and floating tags above NPCs.
Introduces a number of fixes in key bindings.

v1.04 flickering still occurred with 15.4 catalyst, but was much worse with 14.12. (hd 7870), testing v1.05...
dual controller+mouse/kb input possible? testing...
not enough apparently ;p probably mostly organizing back-end code? fix hard-bindings, ty.

Reduces the spawn time of selected groups of NPCs.
Reduces the number of Wild Hunt minions spawned during the Ciri's Story: Fleeing the Bog quest.

ugh...

[fsp01]

Cat school techniques still doesn't work!!!

 

[Akkusa]

exclamation points still not fixed. Npc just react with normal talking instead of triggering the quest

Spoiler

 

[Sandis]

Dose anyone else have a long loading screens now, I'm mean a lot longer after 1.05 patched (PC)?

 

[Vasilyevich]

Geralt can now always play gwent with Madame Serenity.

This does not work.

 

[BeoNet]

Yeah, that druid isn't giving me the quest either... it's kinda annoying to have a yellow exclamation mark on my map

I've just noticed that the bug where the camera fixes itself behind Geralt's head isn't fixed. At least loading helps here ^^

No, no longer loading screens here. Rather shorter to be honest.

Yes, nothing works.

Yeah, Loadingtimes are way longer now.
