Patch 1.07 Broke the game!

[varonecl]

Patch 1.07 Broke the game!

1. It will not allow me to install Ciri Alt DLC. The game is patched to 1.07 but it is not the latest base for the game.
2. NVidia GeForce experience doesn't seem to recognize the game settings in order to optimize.
3. Geralt disappears whenever I move. Like other than his head becomes a ghost.
4. Roach is still an idiot popping through walls and mountain sides to come when called.
5. Lastly, My FPS has dropped, not stabilized or increased.

I7 4790k 4.0GHZ
970s in SLI
32GB

I have a war horse of a machine and this is crap.

I am having the same issues. Identical PC set up. I had to remove dsound.dll from the bin folder just to get it to play. Everytime I try to move with Geralt his body disappears.

Witcher 3 totally unplayable for me (while it was fine before)

970's are really bad cards lol. No wonder why your game is bugged out. Enjoy that 3.5 gigs of VRAM.

I can max this game out on a single 980ti constant 70+ fps everything ultra and hairworks on with AAx8.

 

[jamiehavok]

A lot of the witcher 3 performance issues do seem to be related to the 970!

Dude you just showed us that you're total ... imbecile regarding hardware capabilities and how they work. PLease be silence next time when you go full retard. I have GTX970 and w3 is running on ULTRA hairworks ON without stutter nor fps drops yes it has 3.56 gb of vram but w3 doesn't even use 2gb of vram so please ... nex time before stating some trolling comment just remove your self from internet !

I am not going to call him an imbecile, but clearly he is wrong. I had no problem running the game on ULTRA while playing with my 970s in SLI prior to the patch. Any sort of research or quick google search will prove him wrong on that front. Any Benchmarking. I guess all the people with 980s that are having problems are just using busted 980s too according to him?

 

[bradb2015]

well he's not totally wrong...ever since I downloaded and installed patch 1.07 i get a match error from galaxy and cannot launch witcher 3, not even after trying to re-verify game files...thought I have a gtx 780...but still this patch did break the game for me at least. Was working fine last night and this morning woke up and cannot play it at all...I could try re downloading and installing but I mean...f that...its almost 30 gigs...aint nobody got time for that...fix this match verification bs.

Saying something as silly as 970s being bad cards doesnt help the situation and shows a lack of knowledge, total lack of knowledge. Especially when you mention its 3.5GB VRAM, yeah that is a problem running two in SLI. If you would have said it was an SLI issue then maybe, but blaming the 970s is silly. I am benchmarking high and playing way too many games for this to be a problem with my 970s in SLI setup.

I am happy he just spent the money on a 980ti and is getting good performance. Given that I was running the game on ultra at 1440k I am sure its my 970s. yeah I am pretty positive that is what it is. At the most given average Benchmark test you may be 5-10FPS better depending on games.

The issue isnt the card and that is just a silly argument given I've already completed every aspect of the game except gwent and had no problem the same way i am having no problem with the multitude of other games I am playing.

I seriously dont have these problems, i have a similar set-up wel a bit better, i7 4930k @ 4 ghz, 16gb of ram @ 1600 mhz, gigabyte gtx 980 g1 in sli.
I dont have any of those problems, i run the game on ultra @ full HD, i think your problem lies on 1440p. gtx 970 sli is just to weak for that resolution with ultra settings, and those crazy stretching graphics i dont have them either.

 

[bradb2015]

my older zotac gtx 780 amp'd edition with 3 gigs of 384 bit gddr5 vram has no problems running ultra settings @ 1900x1080 on my 55" plasma big screen...wouldnt think your newer gtx 970 would have any problems...game looks stunning and frames never seem to drop....though this beast of a card did set me back $480 Feb. of 2014....just thought i'd throw my specs into the debate for comparison. Sli not needed btw. 60 FPS steady on heaven benchmark.

I'm having problems too with the 1.07 patch on the GOG version, I have now rolled the game back to 1.06 which apart from one or two crashes to desktop ran really well. With 1.07 installed I was getting many more ctd and some frame rate issues that I wasn't having before. when the game crashes you can still hear the sound of the game but there was no way to get the game to run again. I use a controller which works perfectly with 1.06 but in 1.07 started having issues with some commands not working like dismounting from horses. I even started a completely new game so I wasn't using an old save but it made no difference. My system is Core i7 2600K 16GB of 1866 Mhz RAM and 2x Asus GTX 980 SLI running game at 1440p on Ultra video settings.

SO yeah. I checked it without SLI. Checked it without my 1440 monitor and guess what no joy there. The game was still in the same state. After this I decided what the hell. I will delete the game. So I uninstalled it, Used CCleaner and began the process of reinstalling via GOG Galaxy. This was yesterday(Sunday) around 7:50 AM EST. It is now 3:56PM the nest day (Monday) EST and guess what this damn thing still has not installed.

Before I get anyone saying its my connection speed. I am well over 50/50 at 83/85 when I checked last night before hitting the bed and 12 ping.

It is too funny to see someone say that GTX 970s cant handle 1440 or 4k, especially considering ALL of the benchmarks already done by SOOO many people and that I have been using these on other games, still am to be honest. I beat the whole game already using this setup. So I know it isnt a question of can my rig handle it, it was doing just fine pre-patch 1.07.

Is 'dsound'dll' from a mod? I don't have it now as I always uninstall mods before a new patch comes out, and I did have it when I was using the weight change mod.

I have a war horse of a machine and this is crap.

Below are some practices I always use to increase the potential PC games won't give me issues.

2 970's in SLI here, working great.
i7 5820k@3.30 ghz
16 GB
Windows 8.1

Very clean system. All I install from Nvidia is the driver you have to (first one in list, can't de-select it), and PhysX. Never Gameworks or anything else (Miracast, 3D stuff, HD Audio Driver). I don't need Nvidia setting my settings or bunging up my system. I use NVCPL for that.

I recommend;
-#1 - Remove all mods completely and cleanly
-Completely uninstall the Nvidia drivers
-Install Nvidia driver and choose 'custom'
(I'm using 353.30 that's not official but a hotfix for something)
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3694/~/geforce-hotfix-driver-353.38

-When installing new only install the main driver and PhysX. (if you use the HDMI cable for sound you might need to install the HD Audio Driver. I don't).
-IMPORTANT When installing the driver make sure you check 'Perform a clean installation' at end of the list.

-Don't run with MSI, Fraps, Mods or anything.
-Try the game.
-Then setup Nvidia Control Panel for SLI.
-Use the Witcher3.exe in NVCPL.

The recommendations above are a complete shot in the dark. Basically I'm just recommending starting with your system as clean as possible, get the game working, then add overhead back.

(not a recommendation) By the way, my game is installed on a SSD and my Windows swap file is on a dedicated SSD partition, and I have forced its min and max sizes to be the same at 48 GB. Crazy? Unnecessary? Hasn't caused me problems and it helped with Batmobile stutter in Arkham Knight.

Thank you Sgt. I will give this a try.

so lol to you
I have 2 SLI 970 strix

2much placebo in that 3.5 gb rams
mostly ppl who dont know shit about hardware complain
