ssues I've experienced while playing on the PS4 so far (I've beaten the game so I've only been doing some heavy free roam and misc. quests):
1) The Zoltan Chivay gwent card is still missing under the Hanged Man's Tree - I previously picked up a book (scholar's journal) that was there post 1.05 patch on PS4 but now no items are to be found there
2) FPS has largely improved in my view and it seems more stable. However there is a minimal but noticeable stutter while running / sprinting especially in more "graphics challenging" environments such as Novigrad, swamps and some other areas. This happens every few seconds and it's quite annoying
3) The draw distance has been greatly reduced - even large objects like ship sales (Novigrad docks) pop out of the blue when near and are not visible from a greater distance (not far away however!) same goes for other objects, NPCs, rocks, huts and sheds etc. Same goes for objects rendering while horse riding, you can see clearly that the objects "load" as you're getting closer. This is just a pointer, I understand that some graphical sacrifices have to be made to optimize the game but close objects pop ins need to be fixed
4) I have experienced glitches related to swimming / sailing. Upon exiting the sailing mode Geralt gets shot up in the sky and falls back down to the boat. It happened to me 3 or 4 times now. On one instance Geralt died on impact
5) I can't seem to be able to stash books in the Chest / Stash - why is that the case?? Books weight quite a bit in the W3. If you can in fact stash books in the chest, my apologies
6) I checked and I can confirm the weight bug - upon dropping all the items (other than ingredients that weight 0.0, Geralt's weight is 17
7) The Empty Coop (with Yanina) quest is still glitched - the conversation to finish the quest cannot be started (

Other suggestions for improvements:
1) Map filtering - to me absolutely key is an option to
deselect all the items on the map and select single items you like. Having to deselect every markers other that the ones of interest say for monster nests or "!" quests etc. is tedious and unnecessary. There should be an option to
select all and
deselect all
2) You got to fix the horse. Period. This is the 2nd or 3rd fix and it does improve things but not quite. Roach is still acting silly - it stops abruptly, and most importantly does not follow the best path to the marker/objective when on the road. Crossroads confuse the horse as well quite a bit. I also have the feeling that the decision to include a "break" for Roach on the left stick is a mistake. Very often the horse stops when the player releases the left stick for whatever reason (say we're riding straight and don't need to point in any direction). The issue is that when the left stick is released it often gets pushed a bit past the middle position and causes the horse to stop.
3) There needs to be a fix or an option to quit combat mode (holding circle button maybe?) - it's waaaay too common to get stuck in combat in an awkward position (fall in a whole on a bog, get stuck on a narrow and high passage or a rock or getting stuck between objects indoors (ruins, caves) and being unable to get out until the fight's over
4) Crossbow aiming radius should be improved - there is no way to point straight up at the moment which limits the aiming scope quite a bit when targeting flying creatures
5) Difficulty - this is a tough one but personally I think the difficulty is very uneven in W3. On death march the game is hard from the start until say early mid game / mid game. Past that, it gets much easier as you are able to max out signs or combat / potions skills and you collect more items. The use of oils, bombs and potions is greatly reduced post mid-game. I personally think that on the 2 highest difficulties, the game should push the players constantly until the very end and force them to use ingredients, crafting / alchemy and all the perks to survive/win combat scenarios.
6) More high level monster should be added to the game
One last thing - there are reports of trophies / achievements being broken post 1.07. I can't confirm this as I am missing only the "collect them all" and the infamous Zoltan card. In any case, please fix this as it seems to be affecting a lot of players =)
