Patch 4.04 is live on all platforms, including Nintendo Switch!

+
Hi I just bought the switch version of the Witcher, I noticed there’s no weather/ambient sound on the background, it’s so dull and boring without those. So please make a patch for Nintendo switch! Hope you see this
I quote you, but it's for everyone which encounter this issue and is worried about it, please consider to directly contact the support if it's not already done > "contact us" button.
(no dedicated category, but this one should be fine)
 
I don't have ambient background sounds on the Nintendo switch version! We are waiting for a new patch! It is not possible to play like this, and the performance leaves much to be desired, in fact the product is broken! Ira is not cheap and there is no way to roll back the version on switch, it's terrible! When will the fix be released? The item MY REWARDS and multiplatform saves also do not work.
 
Nintendo switch v.4.0.4b some quests do not work. You approach the object, press the A button to interact and nothing happens. And I have already met 3 such places! And I just started the game! Still only a level 9 character, it's scary to imagine what will happen next? The question is rhetorical. Check, test, fix, that's not the point! I am very glad that the team continues to work on the game and fixed the sound, but there is still a lot to be done.
 
Any chance for DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction support in the future updates? I think it could make The Witcher 3 even better looking with ray tracing mod with global illumination. However, I have clearly no idea how hard is it to implement into the game.
 
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting FSR 3. Will The Witcher 3 be getting it as well? AMD says it's easy to integrate in FSR 2 titles. And Since more GPUs can use its frame generation feature, it should be a no-brainer. Please add it to the next patch.
 
Hi I just wanted to share that I play on ps5 and despite saying the Bug “the characters becoming blurry during dialogue” was fixed a few patches ago it still happens. It’s soo distracting and makes me very sad. It’s like the characters ( both Geralt and whoever he’s talking too) keep going in and out of focus, (their armor and head) is the best way I can describe it. Will this ever be fixed ? Thank you.
 
@Alicja, there are still a few things in W3 that require correction:

1. Depth of Field (DOF) on PC.
  • Please add an option to use depth of field only in cutscenes and dialogues on PC. Currently, DOF is used during gameplay, significantly degrading distant landscape views.
2. Haptic feedback for DualSense/DualSense Edge on PC.
  • We have the ability to use adaptive triggers, which is great. However, haptic feedback is missing on DualSense when connected to a computer. This is crucial, as leaks suggest that the new Xbox controller (codenamed Sebile) will also feature haptic feedback. It's a highly enjoyable addition to the gaming experience that should also be available on personal computers.
3. Geralt's hair and beard still appear unnaturally dark, almost black, with HairWorks and Ray Tracing enabled on PC in certain lighting conditions (most noticeable in the initial scene in White Orchard, after arriving at the inn with Vesemir).

4. Pop-in of distant trees using RT Reflections still occurs.

5. Hair physics do not work correctly at higher FPS - their movement and responsiveness are noticeably decreased.

6. Hovering over with the map marker is not smooth - it looks as if it's rendered at 30 FPS.

7. There should be an option to consume food directly from the item pickup menu and use food/potions/decoctions directly from the expanded radial menu (quick selection menu ==> D-pad up or down button pressed twice).

8. Integration of DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction and FSR3 Frame Generation.

  • Ray Reconstruction could potentially improve the quality of reflections, common in The Witcher, and enhance ambient occlusion. FSR3 Frame Generation would enable smoother gameplay with Ray Tracing for owners of AMD cards.
9. Disappearing icons of vendors and craftsmen on the map.
  • Mainly in Novigrad, after encountering a specific merchant and then moving away from them, their icon disappears from the map. This occurs with many vendors in Novigrad, sometimes consistently marked on the map and sometimes only appearing when in proximity. The issue is present on both consoles and PC.
10. Adding the option for instant skipping of Jaskier's progress summaries in the story when loading a save.
  • For example, by holding the triangle/Y button, as in Resident Evil 4 Remake. Many find it frustrating that they can't skip this cutscene upon reloading the game. The cutscenes themselves are also very choppy, at 28 FPS and with poor frame pacing.
11. Merchants, especially in Skellige, should have more money.
  • In the current state, it's almost impossible to sell anything in Skellige because merchants have pretty much almost no money, maybe like 800 crowns. Due to the amount of loot on the islands and the inability to sell items, players constantly have to use fast travel to Novigrad, which takes time and disrupts immersion.
 
I really hope we get a patch for the ps5 soon. If only for a few things then it would at least be playable.

I wouldn't hold my breath for any new updates. It seems the game is left in the dust and we have live with the buggy experience. I am kinda jealous of Cyberpunk crowd getting update after update.

I find another bug related to sound when you can hear already dead npc's or animal's sound near you although there is nothing there.
 
After the 4.04 I can’t play for more than 1 minute without the games freezing and having to shut the game down with frame generation on. I noticed this issue a little while after the update. I’ve tried numerous solutions, but no luck. I’ve seen on Steam forums others share the same issue as recent as Dec’23.
Leaving frame gen off, I get no crashes, but with a 4090 & a7800x 3D, I should be able to run it w no issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
As of today on PS5, there are still flickering clouds in the sky and its pretty annoying.
Please fix this. Also waiting for transmog system to be added.
