PC Hotfix is available!

[Alicja.]

We’ve just released a hotfix for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC which should improve overall stability and performance of the game, and fix GOG & Steam overlays. The game version won’t change.

At the same time, the next-gen update has been released for the Origin version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The game version is going to be 4.0.

Our teams are working on further improving the experience on all platforms. For more details, check out our article on currently investigated issues.

Thanks a lot!!

Will there be HBAO available in future?

Any plans releasing patch notes? Eg default settings and presets changed significantly. Stuff like this would be nice to know about. On a sidenote pre-rendered cutscenes seem to lock to eighter 28 or 33 fps making them horribly stuttery.

Merry Christmas to the team!

Is this HOTFIX coming to EA/Origin app? Also, should those of us that purchased the game via EA/Origin expect to have to wait a decade for all future released HOTFIX/patches from now on?

GOG Galaxy, simply patching the game requires completely redownloading the entire [...] game? [...]

It does not, it only downloads the 2 GB patch and then patches 52 GB of game files .... It DOES NOT download the entire 52 GB. I already explained this on another thread, if you open up the Witcher 3 folder in File Explorer you can see it creates a temp folder, downloads the 2 GB patch to it then it moves the files it needs to patch over from the main directories, patches them, moves the newly patched files back over to the main folders and then deletes the temp folder it created.

And we can certainly communicate without any hostility at all. If only life always worked out perfectly and problem-free! If only that!

Happy holidays to everyone!
