Nope and Nope. 68 days and counting since this game was released with PS4 performance problems which still haven't even been remotely addressed.

every new patch fixed bugs but introduced other problems, the best patch imo was the day 1 release version
I have deleted Witcher 3 from my PS4, including all saves. When this game is finally polished 3-5 months from now, I shall install and play it from scratch. Considering the amount of bile in these threads, that is what I would recommend to you guys as well. It might keep you from developing stomach ulcers.
Doing this will have only one effect : framerate problems on PS4 will be burried, and eventual new buyers completely ignorant about this will be trapped with an unfinished product, as we are. Is this really what you want ?
Yeah, that is what I want, you got me.
We are not talking about an obscure cospiracy where CDPR is trying to silence all reports of framerate related issues. They know, and by now the players know and the press "knows" as well. If the game cannot be fixed, CDPR's reputation will be even more marred, customers will sell their used games and their income will steadily decline.
Don't get me wrong, though. I am all for revealing and discussing this product's shortcomings, but one should do that in a civil tone. Everything else makes you appear or unmasks you as children.

Yeah, that's what I've done too. In the meantime I'm just going to keep an eye on the latest patches and their reception.
Might as well accept that we all bought into an "early access" game here.
Momot tweeted that they won't be lowering it to 900p so either they're working on a performance fix or they're just going to leave it as it is.
Leaving the game unplayable. Well then, should have remained as a PC-Only game.
Well one can only hope that the next patch will be focused on the performance

They are gonna try to fix this and it will obviosuly be better then before. Perhaps 29-31fps?
I have faith in these fine people just give them som time.
Try to fix? Absolutely. Will they? Probably not. What should they do? Admit they can't, the consoles are trash, or they don't know how to optimize for the PS4. No game is perfect, and technically speaking Witcher 3 is close to a masterpiece as far as RPG's and Open World goes. Performance wise? The games is terrible, and 20FPS is UNACCEPTABLE. Do I expect 30FPS 100% of the time? No, I don't even get that when gaming on my PC - Though I don't expect it to drop 20FPS which is unplayable.
I've got to hand it to Marcin, he doesn't loose his cool, and remains professional with all the messages he receives. I'm sympathetic to PS4 and Xbox players too though as everyone is just tired of the performance issues remaining at this point in time.
Hopefully Marcin is telling the truth this time, and that the frame rate issue is finally solved. It's been too long now, I have the worst frame rate stutters on the south East region of main island of Skellige, the game literally runs at stop motion every two seconds, it's unplayable at the moment.
We've been patient enough with their so called 'fixes' if 1.08 doesn't solve the problem then I will lose faith in CDPR and will never purchase any future releases.

Hey guys. Here are some official responses from Marcin regarding the patch 1.07 and the new patch that they are current working on.
Lol, that first message though! I'm surprised he could've stayed that professional after it all. But yeah, I'm afraid they wont fix the frames in 1.08 I think. I'd wager only about 2 or 3 more patches after 1.08 will we see improvements. But hay, I could be wrong and I really hope I am because the game is very fun, just not in its current state.
Those replies from Marcin are giving me hope. I hope patch 1.08 doesn't disappoint also. At least revert the X1 version back to how it was before so I can buy that version instead.
Did i said anything that wasn't true? Its pretty bad that a game that's 2 months old still has this kinds of problems.
No, no you didn't good Sir , it was all true
I just read the patch notes for 1.08,- Overall improvements to performance, including some issues that may have been caused by 1.07.
Notice the word "some" in that sentence,lol. It worries me.
