PS4 - Lots of issues with Digital version

I got the PS4 Digital Version with expansion pass
it was 100% downloaded and installed
Also had the 400 something MB patch downloaded and installed

Now First issue is not really a bug but an oddity: The game boots and ask to correct the Gamma until we see the logo... now I had to crank it all up to the max and still couldnt see the logo... I though maybe it was my TV that was darker than usual... but then again I play a lot of dark games such as Aliens, Resident Evil & Evil within, and never had to crank the gamma at all...

Next issue: all the video cinematics.... HORRENDOUS! They are extremely pixelated... as if the videos were in 320p stretched out to 1080p... that includes the comic book opening cinematic, and the "dream" where we see a boat over the castle wall and the death knights about to kill frozen Ciri during the turotials... like AWFUL pixeladed videos...

During the Tutorials... when asked to race Ciri, frame rates was awful for 1... and then asked to use a ladder to climb down.... since it was a race I decided to simply walk off the ledge instead of losing time climbing... So I walk of the ledge... and for a good 2 seconds Gerald was floating in the air... then landed standing up on the ground, and then made the Landing animation... like really not "natural looking". Awful animation. Pretty much the same happened whe asked to Jump while running... was running... Jumped over the ledge... character continued running in mid air, and once on the other side of the ledge the character made a landing animation... weird as hell.

Next up I arrive to the Pub and talk to the bar maiden... and offer to shop... the shop menu was AFULLY PIXELATED like in the movies cinematics... shitty looking background... its like Black with I think smoke on the left side... well the smoke had pixels the size of a quarter.

and finally I get to play GWENT... after I placed all my cards on the table (still have not figured how to play this) the computer PASSED... and I only had one card left in hand... so I decided to also PASS... the very second I pressed Triangle button to Pass... the Game froze and the console completely rebooted... no error message, nothing...

From there I went to bed and didnt play again.

Am I the only one? Is there another patch incoming fixing these?

Can't explain the first problem, I don't have that issue to give any advice. Game on my Monitor as well, and need to replace due to colour banding, but never have issues with Gamma.

Second issue, my guess is we got another case of Deus Ex: HR with the cinematics, in which they aren't fully HD. I haven't noticed it TOO MUCH due to my colour banding.

Third issue? Cannot answer that, haven't done exactly what you've done during that race with Ciri, and only cursed ladders for being too context sensitive.

Fourth issue, is that an issue? I have not at all noticed that. Instead a REAL issue would be how slow navigation through those menu's/UI tends to be.

GWENT takes some time to understand, but honestly not that hard to figure out, especially after the tutorial. You build up a deck, one of several, and you start with 8 cards, and does the opponent. You place cards down, and also effect cards, or Commander, and rank up enough points before going into the next round. Takes some strategy and, believe it or not, actual tactic to be victorious.

After the first round matches can be concluded during the second round, though do not waste all your good cards during the first as the A.I tends to punish you for doing so.

As for the CTDN (Crash to Dynamic Menu. Hehe, see wut I did dere?) I have yet to come across that issue.
