This is why I
always recommend deleting the
user.settings and
user.settings.bak files from your "
...\Documents\The Witcher 3" folder whenever a new patch is released, since
CD Projekt RED almost always add/remove/tweak the parameters contained therein. Needless to say, if your
user.settings was set to "
Read-only" before installing a new patch, the new/changed parameters will not apply and you'll be left with all manner of visual bugs and artifacts!
With that being said, I don't think the
TextureStreamingDistanceSq and related parameters are directly responsible for the bug you are experiencing. It's just a shot in the dark, but have you tried disabling
Motion Blur from the in-game postprocessing menu given that the bug only happens when turning the camera quickly around? :ermm:
There's actually a good reason for that - the "
Increased LOD" mod hasn't been updated at all since
4th December 2015! :ermm:
This means that
sjbox - the mod's creator - couldn't have tweaked the LOD distances for the brand new assets that
CD Projekt Red created for
Blood and Wine from scratch. While the mod certainly
works within the base game, it's understandable why the same cannot be said for its newest expansion. The really bad thing is, no one has managed to get a hold of
sjbox ever since January this year, so unfortunately his excellent "
Increased LOD" mod has likely been abandoned and will probably never be updated now!
Actually,
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is probably the most user-friendly game out there when it comes to simply installing and running it with mods. All you have to do is create a brand new folder called "
mods" within your "
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt" installation folder and then download your favourite ones from
Nexus Mods, unpack the archives at a separate location and only copy over the extracted folders beginning with the prefix "
mod..." (e.g.
modHDReworkedProject or
modLodAll, etc.).
After that, you simply run the game as usual and the mods will just work straight off like magic. Should you then ever grow tired of a mod, or would like to uninstall one, just delete its corresponding folder from within your "
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\mods" folder and it's simply gone without any fuss or nasty after-effects!
I can wholeheartedly recommend a number of mods that really bring some readily-apparent visual improvements to the vanilla/default game at almost no additional performance cost. These are "
The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project" by
Halk Hogan PL, "
Super Turbo Lighting Mod" by
Essenthy, "
No Dirty Lens Effect" by
RumenWest and "
Increased LOD" by
sjbox!
Alright, then! If that's the case, then you will likely need to
increase LeftStickSensitivity to at least a value of "
1.0" or even beyond in your
platformgameplay.settings file ("
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\\bin\config\platform\pc" folder)!
I am afraid I don't know of any other parameter that can be changed to alter the sensitivity/deadzone of controller sticks... :ermm:
