It also happens on PS4, guys. I've been posting about this a lot of times here in the "tech support" section and in the "PS4" support section. And I'll keep doing it while the patch doesn't come, because I'm afraid of it will not be fixed too.
Bug/ issue?
Stuttering. Screen is frozen every 1 second.
When does it occur?
Whenever you ride on Roach
at non galloping speed. I mean, while walking or trotting.
Platform?
PC, PS4 (I don't know on XONE)[/QUOTE]
It's really annoying for anybody who likes taking this game calmly and going through the landscape watching daily life of people, the buildings, the environment, etc. I mean,
people who really want to enjoy The Witcher 3 instead of going always running from "A" to "B" and looking for nothing more than quick action. I think that people who really enjoy/ want to enjoy this game, we do like watching things, "tasting" how implemented things are, etc. This game is beautiful.
But
unfortunately we can't enjoy 100% yet, because of
this annoying stuttering which is killing our game experience no matter we tray to evade this sensation.
I think that people who are always running from "A" to "B" galloping on Roach never figured out this issue, because they never walk on horse or take it calmly. But for the rest of people, I even know gamers who don't ride on Roach because of that, they hate ridding on horse despite Roach is a key implementation for the game.
PLEASE, fix it, PLEASE!!
I can avoid as much as I can other kind of stuttering/ framerate issues, like when it's raining in Novigrad by night and torches are on fire (the fps are terrible when so many particles are shown), simply meditating untill the daylight becomes. But the horse stuttering is impossible to avoid unless I go from "A" to "B" ALWAYS running. The thing is I can't really enjoy this great game because a stupid bug, but really annoying bug.
