Unplayable FPS on any settings from ULTRA/high to LOW
Good day,
I completed TW3 all the way through once (@1080p) vanilla and again (@1440p) with HoS added (though I don't suppose the resolution details really matter, because both times it ran VERY well, only difference being I got a better monitor intra play-throughs, all other equipment remained the same.) Read all the books (that have been translated into English) in the meantime waiting for my chance to jump into BnW - it killed me waiting until today to fire it up, but I wanted to have enough time off work to dive into it completely (technically, irrelevant, but w/e, I was psyched)!
When I started it up I chose the new game "Blood and Wine Only" choice - knowing I'd eventually do another complete play-through with HoS and BnW installed. Everything appeared fine at first, though a little choppy but with big audio problems. I looked around for about 7 hours online concerning my staticy/stuttery audio problems (believing the framerate problem wasn't major and could eventually be looked at) and attempted several solutions (drivers, usual suspects, etc.) I have two higher-end headphones (Harman-Kardon, and Bose) and a mid-cheapy SkullCandy. And I attempted with all three sets, even though this is the only game I experience this audio issue with. Videos, music, even TW3 menus and load screens have no issue. It's similar to static, but also cuts out at times,
When I approached the knights for the "Wine Boys, Envoy Boys" quest (first of BnW) it became most pronounced, and the combat following was unplayable both for FPS and listening to the knights' speech.
I'm running Windows 10 Home 64bit, both the game and OS are on a Samsung evo 850 SSD. Using a Gigabyte z97x gaming mobo, i7 4970k, evga GTX 980, and 16gb ram. Though, as mentioned, I played the game at least twice entirely without issue. I have the GoG version.
Is there anything I can do? I looked through my old saves and they range efrom 1.08 to 1.12 for the games I remember playing with no issues.
