Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Witcher 3 Patch 1.08 will be releasing today. (Discussion/Impression Thread?)
- Thread starter J4g3r
- Start date
It was painful for me to read that.
But does it fluctuate or still lock to 20?
Confirmed fixed for me at least. I loaded my save, right in front of the caged merchant and simply unlocked the door. Merchant arrived to Claywich and I got my cards. Finally!

Another cheap PR move by CDPR I see, how dare they.
What is to supposed to mean?

I wish it were perfect
It's just a White Orchard quest, and only nets you two starter swords. There's no Viper school tier of gear and quests like the others. Not yet anyway.
PC here.

And yet they keep not fixing important issues, and breaking things that were fine before. This game is never gonna be what it should have been at launch
I wouldn't say it's locked, seems to be fluctuating as one of the fights I just had seemed a lot smoother than the last.
Best to wait for Digital Foundry I think.

Yup mine is updating as well. This is going to take me forever...
I like having games get updates but these sizes are pretty ridiculous.
Yeah it was about 7.2-6GB on PS4 last night. Just got it myself.

Could you adress his argument ?
I havent smoked anything and what he wrote makes perfect sense, as does CDP's solution.

Lol, after every patch people say the PS4 version seems to perform better, and every time it's 100% placebo. The only thing they've really managed to fix so far is the camera stutter, and that's not really a performance thing. I'm gonna remain VERY sceptical about this until I get more info.
(It was funny when they outright lied about the last patch fixing the performance on PS4, when it did nothing of the sort. Instead, it made the performance on XBO much worse.)

I did the quest right after the patch and had no problem with it, but then again it was my first time trying it and I'm not sure exactly what bug I'm looking for.
But for what its worth I noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

Like seriously
I'll stop now.
Pop-in is definitely still there, but the average seems a lot better. I can definitely do long stretches of runs across Velen, Skellige, and Novigrad and again, at worst, the NPC pop-in in a single busy scene might be 2 or 3. More often than not towns/areas are fully loaded or NPC pop-in has been extended to a further horizon.

It's easy to call people out saying it's placebo when it comes to framerate, but pop-in? That's something that's quite easy to spot if it's gotten better or worse.
To quote my post from earlier:
This is something that was very frustrating for me playing through the game, having to wait for shop vendors to load in so I can talk to them. Having noticed the vendors that I would normally have to wait for be there ready for me to talk to after installing 1.08 is a definite improvement.

Ok, yeah, for sure. I was mainly talking about framerate though. But the pop-in/things failing to load in time was something that was fine originally and they then broke in a patch, wasn't it?
This game is wonderful, but it's also a damn mess in so many ways. I can't help but feel like CDPR bit off more than they could chew developing a game as ambitious as this for three separate platforms. They clearly don't have the QA to handle it.

Is the XB1 framerate back to how it was before?

On my rig, only stutter I notice(except for 1-2 frame rate during thunderstorm/lighting outside) is a split second stutter when the game is streaming a new town/area. Guess my raptor hdd just isn't fast enough.

2GB here but I'm using Galaxy (disc version install). They bundle all patches into the latest which means each patch increases in size from the last. Not sure how it's handled on other platforms.

It's pretty spectacular how often CDPR claim to have fixed something when in fact they haven't. I'm not saying that they aren't trying or don't have good intentions, but their testing and QA procedures clearly aren't up to snuff.
Man this one annoyed the shit out of me. I had to get the pearl first before starting the quest.

Glad I haven't played it for about a month, maybe time to get back to it.
Think this patch adds support when the NG+ 'free' dlc launches on the store. It lists support for it on ps4 1.08 notes, but I assume ng+ is a separate download.

After it took 5 attempts for the patch to finally update on X1, it suddenly stopped at 2%. I don't know if this is Microsoft's issue or what but man this update system is terrible for me. My internet isn't the fastest (15mbps) but it's consistent for everything but this type of stuff. Luckily I checked it just now otherwise it would be just sitting here doing nothing all day.
My games never auto-update even though 90% of what I own is all digital. And yeah it's set for instant-on, update whenever, etc.

How dare they fix bugs that they introduced in the 8 patches in a little over 2 months while not addressing shit that has been there since 1.0. Every single one of these threads there is a post like yours chastising people for calling out their insane amount of patches that invariably break something in the game. We are a few months from launch yet people act like they are doing us a favor by fixing the game with this continued support. Biggest eye roll ever. Free DLC wins hearts and minds apparently. Great game but very buggy, get some damn QA.

Folks, really happy to report that framerate has improved on PS4.
Now don't get me wrong, could it be improved further absolutely, but its getting there.
Stuttering is still there around, but overall framerate improved with a definite improvement to pop in. Not as bad as it was under 1.07.
Swamp area doesn't appear to be locked at 20fps, with some drops but not as frequent and not down to 15 fps or whatever for the amount of time it used to do.
Fighting in the swamps area was a much better experience, more fluid. Not perfect but better with little to no drop in visuals around said area.
Overall I'm going to get back in to this game now. I can play it at this level, and to be honest, I doubt they will persist in trying to eek anything else out performance wise, but one can live in hope

I guess it's a good time to buy as any if you are still interested. The game is only $23 at GMG after discount code SAVE23-WITHGM-GAUG15.

I hope you're right, I wont be able to check for a few days but I have pretty much ran out of low level side shit to do while waiting for them to fix this bug.Thank You! Sweet Baby Jebus, finally can continue the main quest and talk to roach!!!
I'v been doing monster contracts, and secondary quest for like hours. Though most of the monster contracts are pretty freaking awesome.
I need to see more of what happened to roach after Witcher 2.
Thank You Based CDPJRED!
Not sure CDPJRED deserve much praise for taking three patches to finally fix this though.
