Noticed that when I went to see if I could get the Mutagen achievement and I did get it, so the achievement system is fixed on PC
BUT I DIDN'T GET MY ACHIEVEMENTS FOR MORVUDD, BEATING THE GAME, ETC RETROACTIVELY CDPR. WHY?! I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL SERVANT.
Skeg most wanted quest was fixed. Did you try re-dowloading the quest dlc?
I noticed, at least on gog.com, they put up newer version of the quest. Once I uninstalled the old version and installed the newer version, it finally allowed me to finish the quest.

Did that, still did not work, shame though. Wolf keeps glitching into a idle animation.

Man, I dunno. I'm honestly getting sick of all these patches... It's great they keep supporting it and all, but as a game developer I know it is bad to keep constantly touching your product after release cause it can just keep getting fucked up. It's like we are stuck in a never ending cycle of breaking shit and trying to fix it.
I'd take 1-2 big patches over constant medium patches.

That is indeed odd. Not sure if this is going to help, but what I did was reload from the point right before where you meet other creatures along with the wolf. Went through the dialogues then fought the wolf. Anyway, hope it does get fixed for anyone who is still having trouble with this quest.

I can understand that on PC, performance improvements can vary widely based on specs. But on a console where everyone is playing with the same set of specs, how do patches like these not play out like the devs say they will or should? I mean, they have the exact same hardware at their disposal to test these patches on right? I just don't get how things can still vary so much.

This tread is perfect proof that you cannot take the average users impressions seriously when it comes to framerate without video evidence.
At this point i've given up hope that any patch will make a significant improvement to framerate on ps4 and will be wary of cdpr from now on.

Most people can't tell the difference between 20 and 30, so I never listen to other people's opinion on performance. Digital Foundry and similar are life savers for me, I've skipped games because of poor frame rate.
Witcher 3 is so good, I feel bad for anyone who couldn't experience it on PC in all its glory.

Patch didn't seem to work well for me on PS4.
Shadow pop in is a lot more pronounced in Novigrad now.
Skellige Most Wanted still glitched.
Collect Em All quest still glitched, still no trophy. Fixed, had to loot anything for it to pop which is random!
Maybe next month it'll be better lol

Yeah, how do TF2/Minecraft/CSGO/DOTA2 even play nowadays?!

Fuck... the Most Wanted mission still broken. WTF...
Yep, too much bias and "looks fine to me" type bullshit to get an accurate picture. And it's the same after every patch. I wrote off the PS4 version a long time ago because of this.

Well, TF2 has been seeing some serious FPS drops with the gun mettle skins, and it still has some pretty serious diminishing returns the better your hardware gets.
I can't finish either.
So Steam achievements don't retroactively unlock based on what should've been earned while Patch 1.07 was active? Guess I'll have to find that Steam achievement unlocker program. It's not that I care that much about achievements, but still, it just feels weird to me when I don't unlock achievements I know I got.
Answer: they break every other patch.

Are you able to finally find the key to unlock that dude in a cage?
Can also finally confirm the claywich merchant key dropped off the leader to open his cage. Been waiting for this fix since launch. Escorted that asshole all the way to town to buy those missable cards to avoid any further problems, and I now have them. Finally!!

At 1440p maxed out I noticed it fell from 85 frames to around 81
Are you happy it fell?
Uh. They gimped the weaker console to match the stronger console? You lost me pal
The weaker console had the much more stable frame rate until the last patch, pal.

Oh that's weird. Sorry for the condescending tone, hope they can fix the framerate on both consoles, game is great but I'd hate to play it at 20 FPS as well, it's an ugly framerate indeed.

For what it's worth, I'm almost at the end of the game with more than ~130 hours and out of that I'm sure <5% was at 20 FPS and I spent a lot of time in the swamps. It's bad but once you're out of it the framerate is relatively good. Kind of like Blight town.

Yeah it's pretty clear. They couldn't better the performance on PS4 so they gimped the XB1 version in hopes that people stop asking about it, but it completely backfired and now they have owners of the game on both consoles wanting the framerate to be improved.
Edit: Makes no fucking sense that a game that was running well above 30 fps at launch is now locking to 20 fps.
I don't get it what going on with those patch, seriously. Game still a several fps problems in the struggle scene but I could swear from the 1.07 on my ps4 20 locked it's gone. Indeed fps analysis and other people said it's false. WTF. I'm not blind and very sensitive to 20 fps locked, I'm so confuse.

At this point I feel bad for cdpr, how embarrassing.
Seems clear to me their patch have really something of wrong. At least on console.
Ok. I looked the video. Yes 20 fps locked it's there in the analysis but to my eyes doesn't feel 20 fps locked, for nothing. I don't get it.

i have found a couple of strange bugs yesterday when i tried the game post patch..don't know if they were caused by it or were already there..
one is that multiple times,when walking on the bot in the ocean,i got teleported in the sky like 10 meters over the sea and then dropped for no apparent reason.
another was at a location on the coast of skellige..i believe the name of the location is something like "ruined inn",it's a village in ruin with a burned down house with some wraiths...well,the first time i went there it was completely deserted..then i went to novigrad,came back and now it was full of people...to be honest this probbaly has something to do with the fact that i have killed the wraths in the burned house..but i didn't get the usual "cutscene" after freeing a village from monsters...
last one,a minor one,was that at a nilfgaardian camp,the soldiers didn't spawn until i was basically in front of them...it was really strange,especially because there wasn't that many of them to load.

It makes little difference when you lock it back to 60
The human eye cant detect much above 60fps any how so your all good

Is anyone having a problem of not being able to d/l the update through gog galaxy?

The constant nagging about the game's performance on the PS4 is mind-blowing on this forum. Absolutely mind-blowing. It seems there are people here who just argue for the sake of arguing. I dare to say it is almost in the region of trolling.
Do the people who complain about the PS4's outrageous performance realize that the framerate analysis since every patch is only in 1 region? The Swamp (Crookback Bog).
The game puts you in that region for a mere 2 hours story wise and after that there is absolutely no reason to ever set foot there ever again.
Sure, there is also Novigrad which has framerate and pop-in issues but that is prevalent on every platform so there is no need to constantly bash the PS4 for being 'weak' and so on.
In fact. Constantly stating that the PS4 is the 'weaker console' makes it seem you are willing to start a damn console war for an otherwise amazing game. Just stop it.
