[Toki767]

Glad they're including this.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Nice! Great to hear that they can get it locked to 30 on the Xbox One.

Now they better lock the PS4 to 30 as well. They vsync can cause sudden drops to 20 in cutscenes.

 

[Ascenion]

Will this be an optional lock or forced?

 

[base shagohod]

Assuming the save bug has been addressed too..

 

[RowdyReverb]

Good. I hope it doesn't include that 20fps lock side effect seen on the PS4 version when it drops below 30fps

 

[AgentOtaku]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so
Goddamn
Happy

XB1 is unplayable for me right now otherwise and I was ready to sell it back

 

[NCell]

They should say 'cap'

 

[VaultBoy101]

This is what I've been waiting on before I continue playing. Hope it comes soon.

 

[statham]

doesn't sound like its in this upcoming patch

[Jessie.Bristol]

I hope camera stutter is also fixed in the upcoming patch. I asked Marcin Momot on Twitter if the camera stutter was fixed in the patch but didn't receive an answer.

 

[MMaRsu]

Please fix the fps on the ps4 as well . The only bad thing about the game

 

[cakely]

Good. I hope it doesn't include that 20fps lock side effect seen on the PS4 version when it drops below 30fps

You do know that's just for cutscenes, right?

 

[Apoleptica]

Oh god I am so happy, thank you based cdpr. Is there an approximate date for when this patch will be released? And God I hope this fixes the frame pacing.

 

[jacobeid]

Sounds great! It would also be great to get consistent FPS on the PS4 version.

 

[M.W.]

I hope camera stutter is also fixed in the upcoming patch. I asked Marcin Momot on Twitter if the camera stutter was fixed in the patch but didn't receive an answer.

Yeah, the stutter is annoying.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Oh god I am so happy, thank you based cdpr. Is there an approximate date for when this patch will be released? And God I hope this fixes the frame pacing.

All we know is that the update has been in certification on PS4 and Xbox One. When they pass they will be put out. So it should be sometime this week.

 

[adamantypants]

They should say 'cap'

Ha! Accurate though

 

[Fredrik]

Good! Hopefully it really means _ locked _ this time. Pre-patch, how often does it go below 30?

 

[ohlawd]

yessssss

how soon is soon? need that patch in me

 

[Broank]

I honestly haven't had any problems with the frame rate so I hope this doesn't mess it up. Just hope they fix the annoying standby save bug, lost like an hour from that.

 

[RoKKeR]

Nice, will be doing this.

 

[xion4360]

You do know that's just for cutscenes, right?

well thats not true

when the framedrop drops it sticks to 20 fps for some length of time until it recovers, happens a lot indoors for some reason. Im sure it will be much improved once the patch hits.

 

[Apoleptica]

Good! Hopefully it really means _ locked _ this time. Pre-patch, how often does it go below 30?

On Xbox one it almost never goes below 30, it stays a bit above 30, but the unlocked framerate causes trouble with frame pacing and gives the game a slight stutter when panning the camera too quickly.

 

[ClayKavalier]

They should say 'cap'

Yeah, I'm not sure whether this means the game is 100% locked at 30fps, or just that it won't exceed that frame rate.

 

[Loakum]

Hopefully the PS4 will get a patch for the frame rate during cut scenes. The frame rate in that Griffin and young Ciri training scenes is Demon's Souls "Blighttown" bad!

 

[Wavebossa]

Oh god I am so happy, thank you based cdpr. Is there an approximate date for when this patch will be released? And God I hope this fixes the frame pacing.

That seems to be most important part.

30fps where every frame last 1/30ths of a second = Good

30fps where 1 frame last 1/3rd (10/30) of a second, and the other 29 have 2/3rds (20/30) of a second to fit in = Bad

Those of us with SLI/Crossfire feel your frame-pacing pain.

 

[Certinty]

Hope this is optional.

I'm very happy with the performance I'm getting with the game right now.

 

[thelastword]

Title is strange, surely you mean 30fp CAP. Lock implies it never falls below 30fps.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

I honestly haven't had any problems with the frame rate so I hope this doesn't mess it up. Just hope they fix the annoying standby save bug, lost like an hour from that.

Same. I noticed the issue during that early cut scene involving Vesemir, but since, I have over 50 hours logged in with no issues.

 

[darkwing]

he said lock not cap

 

[base shagohod]

Lol awesome.
Getting into a habit of quitting the app whenever I'm done playing then, I guess.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Thats awesome! If the game can run at locked 30 most of the times, doesnt make much sense to let it unlocked really. (Or uncapped, whatever term is the right one)

 

[AgentP]

Nice! Great to hear that they can get it locked to 30 on the Xbox One.

Now they better lock the PS4 to 30 as well. They vsync can cause sudden drops to 20 in cutscenes.

It's a cap, you can't lock anything, it's just bad weird choice. If the xb1 dips, it will go below 30.

 

[Apoleptica]

Title is strange, surely you mean 30fp CAP. Lock implies it never falls below 30fps.

Cdpr says it's a lock and I believe them. The framerate on Xbox one consistently stays above 30.

 

[psychotron]

Just want the frame pacing fixed on PS4. It's the only thing messing with this being one of my all time favorites.

 

[CaptNink]

Hope this is optional.

I'm very happy with the performance I'm getting with the game right now.

Same here.

 

[MaulerX]

Cdpr says it's a lock and I believe them. The framerate on Xbox one consistently stays above 30.

Exactly. If It's just a "cap" then I prefer they leave it the way it is. No issues for me.

 

[Caja 117]

Same. I noticed the issue during that early cut scene involving Vesemir, but since, I have over 50 hours logged in with no issues.

Im on the same boat, game runs as smooth as any Open world game I have played in the XONE.

 

[BeforeU]

Nice.

 

[Noobcraft]

Optional? I actually like having the game hit higher framerates in some areas (indoors) because it's noticeably smoother than it is when it hovers around 30 fps.

 

[thelastword]

he said lock not cap

Cdpr says it's a lock and I believe them. The framerate on Xbox one consistently stays above 30.

I know, that's why I suggested that he say cap since the xbone version falls below 30fps.

 

[Fortinbras]

Good. The performance is atrocious right now. I hope CDPR also fix the frame pacing soon.

 

[Skellig Gra]

so no actual patch notes yet?

 

[Fredrik]

On Xbox one it almost never goes below 30, it stays a bit above 30, but the unlocked framerate causes trouble with frame pacing and gives the game a slight stutter when panning the camera too quickly.

Sounds promising in that case, locked 30fps could almost make me consider the XB1 version over the PC version just to get to play it on the projector screen.

 

[RedAssedApe]

the big news is actually that they are increasing the font size for consoles. YIPEE

 

[Wagram]

Pretty big news for this version. Glad they're adding it.

 

[Kaimu]

Might be the wrong thread but I just got a patch for the witcher on ps4? Is it the new one already?

 

[RedAssedApe]

1.03 was in certification when the PC patch released last week and they said that takes about a week. look at the patch notes and you tell us what's in it
