The Witcher 3

Corvo

Encountered my first bug. I'm well into the story in Velen and Novigrad, but went back to White Orchard to clear up the points of interest.

There is a settlement that needs to be cleared of ghouls, but I can't get them to show up at all. Further research shows this to be a common bug, and its really annoying as it is the last thing I need to do there.

Anyone else experience it?

It's towards the bottom of the map by the way.

Yeah I tried the same POI last night and couldn't get the ghouls to appear. Some people suggesting that leaving White Orchard breaks it so you have to do it before you leave at the start of the game.

Well, that sucks balls...

Patch 1.08 Notes
http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/54899-Patch-1-08-Notes?p=1870752#post1870752

PERFORMANCE:
Overall improvements to performance, including some issues that may have been caused by 1.07.



UI:
[Japanese Only][PS4 Only] Fixes an issue where the background text of certain books would flicker.
Fixes an issue where part of the Kaer Morhen map would not display properly.



GAMEPLAY:
Fixes a rare issue where items would disappear from the stash.
Fixes a very rare issue which would cause Geralt to get stuck when trying to run.
The interaction pop-up will no longer appear on lootable objects that are empty.
Fixes an occasional glitch in one of the dwarf combat animations.
Heads chopped off during finishers will no longer disappear.
"Players can perform a roll just before landing to significantly reduce the damage caused by falling.
We've added a tutorial pop-up window explaining this to make it clearer."
In patch 1.07, the level requirements for certain items were scaled up, leaving some players stuck with only unusable gear. With patch 1.08, we are introducing the Wolven Hour potion. This potion will be available in everyone's inventory once they install the patch. It will reduce level requirements on all gear for a period of one hour. This will give players time to level up or find alternative equipment using the gear that was available to them in patch 1.05 but became unusable after patch 1.07. After one hour, the potion's effects will cease and the requirements for all gear will revert to their original, pre-potion values.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to compare their items with ones sold by merchants.



ACHIEVEMENTS:
Players will now be able to complete the Card Collector achievement.
Achievements are now working properly again and will be unlocked if players meet their requirements after installing this patch (PC version).


GRAPHICS:
Fixes an issue where interiors would sometimes not display properly on the minimap.
Fixes an issue where certain world elements would sometimes be missing and noticeable visual glitches would be present while in Novigrad.



QUEST:
Fixes an issue where players were unable to finish the "It Takes Three to Tango" quest, even though they had obtained wine at the Kingfisher.
Fixes an issue where Geralt would sometimes die after traveling to Velen in the quest "Something Ends, Something Begins."
The entrance to the area where the Sunstone is obtained will no longer be blocked off if the player exits it prematurely during "The Sunstone" quest.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to complete the "Get Junior" quest on certain occasions.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to finish the "Scavenger Hunt: Viper School Gear" quest due to a closed gate.
Fixes an issue where some players were unable to investigate rooms during the "Family Matters" quest, effectively blocking their progression.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to finish the "Hey, You Wanna Look at my Stuff?" quest.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to talk to Roche during the "An Eye for an Eye" quest.
Fixes an issue where Roche would stay at his camp instead of going to the Oxenfurt Bridge in the "Get Junior" quest.
Fixes an issue where, under certain circumstances, Yennefer would not appear in Oxenfurt during the "The Great Escape" quest.
Drowners will have a harder time killing Nidas during the "Black Pearl" quest.
Fixes an issue which led to an infinite loading screen during the "To Bait a Forktail..." quest under certain circumstances.
Fixes a rare issue where the basement was locked during the "King's Gambit" quest.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to free the merchant during the Person in Distress event in the Claywich area.
The trolls at the Circle of Elements will no longer attack Geralt if he opts for a peaceful resolution.
Fixes an issue where players were unable to talk to Roche during the "Brothers in Arms" quest.
Fixes an issue where Zoltan's card was unobtainable.



GENERAL:
Preparatory features paving the way for the introduction of New Game + in the future.

Performance patch... I wonder if that means I'll be able to play @ 1080p now. Doubtful, though.

DeSelby83

I only got back to playing this today. Kinda left it a while ago until the patches came out. I was in crookback bog and the frame rate was so jittery. Is that normal or only for that area, it was raining too so that didnt help im sure

EDIT: just to clarify, im playing on ps4

brady12

Since the update mine been jittery at times too. Another patch coming out I think

Washington Irving

No FPS drops for me. Did experience some graphical glitches in Novigrad after 1.07 but that's it. On PC.

Grayditch

Finished it today. All types of side quests/contracts and treasure hunts done bar a few failures and glitched ones. Easily in my top 5 games of all time.

Absolutely love how the Masterclass Wolven armour and weapons set look. Think I might start again.

Robert ninja

It's doing that loading thing a lot more for me now. It used to almost never do it.

About to reach the

Isle of Mist

and have gotten to a point of no return. Got much left after that?

Interested Observer

Have had to restart the game, lost my save thanks to my own idiocy. Bumped up the difficulty this time to B+BB. Not getting your vitality back from meditating is a huge change, otherwise doesn't seem that much harder so far, but it's early days.

Thargor

Control niggles aside this is seriously the best game Ive ever played...

One thing annoying me though is the armour Im currently wearing, its hideous, red bows and all, but its the only decent armour Ive found. I tracked down the Griffin school armour and forged it, only to see its Lvl 11, Im only level 7 and it takes an age to level up. Is there any lower level decent armour around? The crap Im wearing now is ruining all the conversations for me as its so hideous but Im playing on hard so I need it...:D

It's that size if you haven't downloaded the previous patches. It adds on to the previous patch so it could say 7.3gb but is actually downloading 2.7gb

naughto

i have the other patches and it came up as 7.3 for me as well

Robert ninja

Downloading the update now. Will probably jump on tonight and see if they've reduced the loading pauses and improved the performance at all.

There is still a good bit to be honest. I'd say about 10 hours depending on how fast you play it. Few side quests only become available after this point too so depends if you do them [...which you should ]

Skerries

Just finished it, 150 hours all told with a few borked quests left and the collect all the Gwent cards mission

I got an ending I was happy with so now to sleep

brady12

I'm just gone to skellig now .am I only around half way into main story ?

Thargor

Im being pushed towards Skellige now aswell at lvl 15 but I still have loads of Witcher contracts ranging from lvl 23 to lvl 30 to do, without spoilers please, am I coming back to Velen eventually to do them later? I assume I am seeing as there are whole other cities and what seems to be a massive army camp in the East on my map that I haven't even been to yet...

Do I just head to those places myself now before Skellige?

Evade

Once you get there you can fast travel between Velen / Novigrad and Skellige.

Thargor

Thanks, they really need to sort out the questlog tbh, why no "Sort by Location"? There are 10-15 year old RPGs with that feature!

About 35-40% if I remember right.

The top quest in you list is always the closest one to your current position
