Patch 1.08. (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

Because 1.7 turned out to be wildly crooked, they promise to cut 1.8 faster
engThe next patch will be arriving quite soon. Please check the list of changes below.

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.

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.

In patch 1.08, we are introducing the "Hour of the Wolf" potion. This potion will be available in everyone's inventory as soon as the player installs patch 1.08. This potion reduces the level of requirements for all weapons and ammunition for one hour. This will give players time to level up or find and use alternative weapons and equipment that were available to them after patch 1.05, but were no longer available for use after patch 1.07 was installed. After one hour after use, the effects of the potion will disappear and the requirements for all types of weapons and equipment will return to their original values, which were before the use of the "Hour of the Wolf" potion.

Hello everyone, when the witcher came out, I immediately installed it, but the fps was from 12 to 15 and I decided to wait, all of a sudden it would get better. And just yesterday I downloaded it again and launched it, the fps was the same, I decided to rummage through the forums, downloaded a special program for fine-tuning the game. I set the texture resolution to 0.5 k, the resolution was set to 1280: 480, well, almost everything was set to a minimum, on the forums they wrote even with the worst fps systems increased by 7-10, so I go into the game and fps grew by 2. I honestly screwed up (although the computer is weak, but people who have weaker growth are not small). Okay, I decided to remove the grass, they also said that the performance increased, but ... shit, 16-18, I just deleted the chapel. everything worsened, rocked different programs, etc., well, no matter how it goes. Then, for the sake of experiment, I turned on nvidia haiworks, they said it burns at least 15 frames ... dick there,fps dropped 2 frames, according to the idea I had to show 2 frames. Here is what it could be, a system requirements check or something else, who knows?
My characteristics.
Prots-intel pentium b960 2.20 ghz two cores.
Video nvidia gt720m 2gb
RAM 6gb
Windows 10 pro 64 bit
I repeat, even with the worst computers, the game runs in 25-30 frames.

Old_Nick 13.12.21

2 cores ?! And most importantly - gt720m ?!
Kefryk ".. even people with the worst computers play in 25-30 frames ....." - the one who told you this insolently sleep ..... l

Sorry, but I trust my friend!) I know that the computer is shit, but still!

Old_Nick 13.12.21

For 25-30fps at the "minimum minimum";) and a resolution of 1366 × 768, you need 4 cores, 6GB of RAM and video from GTX460 - GTX650ti. You have 2 kernels and vidyah on stationary level GT440 - GT630 - i.e. 2 times worse!
Taking into account the even greater reduction in resolution - 18-20fps in an open field - the limit, I assure you, in the swamps - even less, and in the city - 10-13

video cards below 800 series will not pull above 20 frames (checked personally). The processor is weak ... It would be at least under 3.00 GHz. Your limit is 15-20 frames (I will not say anything about "in the city"). On Core 2 duo e6750 3300 GHz, operational 16 GB, gtx 980 - 40-50 frames (minimum settings), 28+ (maximum); on i7 4770 3600 GHz, 16 GB, gtx 550ti - 50+ frames at maximum (Full HD resolution). Especially Win 10. The processor decides in this game. Trust the "storytellers" more about lifting at least 10 fps when using "superconfigs". Moreover, after patch 1.07, the processor will strain even more - you can easily burn it, this is not Core for you (it will not throw off the temperature itself).

And discard the characteristics of the computer of a friend whom you believe.

You did not understand what I was writing about, if the graphics are deteriorated, for example, to the level of the first witcher, then personally my fps has not changed, but my friend and other people have an increase with the deterioration of the graphics. That's what I wrote about. I'm not saying that at the minimum without degrading the graphics on the meme bucket, the game will run at 25-30fps)

"I repeat, people with even the worst computers play in 25-30 frames." - I think I understood correctly. Processor-dependent game, don't worry. The video card can be at least 512 MB, but with a powerful processor you will see the cherished 30 frames.

OOO, I meant that on computers it is worse than mine with improved graphics, the game goes at 25, well, at 30 I went over but at 25 for sure;)

And by the way, my percent load is 65% and vidyuha is torn from the strain!

1948865 you confuse nothing? On the contrary, it is a video-dependent game, which is pronounced on laptops.

Kefryk 13.12.21

So no one knows what I can do (except how to buy a computer). Maybe the system requirements check does not allow raising fps, or what?

Please do not confuse laptop hardware with stationary / desktop hardware. Many people go too far - the point is that you give people an incentive for unnecessary research on the topic: "FPS can really be raised by 10k / s by manipulating cfg files," knowing that this is unrealistic. "Give an example of a configuration with such an increase.
Andrex77
You have the same answer - I ask you not to even compare video cards of different type / architecture (550 and 550m are comparable?) The Witcher 3 simply refuses to work on laptop adapters (I don’t know who is to blame, the Poles or the green / red ones). I don't confuse anything ... I compared it on purpose, because there are a lot of conflicts here - I wanted to help, and there was something to compare - my old man Core 2 Duo E6750 is still breathing)) For maximum settings, you need only 1600-1700 MB of video memory + adequate bus not lower 192 bits at least.

Yes, not who and does not confuse, according to the idea if from the third witcher to make the first by worsening the graphics, then the performance should grow, and I do not go further than 18.
And I also noticed weak video cards are always loaded and there is practically no disk, but on more powerful (laptop video cards) everything is evenly distributed, that is, one does not load and the other rests!
