well, a controller is certainly the better way to to play the game :) but yeah, i also experienced a couple crashes last night. had to switch Power Mode to always, and that seems to have fixed the issues.

I dunno everything has been fine for me except for the crashing issue that I managed to fix. Also I started out using a controller, but it felt so disconnected from the character so I switched to M+KB and it felt a whole lot better for me.
So far I think it's a fantastic RPG.
I'm surprised no one is really bringing up the clearly obvious facade, or are we the only ones experiencing these issues. You'd think the media would be all over this!

I'm actually surprised at how well the game runs, given that I'm pushing Highs and other postprocessing features. Have not run into any issues yet, but I am still only in the first town, things probably will change. Even in the beginning, glancing over the horizon, game ran really smooth. :)
I'm finding it difficult to complete side-missions as I'm always distracted by the environment. :o
Note: not running in 1080p yet as my monitor does not natively support that resolution.
Note: not using a controller (tried), as it turns out the Left analog pushed down has issues; needs to be depressed really hard to register :(.
I will probably have to buy a new controller if I so desire to play using a controller, which I do.
For me, a game that does not require accuracy has decent controller support I tend to like to play using one.
What facade? That the game doesn't look "Next-gen"?Quote:

1st is the cut scenes.
go to your config file at "Documents\The Witcher 3\user.settings",and open it with notepad. then search for "MovieFramerate".
change the 30 to 60 and save.
you now have 60fps max cut scenes.
Not only that and the obvious "downgrade" debacle. I won't go as far as to say the game is broken, but it is in definite need of attention as there are clearly broken elements. The fact that this game was clearly developed with console in mind as it appears it was prioritized in development, and it shows!Quote:

i'll start playing this weekend, its sad that crysis from 2007 has better graphics than a title from 2015.
lol guys are acting like I am the Anti-Christ but you have to see the issues with the game.
As [MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] said, the game is a console port...a poor one. [MENTION=96]Isengard[/MENTION] Yeah I figured out the whole cut scene 30fps shit.
The game is great and I am enjoying the actual story and quests and the audio but they let pc gamers down badly.
Here are a list of compiled fixes, welcome to PC gaming / ports...
Micro stutters on nVidia Cards.
Laggy in-game cutscenes.Quote:
Nvidia Control Panel- Witcher 3 profile- set max pre-rendered frames to 1, apply.
Game crashes randomly or hangs in inventory.Quote:

Want hairworks on with less fps impact.Quote:
Turn off the frame limiter in the games graphics options
Get rid of annoying controller detected message box.Quote:
Go to: installation directory\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\base → rendering.ini
search for: HairWorksAALevel and change it to 2 or 4 for a significant boost.
Quote:
Go to your Witcher 3 folder location and go into this folder:
"...\The Witcher 3\bin\config\base"
Open up "hidden.ini" with notepad.
Change "LockControlScheme=0" to "LockControlScheme=2"
This will get rid of the annoying message box and will always show the controls for the controller. You still can switch to your KB/M whenever you want, but it won't display the KB/M controls on the hud.

Thanks, will try those fixes out tonight.
And guys, please don't get me wrong. I am in no means hating on the game or CDPR. Like I said and as [MENTION=21]The Joker[/MENTION] states, the game is amazing if you remove yourself from the obvious problems (unfortunately you can't). I am really getting engrossed in the story and atmosphere (then it crashes), but it could have been better.
