The official Witcher 3 thread

Mmmm

2 hours into the game, the audio is amazing...pretty much have my headset on full (Might go deaf) the whole time.
Graphics wise...Its ok, not groundbreaking and nowhere near as good as the 2013/14 clips we were shown. The word downgrade comes to mind but I think that might be a little kind...Everything and I mean everything looks different to what we saw. Performance wise I have the game completely maxed out @ 4K on a single Titan X and I haven't had any frame drops ect an it runs smooth, some in game clips I've noticed stuttering but I think its the driver or the game that needs sorting out.

Game play is awesome, its nowhere near as clunky as the previous witcher games, in fact it's pretty smooth most of the time. The game is a little easy though...so I may crank up the difficulty.

Its far to early to give my full thoughts on the game but so far its been great.

Reading through this Graphics, Performance & Tweaking Guide. Surely if you optimize your game using the nVidia Experience this will tweak it accordingly (or am I wrong)?

And secondly, will things like Hairworks and what what make a big difference on frames per second?

From that article you linked, it looks like it will have a huge impact. The example they give is running at 2K at all max settings with a TitanX in SLI and the frame drop from no hair effects to all enabled looks more than 20 fps. That's massive.

2nd one from the top lol Can't remember the name, but I'll drop down to the 2nd last one.

I have to say I haven't messed with the Nvidia tweaks yet, I'm not sure how much difference they'll make though...I honestly doubt they could bring back the dark and real look the game had (Seeing as the lighting has been gutted).

There'll no doubt be something from the community that will fix this, something like the Dark Souls DSfix I'm sure.
 
Just got my copy! :D

For the retail PC guy's, don't forget to check the compendium. There's a code to unlock one of the Witcher comics by DarkHorse.

Mmmm can't do much about the lighting, they literally gutted it and changed it completely...not something that can be changed easily. Not with a patch at least.
 
Finally managed to get my connection stable enough to get the launch day update started. 2-odd GBs with the first 2 DLCs and the other digital goodies - soundtrack, art book, map.
 
Ok well 1st 2 hours I had no issues, now I've had 3 crashes in the space of 20min...Game needs work, I expect another patch in the next day or so because there is def something wrong with a certain section in the game.
 
A "downgrade" for smoother gameplay; I assume this is catering for all types of systems, lower and higher range.
 
reminds me of what happened to watchdogs

If CDPR didn't cater for the "shitty consoles" I would not have been able to play the game now. I'm very happy with how the game looks and runs on PS4 and I'm gonna be spending some serious time getting lost in this world.

totally agree :) Although i'm playing on PC, and i don't really feel like its been downgraded. plus, i happen to own those "shitty consoles". and surely you guys can understand the position CDPR were in? you could not expect them to just develop for PC only and ignore the revenue streams from consoles? would you guys have been happier if they did this, and then went bust and we Cyperpunk did not get made ?

honestly, i think that there is WAAAAAAY too much emphasis put on GFX. everyone just needs to take a step back and enjoy the game for all the other awesome aspects it has going for it :)
