The Witcher III: Blood & Wine |OT| One last contract, one last plough

Love the new UI on PS4. Best part about it is that it's snappy and fast, my main issue with the old one was the delay. The new Maps are also far, far superior in terms of ease of use.
 
You guys on PC with PlayStation button prompts... it's probably a mod that isn't compatible with 1.2 yet, since that is not in the game natively. Using a quick sign casting mod? That is one that adds it I believe.

the game has native support for DS4 with playstation prompts (make sure you dont install any 3rd party software for DS4). ive never modded the game. but the update broke it.
 
While the new patch is awesome, I still yearn for an update to have a "medium" UI size, at least on the PS4.

The large UI option feels like I can hardly see anything of the world with the huge map display and such. The small UI option on the other hand, has a lot of "is this for ants?" text for me personally (from where I have to sit), like the quest goals under the map. For now I make do with the small UI size, so that my glasses do get their use from time to time.

I knew about native support, but I had no idea they added the correct button prompts. That's damn cool....hope they fix it soon, then.
 
Anyone on PC getting a couple second delay with the new UI when clicking on the alchemy ingredients tab in the inventory? I have 100's of things in there and it doesn't show up immediately like the other ones.
 
Does the game "lag" slightly in the inventory for anyone else? In particular it happens with Crafting Components and Quest Items/Others, where it sorta freezes for a bit before loading everything. Not that big of a deal, but a bit annoying nonetheless.

Also, why in the world did they not make it so decoctions and potions were separated? As in, all potions before decoctions or viceversa. I don't get it at all.

EDIT: Ninja'd :D

Yup, same thing happens to me due to the hundreds of random mutagens and notes I collected during the game.
 
It's strange (and disappointing) that the preload isn't up on GOG, especially with how big the expansion is.
Well, I'm 22 minutes into 31st May 2016 and GoG Galaxy is not downloading it for me yet.

Don't tell me I have to wait until American time?!

I'm in bed anyway, but it's the PRINCIPLE!
 
Finally got the collectem all trophy while preparing my game for the next dlc!

I wont even need that cad tracker that is supposed to come with the patch.

Now I just need the annoying poison/bleed/buring one and the headshots one and the platinum will be mine!
 
Man, yet another game to add to my 2016 list (Dark Souls 3, Overwatch, Dishonored 2, Civilization 6, Doom). What the hell am I going to do with myself.
 
So did the new patch kinda...break the game for anybody else?
I played TW3 for 110 hours and haven't encountered a noteable bug, but in the 15 minutes I played with the new patch I ran into numerous unloaded textures, "outran" my map, saw doors floating in nothing etc.
Also conversations now have a weird "fade-out" effect for me that looks....bad and the load times are way worse than I remember.

Also the interface for the books section is really weird, kinda not that helpfull.
 
Just re-installed the game and the UI overhaul is amazing - 1.21 PC version

There is a slight delay to opening inventory and alchemy though. I gotta sell some stuff.
 
For info, the download isn't just ready for Xbox One season pass holders - the expansion is. After download it activates in game, I'm playing now.

heh, on ps4 i had a lot of stutters back then when they released a big patch or for HoS cant remember but closing it then restarting my ps4 seemed to fix it like it needed to "settle in".

so before leaving for work i booted up the game after the patch was done, checked my character if everything was okay, ran around Velen, closed it and restarted my ps4.

everything looked ok though, just a bit sluggish opening the map and some other tabs in the menu.
 
The new inventory is shit. The delayed tooltips make finding the right potions and oils a nightmare because you have to wait for it to display instead of having the info there immediately as before.

Ffs, the game was fine and now they've fucked it up.
 
Pre-ordered the physical edition for tomorrow and will prepare/play around a bit with the new patch (gwent time!). Can't wait!
 
wow no preload, okay, great.

okay... i need help. I just updated on GOG and my game crashes on launch, every single time.



"the witcher 3 has stopped working"

why!

I did them both this weekend in Devils Pit. Didn't take as long as I thought it would.
 
Did update 1.21 raise the level cap on PC? I'm level 70, but I just got a notification that I got some experience points after doing a treasure hunt quest
 
New UI changes are really nice!

... Did this update change my level or XP or somethin'? I'm 39, same as before, but the XP value doesn't seem right.
 
I got the gwent book. It says I need to apply magic to see the cards missing in my collection. Is the magic found in BaW expansion only?
