It'd be really cool if in 2016 PSN download speeds weren't complete ass.

Joke post?
I'm addition to the patch causing the weird XP thing (went from just having hit level 24 to having 2000/2000 exp on level 24), I'm missing random sound effects. There's no sound effects when:
- casting signs
- completing a quest
- gaining EXP
- gaining a level
- looting items from chests/bodies/etc
Anyone else had this happen?

I'm so excited to play this! The Witcher 3 and Hearts of Stone are by far the most rewarding gaming experiences I have had this generation so far.

Nah, this is the total size of all patches, the last time this was ~16GB. The physical download will be only the difference between patches.
Huh. Guess I'll go cut down a few Drowners to get to level 40 real quick then.

Really? It has been downloading for over an hour and it didn't go down until now. Also, the download bar is still at the beginning. I hope I'm wrong.

Someone will have to check things out when they get to a part where you control
. Getting hit during Blink now. Not good on death march.

On PS4 here, the update was definitely not 19 GB for me.

Really kind of frustrated that for all of the inventory improvements they have implemented a proper dynamic HUD (it should fade out of combat even if I'm not at full health) and a 3D quest marker in Witcher Sense so I don't need to keep going to the World Map to find out where to go. Looks like I'll be waiting for Friendly HUD to update before continuing on.

Man, that new UI is slick. Glad the update finally went up and I could test this stuff out.
Update was something around 2.19 Gb.
2.728GB for me in the UK.

I'm also on ps4, can you please tell me the size of the game now (on your console)?
In 7 hours.
I know there is a mod that does it but I would actually love an official 3D quest marker. I play with the minimap off so it would be great to have something that gives a general sense of direction but still lets you keep your eyes on the world and pick your own path to get there.

It takes 45 minutes to download 2,7 GB? Thanks Sony. For the players.
I can't even pause it because it would take another 20 minutes for the patch to continue downloading.

UI overhaul is great. I get more invested in the monster fights when getting to the bestiary/potions are so painless. Level scaling is fantastic. I understood why people didn't want it due to Bethesda backlash, but it really keeps the world a little more interesting when your actions keep your character growing.
I still wish you could alphabetize the books.
Anyone know where the Gwent book is to tell you which cards you're missing and where to get them?

Why would it be? NG+ continues on the level ladder.
55.20 GB for me. Patch installed but no B&W. UK PS4.
EDIT: Took 20 mins on a 50Mbps connection for anyone interested.
merchant near St. Gregory's Bridge in Gildorf district of Novigrad.
Port to the bridge then go down from it and left. Should see a store.

It's dependent on location maybe? Took me about 2.5 hours to download the full 20GB patch. UK
Probably depends on how much shit you're carrying around. Might not be that optimized yet.
Probably my most anticipated feature. The fights are just more fun and engaging when they aren't trivially easy. Definitely enabling that ASAP.

Unless I've missed something it just lists what region the cards you're missing are in. Eg,
Velen- 3
Skellige- 5

At the shop where you bought the Jade statue quest item, near the St. Gregory's bridge in Novigrad...
That's what I'm seeing too. It's not super helpful tbh, there's a lot of land to cover to find ALL of the cards.

A lot of them are random drops from innkeepers so you got to cover that land anyway.
I wanted to throw my console out the window when I had 1 left and was lapping the maps multiple times.
Shit, got my limited edition from Mediamarkt and I can't redeem the code. Guess they're not unlocked yet?!
Nope, codes unlock at 1am CEST.
I had 1 left today, literally found it on my first fast travel haha.

Look up guides for Death March Alchemy builds. Alchemy is OP in this game.
Wear cat school gear, put severance on both swords, talent up to rend.
Rend everything. Repeatedly. Don't try to pull off huge rends, just hold it long enough to get the rend off and spam it.
Have fun hitting everything in the game for 10k+ over and over.
Thanks.

Another bug I've found is that if you look at your stat screen, say for the armor/resistances you get, then swap your armor, it doesn't update the info unless you exit and reopen the menu. :/
Went to get the Gwent book from the Novigrad merchant. He has one of the figurines for sale from one of those statuette quests, I thought I had done them all, what gives? He also has 2 other quest items of which I'm fairly sure I did the related quests. Common bug that he just keeps selling these?

Patch must've not been that big, someone in here said like 12 GB and I was like "whaaaaaaaaaa" but no, it must've been way less because I left it downloading for less than an hour in sleep mode as I did some chores, came back and it was done.
Now I just wait for the game to unlock in 6 hours and 12 minutes.

BW is 12 gb. Patch would be less.

The new UI makes me enjoy the game so much more and makes me want to do everything. That probably sounds silly but now that things are less obtuse, easier to read and less of a slog to go through I'm already enjoying myself plenty more, the increase of color and size in the menu is definitely welcome!

The predownload for the expansion is 12gb

yeah slipped my mind since I preloaded it in the background this weekend as I was doing other shit.
Y'all are making me want to start the game real quick and see the new UI, but I figure I'd only look at the UI, might as well wait for the game to be out.
