Can you buy the Gwent book anywhere?

I found it in Novigard from the merchant who sells the potion of clearance.

 

[zkorejo]

Wow.. really?. Gwent book doesnt help at all.

I found it in Novigard from the merchant who sells the potion of clearance.

There was also a wine from touissant for sale. Marked as quest item, make sure to grab it as well.

 

[Typicalrik]

From memory, there's only 3 people there who have cards. The Inn keeper, the merchant you save at the start of the game and the dude sitting at one of the tables in the inn who teaches you how to play.

Then I'm hoping it's a bug showing I still have one left? I seriously don't want to start a new game again, because I started this one fresh a week ago to prepare for doing the dlc and plat trophy! A full weeks worth of playing would suck!

 

[brandonh83]

Stuuuupid question, again haven't played in a few months so don't really remember everything. I found a guarded treasure in White Orchard, it won't let me open the chest and there's some kind of toxic cloud around the chest that makes him cough a bit. I tried using Igni and bombs on it.

The update installed without any problems this morning, but I didn't realize that Blood and Wine wasn't already queued to download as a result of my expansion pass purchase back when the game was first released. No problem, there are a few hours left before it unlocks on PS4, right?

"Cannot download" after about 2/3rds of the download completed. Multiple retries yielded the same results. Just restarted the PS4, and it looks like it's back on track but it gave me quite the scare for a moment!

I don't think that's new. I've actually got three now after buying that one. Not sure what it was for though.

 

[dlauv]

I'm missing one card in Skellige that belongs to Madman Lugos.

Is there any other way to get it?

 

[zkorejo]

I see. Maybe it was for the main quest/HoS then.

 

[Zolo]

This site's also good if the book isn't good enough. It's what I used before B&W.

http://www.gwentcards.com/

Can maybe use it in conjunction actually.

 

[beinfilms]

Damn it, I still haven't finished my B&B playthrough. I guess I'll have to play through the expansion twice. What a shame.

Colours of the base armours have really changed with 1.21, to accommodate the dye system.

Griffin - like them both the same.
Wolf - like the new one.
Cat - like the old one.
Bear - slightly prefer the old one.
Viper - like the new one.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I actually like the bear armor with the red. I was going to transform it to black and red or white and red anyways.

 

[CHC]

I do REALLY hope they add dyes outside Touissant in the future though. Replays would be cool if you could dye your armor from the start. I appreciate that the quest is contextual but it seems like something they could just give to regular armor smiths without a real issue.

What do you mean? I thought the dye system was added via patch and not through the expansion?

I'm still in wild hunt, so I won't be able to dye my armor if I haven't started blood and wine yet? (I have it installed already)

It's added via patch but you have to do some of the blood and wine content to unlock the option, I believe.

From what I understand it's exclusive to a guy in Touissant and its tied into a quest. Like I said I appreciate how CDPR contextualize new stuff they add in patches, but it would be great if we could do it earlier in the future.

 

[roytheone]

Ugh. The new UI is a nice improvement, but it broke a mod I had that would start all categories in the alchemy menu closed instead of open. That's annoying. Any way to set it so that they start closed?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

So, nobody else having those issues? Is it just me? Playing on PC.

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.

Did you use Extended HUD Config? If so, there was an update today for 1.2. I just finished updating what mods I could and uninstalling what couldn't, and Extended HUD seems to work fine now.

I wouldn't want to live without collapsed tabs, either.

So, nobody else having those issues? Is it just me? Playing on PC.

Did you verify your game files? Sounds like missing or corrupted files might be your issue.

 

[Elysium-777]

Ok even though this game is 100% complete,

is still at Kaer Morhen where the

Did this happen pre-patch?

She should have went away with

Happened pre-patch as well.

Are you sure you put the code in correctly?
Which plattform are you on?

No, I'll try that.

Damn that sucks.. Understandable though, I guess.

Makes me wonder.. Can you do a NG+ after beating Blood and Wine, keeping the ability to dye armor from the beginning of the new game+?

 

[Mogwai]

Is the game supposed to fade out and load at each dialogue option at the bonfire in the beginning?

I'm on PS4 and still downloading some content. Maybe that's why?

 

[Bots are better than you]

DL is no problem, i can't even redeem the code, and in Germany, it's 9:30 pm already. ^^

Are you sure you put the code in correctly?

Yes, i'm absolutely sure, the code is pretty simple and readable as good as it gets. PS4

 

[brandonh83]

At a loss, still showing I need 1 Gwent card in White Orchard but nobody seems to be playing or selling. I know you could originally miss some from the scholar/innkeeper but I thought they patched the ability to get those cards back in.

 

[diamount]

Does anyone know how this works with preloading on GOG? I preordered but I'm not sure if it's downloaded anything.

GOG doesn't have any preload function, unfortunately.

Any idea which card you are missing?
That book they patched in really isn't that helpfull....
It says I'm missing 4 cards in Velen but 13 overall? So I just have to find merchants I haven't played against which is a PAIN IN THE ASS

 

[Rellik]

Yeah. Those you could miss were added to the merchant who you saved at the start of the game and is now standing at the bridge.

Hope for you guys it's not a bug.

And as the post above says. It will help if you can find out which card you're actually missing.

 

[brandonh83]

Any idea which card you are missing?

No idea. But, I assume I should be able to get it somewhere in White Orchard if it's telling me I'm missing one there.

Yeah. Those you could miss were added to the merchant who you saved at the start of the game and is now standing at the bridge.

Checked, he had nothing.

 

[Azzanadra]

Is the game out now? Nothing seems to be downloading on my Steam... can we at least pre-load it?

On Xbox, others here in a few hours.

I wish there was an option for pre-loading at least... my internet speed is 600kb/s on a GOOD day...

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I looked up which cards I'm missing and they are all cards I randomly get from beating guys at Gwent. The game still tells me there are 4 cards in Novigrad but I'm missing 13 cards. That book thing might just be bugged.

If I were you look up all the cards that are missable and if you have them...maybe find some merchants to play against? Collecting those cards is really a pain in the ass....

 

[brandonh83]

Yeah, looking into it now. Would definitely help narrow it down at least.

Says there are 3 decoys, 2 catapults, 3 blue stripes commandos. I have Zoltan, Foltest (Commander of the North) and Crinifrid for sure.

According to this these are the cards in White Orchard.

Neutral:
Decoy

Northern Realm:
Crinfrid Reavers Dragon Hunter
Catapult
Blue Stripes Commando

Leader Deck:
Lord Commander of the North
The White Flame Dancing on the Graves of His Foes

I lost my original save file. Thinking about starting a new Heart of the Stone only file. Anyone know if that character file will be able to do Blood and Wine quests?

you can't use the heart of stone guy for other shit as far as I'm aware, but this DLC should also give the option to play it with a level appropriate Geralt though.

 

[brandonh83]

Going by my deck, looks like I'm missing a catapult! Each card tells you how many you have, and everything else checked out but my catapult card says x1 catapult.

 

[MattyG]

I lost my last save (level 20ish, almost to

Spoiler

Kaer Morhan

. I'm only level 11 but up to Skellige (the

wake

quest). I'm on medium difficulty, but I kind of just want to wrap the story up so I can get to Hearts of Stone and this.

Should I turn the difficulty down? Would turning the difficulty down to easy allow me to breeze through the story without really being concerned about levelling?

 

[Rellik]

Going by my deck, looks like I'm missing a catapult! Each card tells you how many you have, and everything else checked out but my catapult card says x1 catapult.

Catapult Purchased from Trader – White Orchard Gwent Quest: Collect ‘em all! Innkeeperess, White Orchard Tavern

Catapult Purchased from Trader – Novigrad Gwent Quest: Collect ‘em all! Store Trader, Passiflora

So yeah, if you have 1, that's the 1 you're missing.

I'd check the Novigrad one out incase the book is mistaking the wrong Catapult card.

 

[brandonh83]

Nope, was wrong, I removed a catapult from my active deck and it went up to x2. Still trying to figure out what I'm missing.

 

[epmode]

Was the water improved with the patch? Looks pretty good on Ultra (PC).

 

[Audioboxer]

12 missing cards in skellige and 6 misc

No idea where to start in skellige after having last played this game in November 2015 lol.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

The only thing making me regret buying the Limited Edition from GAME is that it's out in around 3 hours where I am on Steam and I still haven't got it delivered yet. Is it because it's a bank holiday in the UK? But, Gwent cards... I NEED THEM

 

[SugarDave]

Not sure if there actually is an improvement but I thought this too. The water around Oxenfurt seemed to look a lot more blue and vibrant.

Sounds like you may have to cross reference every card with that website until you find the one you're missing. I had to do that when I was missing 1 and eventually found it was some random card in Skellige.

Innkeepers are usually a good place to start. Purchasing from and winning from.

 

[Anton Sugar]

EDIT: Posting on new page, sorry.

 

[Plum]

Locked the game to 55fps, OCed my graphics card and implemented all fixes. Finally im playing the game relatively smoothly.

When are we expecting the PC version to be out? Is it a global release or a midnight at where you are release?
