The Witcher 3 - Vanilla
I'm about done with this game. For about three hours everything ran smooth as butter, then I was getting CTD's every couple minutes. I ended up removing the entire works and did a fresh install with a new save. The new file worked fine until I reached about the same spot. It's doing the exact same thing with no mods installed. I've tried every "fix" I can find on the internet from simple shit like disabling v-sync to running it in potato mode to ripping through the game files and changing things. I've never played a game that crashes this often, including Bethesda's messes. This can't be normal, the game is universally adored, but I can't even fast-travel.
I always feel bad when a game comes out and it's a complete shit-stain, but you can clearly see a lot of work went into designing the world and the NPC/items populating it. You have these artists that create everything from vehicles to simple background props and because the game they are in had no QC or worse, no actual game underneath, their work is often completely overlooked.
