Did they really need to save bitmaps alongside each save file? My folder was over half a GB and I wasn't that far in the game and mostly had autosaves... I don't even know how the heck this new engine inheritted issues they had with aurora, like the post combat delay until you can actually loot and interact with stuff... I hope some of this is because they rushed it and they'll actually fix it this time, because even the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher is super dodgy at times. Anyway, screw performance loss, I'm gonna play on high-ish settings, it has its ups and downs, I don't care the town gets occasionally slide showy, the game looks like mud with settings too low and never really improves meaningfully performance wise. Various areas here and there run better and even at 60 or more fps, it sucks when it gets to the low 20s but it's not too common and it's not in important gameplay bits so far. Unless it keeps getting worse I can live with that. The original had its fair share of stupid performance loss even on high end PCs due to its shitty engine, at least this time it does look sweet, a lot of the time, so it makes some sense that my aging system can't keep up with it at all times. Still disappointed but...
