Did it start happening when you left White Orchard? I've had like 3 crashes/freezes in the past hour or so. White Orchard was stable as fuck, I spent a lot of time there and had only 1 crash in like 10 hours of game time.

Me too, on PS4.
Game is a masterpiece as far as story, atmosphere, and immersion go. The combat is jank city and the frame issues on the PS4 are very noticeable when combating with multiple beasts or humans. That and the crashes is a sour note. Hopefully the upcoming patch addresses these issues.

yeah that was great. and they gave him cauliflower ear which i thought was a nice touch
Yep I also got the Jester chestpiece, its even more silly looking in cutscenes/
If that's the reason then I'm not too mad since I already got the loot.

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same on PC but on console if you go to your inventory then press right trigger it shows all sorts of stats such as vitality, etc. On the lower left it displays total play time.I'm happy I got this game at a pretty good deal, but man I hate that it's not a steam versionSeems like whenever I do finally manage to play a PC game, it's not a steam game, so it's adding nothing to my playtime, making it seem like my profile exists where I never play my games lol.
I'm also just curious how long I've played so far, but since I'm only using steam overlay, it's not keeping track.
Here. Sorry I can't be more specific right now, as I don't know the town's English name. So yeah to the right of the Red Baron's fortress, the litte town with a red square around it is the home of an amazing sidequest.

I have the same issue. I have another quest that does the same. Can find the notes.

The long reload times are making me hesitant to do anything more than 1 or 2 levels above me. I seriously counted a 1 minute 20 second load earlier today. Scarier than any of the enemies.
SSD or SSHD users on the PS4- What are your times looking like? Is it a Bloodborne kind of difference?

I'm at the Baron's and I've been trying to find wolfsbane. Can't seem to find it. Where's a good spot?
My Pleasure.
Same here. Everytime I come across a new village I'm super excited because I get to play for new cards with the mrchants. I can't even recall the last time a side mini-game got me.
It's awesome how the horse will go off to drink some water if he's near a trough.
Btw with noticeboards, you're supposed to take them all off right, even the ones you can't do anything about? I'm guessing that won't have knock-on effects would it? I mean it's pretty deep but surely not that detailed...

Anyone know where on the map you fight the werewolf in that "Wild something" side quest. I left when I couldn't figure out how to get him to stop regenerating like crazy so now that I know how I want to go back to fight him but when I track the quest I don't get a location anymore.
I just wanted you to know someone saw your post. I sensibly chuckled.

So can I sleep in inns or what ? I'm on the last difficulty; how do I regenerate health besides the Sun and Stars ability and food ?

My main source of healing is swallow potions. I think if you invest in the alchemy tree all types of potions heal you.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
So, what am I doing wrong? I'm about 8-10 hours into the game, and I seriously can't get past anything... even easy is giving me trouble.
Spoilers at the ~8hr mark: "Wandering in the Dark" Quest. Any input is appreciated:
I love the game! I just feel like I'm doing something REALLY wrong. The second game didn't give me near the same amount of trouble. I try to be slow and methodical, and it's just not helping.
Spoilers at the ~8hr mark: "Wandering in the Dark" Quest. Any input is appreciated:
1. So, the golem. I watch a Youtube video after dying 20 times in a row. Okay... use Yrden to slow the monster down. Use that enhancement for your sword by clicking down on the d-pad. Hit, roll, hit roll, hit roll... .... but the golem takes ONE swing, and half my health is gone. Two mistakes (getting caught on a rock, for example), and I'm dead. I bump it down to easy, and defeat him on my second try.
2. I get to Nithral. Again, on normal, I die a solid five times. Like... I'm doing no damage. I use Quen, which helps. But otherwise, seriously, I hit him with the fast attack and after 15 hits, I've barely scratched his health. Yes, I'm using the silver sword. So I try the strong attack as recommended elsewhere... and I get hit mid-swing pretty much every time.I get him on my first try on easy.
3. I'm CONSTANTLY poor. I feel like my armor is weak. I feel like my weapons are weak. But honestly, just by the time I repair what I have, I'm out of gold.I'm looting like crazy. I've gone on 3 or 4 sidequests... nothing crazy, but I'm not completely skipping them.
4. I'm BURNING through food in battle. I'm constantly out of bread and steak and whatnot. I meditate whenever I can... but in battle, I just can't keep my health up. One mistake, and I die... especially tough even in small encounters if there are multiple enemies.

Make a swallow potion and then you can make use of all the alcohol you've been picking up. Sadly I've finally ran out of alcohol in 30 hours.

What do I do with trophies after I've completed the quest? Should I just sell them?
You can but they give you special buffs if you equip them.

Love the game. One thing I don't like: the text around everyone's head prompting you to talk and telling you who they are. How do I make that go away? It's really distracting...it disappears and reappears a lot too.

Alright thanks. Also where can I get emerald dust? It's way too expensive to buy.

Have CDPR said anything about what's coming for the season pass? I've no idea where the end is and seen more than enough side quests to keep me busy for hours and hours, but I want more badly. This is the most fun I've had this gen!

Pretty sure it's in the HUD settings.
yyyyyyyyyyup, another freeze
this time no specific place. just roaming around on the open world on the second area
holy shit talk about annoying, specially after 15 hours of playing the game with absolutely 0 issues. Now I can't get through a half hour without it freezing
nothing specific, nothing to pinpoint as to why they could be happening
god fucking dammit

What's a good place to get a good silver sword? I still have the starting one and I'm at Velen with these stupid ass mob monsters on Death match. I'd rather avoid drawn out battles.
Do you mean you finished the game?
This is what it says:
Hearts of Stone, with an estimated ten hours of new content, will set Geralt off into the wilds of No Man's Land and the back alleys of the Redanian city of Oxenfurt as he struggles to complete a contract given to him by the mysterious Man of Glass. Blood and Wine will tack on another 20 hours of game-time in the new region of Toussaint, a land untouched by war but hiding "an ancient, bloody secret." Both expansions will add new adventures, equipment, enemies, and "characters both new and dearly missed."

What takes up inventory exactly?
I only know equipment does, but something's filling it up and I'm not sure what.

No, Im not even halfway done with Act 1 lol
It's so jarring hearing Iorveth's voice actor everywhere but I haven't found Iorveth at all. Every time I hear his VA on one of the millions of NPCs he voices I'm like omg it's Iorveth......nope.....just kidding. Same goes for Roche but Roche was easy to locate as he's integral to Temeria I guess.

Body armor and weapons are heavy. If you picked up junk weapons break them down at a blacksmith asap.
