Yeah same, figure it's some kind of hotfix.

Maybe a fix for achievements not working? Some still had issues even without using Console Commands (which now disable achievements if you modify something on the save you are playing on)

I did not see a notification, but I got 5 achievements or so.
Among those, two for finishing the game.
I'm on the Family Matters quest.
I think something might be wrong there.
LMAO, I've just checked and 2 of 3 are about completing the game, while I'm still in Skellige.

We're clearly too good at this game and it now recognized our abilities.LMAO, I've just checked and 2 of 3 are about completing the game, while I'm still in Skellige.

Is there a way to rollback previous manually installed patches without re-installing the game? I figure if each patch continues to consume 7GB going forward I should at least be able to uninstall previous patches before installing from the latest all-in-one binary.
Fantastic! I have a few mods in mind I'd love to see created with it.
It makes that ending so much sweeter, although I feel it would have been better not having the thought of a good/bad ending in mind during gameplay.

That's huge news, bigger than NG+ or anything else IMO. The sooner the mod community grows, the better. I honestly didn't expect them to get the tools out this quick.

It's not REDKit. It's just official support for model and texture mods, and script mods. Still no level editor.
Guys I have an issue. I have the witcher 3 in Ps4 and I can't seem to download the 1.08 patch. The patch is added on my downloads it says preparing to download goes to 3% then to 0% then like 2% then 0% and then says cannot download. When I click it says to download the content you must delete unnecessary content from system storage but I have 20 free Gbytes the patch can't be that big. Anyone has any clue whats going on?

Man, they really feed you the XP once you get to Kaer Morhen, don't they? I went up five levels in that part alone.

Ahhhhh, I wondered why it wasn't called REDkit, heh. Shows what I know about modding.
I have a few questions about the game, I don't know if this is the right place, but it would be awesome if you guys could answer!
1. The crafting and potion making is way over my head. Are there any important ones that I should be looking to make? And is it worth it to craft armor?
2. Selling stuff. What do I sell? Do I just sell any of the stuff that says it can be broken down into crafting components and then armor and weapons that is worse than what I have?
3. Is there an order I should be doing quests? I have played probably around 10 hours and I feel like I am pretty much only doing story quests. I'm level 5. Should I chill in Velen and do side quests for a while?
Thanks!

Just did the Passiflora Gwent quest and got that trophy. All that's left are the horse races (the Velen ones are bugged for me), the collect 'em all one, one quest related and finishing it on Death March. I'll save those for NG+.
1. Be sure to make Swallow (I believe you can get the recipe for that from the alchemist in White Orchard), that regenerates health and is great for combat. Thunderbolt is a good one to start with as well. Crafting armor is totally worth it. Find the Witcher Gear quests ( you can buy maps at vendors ) and craft Witcher Gear. Generally that's the best gear out there. Also, do not sell crafted Witcher gear as you need the older pieces to upgrade to newer pieces.
2. Mostly I sold weapons, armor and stuff in the junk category. You can also disassemble junk and weapons in order to get new crafting materials, armorers and smiths can disassemble gear and junk for you. I did not sell my alchemy ingredients, just hoard those because you will need them once you start brewing potions.
3. There is no particular order for doing quests. What I did was that I'd check which level was recommend for the currently open story quest I had and I did all side quests below that level. So for example, if Story Quest x has a recommended level of 7, I'd do all open sidequests I currently have below level 7. Level 5 is fine for Velen, check out notice boards for sidequests and exclamation marks on the map. Once you venture deeper into the world you'll come across plenty of sidequests. But for now, check notice boards.

Not really. I've completed all story quests in velen and it is pointing me to novigrad now. Yes I guess I wouldn't have seen some stuff about the baron etc but plot wise you realistically could go straight to novigrad.

They just announced that this is the only mod support TW3 will get, so REDkit is effectively canceled.

You could do that indeed (in fact, you can complete the three main questlines of Act One in any order you like, as long as the level requirement do not stop you in your tracks). Still, there is a specific reason why you'll need to have done the Velen main quest in order to progress in the main story later on. It will all make sense when you reach that point, but probably not before that.
boo the basement to the enhanced cat school trouser location is locked in my game, I've already finished the Get Junior quest many hours ago and I heard it's tied to that, is there another entrance to that place other than the house?
I could probably use the free cam mod to drop myself into the basement or something but the update broke the debug command and free cam, worst timing ever.

I may be one of the few who own the game on PS4 and PC. To recap, I got the game on PS4 when it came out, finally got around to getting started on it the other day, was very impressed by the game in general, but found the general framerate on PS4 to be distracting. Because of this, I got it on Steam. I ran an HDMI cable to my 42 inch TV and all works well. Newly exposed to Steam Big Picture mode, too -- This is a nice feature.
Anyway, the PC version is very very pretty. The PS4 version was too, but this is prettier. I have a core i7 4790k with an R9 290. I initially set the preset to "ultra" and found the framerate to be not ideal. I then tried turning off all the nvidia hair stuff while keeping everything else on ultra. Now it runs better -- Not a stable 60, I don't think, honestly, but I would say the average is well above 30. I'm currently debating whether I want to further tweak it or just leave it like this.

Well, there it is. Disappointing.
Among the mods I was hoping for was one that added switchable Roaches with permanent horse stables that could be bought in-game, among others. From the sounds of it the Modkit is fairly limited in that capacity.

Try shadows on medium and see if you can even notice a difference. After that, try foliage range to high if you want a few more frames.
I mean, it's not like I was going to grind them for 30 hours and get rich, just wanted to buy a couple of items there. what it's really annoying however is that the fucking Chort doesn't go away, I wasted 1 hour trying to advance the main quest because I had to talk with Vesemir and he just kept going after the Chort, both of them CAN'T DIE so that's it. tried to lure the Chort away, nope Vesemir is following, tried to meditate, nope still there to fight. thank god I had a recent save and somehow it worked.
GG great fix
also had a really strange bug which basically gave me all the White Orchard's blacksmith items for free. the Chort killed him at some point, then when I load the last save I just find a dead blacksmith body to loot and the actual blacksmith still alive doing his things at the same place.

What RandomSeed says is correct. Drop shadows to medium, foliage distance high, hairworks off, 1080p. On 970 that gets me constant 60fps, which feels wonderful. 290 should get very close or identical framerate.
The impact on graphics is almost unnoticeable, especially on TV.

Guy, I made it! I finished the game! After 3 months, I finally beat the game. At the end I felt a little bit like "I hope it is over soon", because I kind of felt exhausted. Returning to the point where the game started was nice, because it made me realize what a great journey this way. Amazing game, amazing atmosphere and for me maybe the best experience on the current gen.
Probably nobody cares about my post, but I needed to say that

I did this, and it's still not perfect. It's pretty smooth in one sense, but also I get stuttering as I travel and as things happen.
Any suggestions on what else to lower?
Worrying about multiple endings in games is what I do, doesn't detract from my enjoyment.

Just have Fraps running and lower settings one at a time to see what makes a difference. Try SSAO vs HBAO, foliage range, and shadows. High vs Ultra water did cost a few FPS on my old video card, so you can try that. You'll find that plenty of settings don't make much of a difference, so they can be high or ultra.
I had the same problem. I / Geralt actually got stuck in that mansion (.... dont ask) and used the fast travel command to get out of there. It broke the game because you NEED to walk out through main door for a very important cutscene to show up. Amongst those problems was that closed gate but it gets much worse...
Radovids favour never pop ups, Now or Never never did etc..
So if you by any chance also FT'D your way out of his house instead of walking out I can already tell you that you have to reload since crucial missions will not pop up later.
Ended up on just starting all over again. Level 12 now so all is going well. Still insane lack of money though.

Just did the Isle of Mists quest, Finally having Geralt reunite with Ciri was emotional shit. Also I just realized that the whole quest was a parody on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Did not pick up on that. Did that part way back in May, but I still remember it. Good stuff.

When you find a new notice board, most of the time there is five or six pieces of paper on the board, aka new quests. How come usually my quest log only gets one or two new quests after I visit the board? Is this a bug?
JohnnyFootball
GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Jesus fucking Christ these glitches bugs are getting old.
For some goddamn fucking stupid reason the game will not allow me to dive underwater.
I love this game so much, but holy fuck is this shit aggravating.

Some of those quest are just notices and such. For example: Baby born. goat needed, so and so is an asshole.

I assume you have latest drivers ?
Anyway check out this article:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-the-best-pc-hardware-for-the-witcher-3
Maybe you can set the game to PS4 settings:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Nvidia HairWorks: Off
Number of Background Characters: Low
Shadow Quality: Medium
Terrain Quality: Medium
Water Quality: High
Grass Density: Medium
Texture Quality: High (all GPUs tested here support ultra though so choose that)
Foliage Visibility Range: Medium
Detail Level: Medium
Ambient Occlusion: SSAO
All post-process effects on, except vignetting
And then increase stuff while monitoring framerate (steam has built in framerate counter, or use fraps) to check as it holds 60fps.

FINALLY finished Witcher 3!
Oh, so good. So good.
I don't know if I can find another RPG series to love like this. It has been a ride, Geralt.
Thanks CD.

Thanks. That settles it for me - I'll choose to play Witcher 2 before Witcher 3.

My playtime got to 116 hours before conclusion. More than half was dedicated just to the sheer amount of cinematic sidequests. Then when I caught up with those I dove into the main story. It was a long hold back (and I didn't even tackle all quests, only actively searched out ones including Contracts or Cinematics). 104 hours must mean you're having a great time! Haha. I really enjoyed my ending variations too and I'm sure you'll do the same.
