Support NeoGAF

I think it's the only PS5 game that I've had freezing on me regularly.

That's the thing... sometimes it does, other times it doesn't.

It's just an odd problem. Sent another ticket to CDPR support, but now with clips. I have no idea how this works or if the devs ever see it, but I know that if I was the lead graphics artist/engineer I would be disappointed to see this glitch ruining all my work. As Vick put it, it's an amazing looking game when it works, the modded textures + great HDR and vast draw distances are crazy, all at a great IQ. Hope they can fix it someday

I admire your dedication but they don't give a fuck. They know very well about this glitch and it's been more than a year. They would've fixed it by now if they cared. I'm not even sure even a single employee is working on this game anymore.
I was thrilled to play blood and wine, which I've heard is the best expension ever, but alas I won't because of this damn glitch. I'll wait for the witcher 4 now lol

still no solution?

Apparently, it's fixed when playing on the pro.

I’ve been cross playing this on PC and PS5 recently and I’ve noticed no issues on my PS5. I do have a Pro but I can’t see how that would make a difference.

OP is playing the PS4 version of The Witcher 3 on PS5, the PS5 version doesn't do this, only the PS4 version on the PS5.

 

[Puscifer]

Yep, that's the reason why I haven't played the blood and wine extension where vegetation pop in is imo more visible. It's quite visible in Skellige too, not so much in Vellen.
I heard it's a ps5-only issue, that's really disappointing to see that they haven't, and will likely never, address it because it really ruins the immersion.

Unrelated, but Death Stranding has vegetation pop in after the directors cut which is bizarre to me since the original on PS4/PC has a draw distance that feels like it absolutely shouldn't be possible.

Its even more bizarre. PS5 Pro fixes it for some hardware reason, but with the PS5, select PS5s dont have this glitch.

I has 2 base models, one launch and one from 2021, both exhibited this glitch. Some peoples base consoles just dont have this and I'm 100% sure about this.

And no, not playing the PS4 version on the PS5, not a dense person.

Its the most random bug I think Ive ever seen. But so so Glad that the PRO absolutely fixes this.

You should buy Xbox Pro with Win 11 instead!

still no solution?

There is no problem. I just played PS5 version over the past few days and it's flawless. (OG launch console)

I'd say after playing the expansion for a good 10 hours that it's mostly fixed but not completely. It appears randomly from time to time in some areas, for a few seconds, and then nothing for an hour. That's really weird ^^

That's fine lol. At that point you can ignore it. On regular PS5 it was a miracle whenever it stopped doing that, lasted for 40 mins or so. Some people never had it though

 

[diffusionx]

Actually people did complain, they did a horrible job with the port.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm noticing it right now, i bought the complete edition on pro just to fucking use the console with something relatively modern and i already had 2 crashes and one time when the loading was infinite and i had to manually close the thing and weird stuff happening on screen sometimes like flickering or some shit, but no vegetation problem.

I would not call it a mess but i was expecting an hassle free experience on console, i already have a pc that run this shit way, way better, if i wanted "pc problems" i could just play there.

(Btw it's not the console, call of pripyat run perfectly)

Colin from LSM has noted other issues like this with random games. One of the guys on his team literally couldn't play Returnal period. He had to send it in to Sony and I think they just gave him a new one or something. Colin also had serious issues with Alan Wake that no one else was having.
