Thanks! It now actually shows that in orange. Pretty sure it didn't before.
Now to wait 10 more minutes and see what a 7850 can do.
EDIT: 16 minutes now. Must have packed some back up.

are you using the gog client? its faster than the web site link
No,no,no,nope.
Don't say that, hopefully it's the windows 10 drivers and not the ones released today (sorry for you if that is the case)

Restart Steam.

yeah
I deleted this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache
Restarted
Booted steam now its downloading the day 1 patch.
Try that.
There must be some other factor at play. But GCNs focus on compute vs Kepler might be paying some dividends.

Downloaded game with GOG downloader and the patch with browser. Ran patch and game crashes right on start up. Infact, it doesnt even start. Do i need to run the path in a certain folder? cause i cant switch install patch while its activated.
My (Steam) Witcher 3 downloaded about 300mb (I presume day one patch)
Then when I tried to play it, it gave me a error message "invalid depot config"
So I restart steam and click play again.
Now it's downloading 1.3GB!
I wanted to play it tonight

I've got a terrible internet speed, so it will take about 2 hours to download that.

Deleted the folder, restarted Steam, (didn't restart my PC, do I need to do that?) no update started, revalidating files.

This game seems really fucked up.
The only setting that really affects my framerate is foliage distance. I can have everything on ultra (hairworks off) and it'll be around 30 FPS. I can turn every setting down and the only one that really affects it and brings it above 30 is foliage distance. It brings it to 45-50.

Same here. It also said "Ready to launch in approximately: more than 1 year" for a moment... then the connection timed out. Now it's downloading 1.3 GB again.
I've got the same problem.
Try lowering shadows from ultra to high.

For me (And this might be a personal preference) but I always hit the AA settings if I want to squeeze performance out while still having as much graphical power as I can get.
I can stand jaggies on distant objects but I know that it might bug other people.

Game has now locked up twice.
Is it possible to quick save? Because this is quite annoying. Game otherwise runs fine except for some reason it drops 20-30fps during cut scenes and awkward frame drops like when i went under this bridge it dropped to 20-25fps for some absurd reason.

Game has CTD and then just hung up twice for me now.
2x SLI 980s
i5-4670K
Running all in-game sliders maxed, including HBAO+ and HairWorks at 1080p.
Also, my framerate is staying at a locked 60fps in-game, and during in-game events, but stuttering terribly and dropping during cutscenes. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Performance-wise this is a huge letdown. I have a textbook "high-end" PC this game should have been optimized to work perfectly on without hitches (2 flahship GPUs from the fucking sponsor GPU mfg, current gen Intel CPU).
Really hope they figure this shit out FAST.

Can someone keep an eye of where the actual performance takes a hit during the game.
I'm suspecting the game runs fine initially but then will take a major hit during more intensive combat or going through a city.
So I'd like to hear confirmations about this.

Really impressed with GOG and GOG Galaxy with this. Started playing the minute it went live through that. I downloaded the 1.02 patch about an half-hour before and unlocked straight away.
(PC:: i7 4790K, 560Ti, 16GB DDR3, running off USB 3.0 HDD)
Performance wise, I've not got anything up to the highest setting simply because I know it won't run, the GPU is my biggest bottleneck, and I played Borderless windowed at 900p and it ran okay locked at 30 but I didn't like how it felt. I need to upgrade if I'm going to play games like this on my PC, but I will be getting this for PS4 eventually.
Edit
Running 350.12 and haven't crashed, however I've only played for roughly an hour. The cutscenes are definitely stuttering, maybe attributed to running from External USB 3.0 HDD however I've not encountered any streaming issues with Skyrim, Cities: Skylines, Don't Starve, Unreal Tournament '99 and such.

Everything maxed out except Grass and Foliage Distance. Hairworks is off. HBAO+ is on.
55-60 FPS @ 1080p. A wonder!

Getting constant driver crashes w/ GTX 670 on W10. On 350.12, and tried W3 drivers that came out today but they seem a bust, doesn't install properly (leaves one monitor blank, and when restarts looks like theres no driver installed). I'll try .84 W10 drivers.

i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz, MSI GTX 970 @ +140+500, SSD, 8GB DDR3, Windows 8.1
60fps locked on ultra, with hairworks off, foliage distance to high and SSAO. The only problem is I'm crashing very often, every 10 - 15 minutes or so, no error message it just closes to desktop.
