The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Can't remember what settings I changed, but even at 60fps it feels like 30fps. It was smooth as butter once at 60, I tried different settings, vsync, fps limits but it won't go back to smooth..

I loaded my w2 save but why the hell did they list the saves oldest first? I had to scroll through a list of about 100 to find the most recent

I managed to change the install path in the registry which sorted it

If you register it on steam, you shouldn't need the disk in

Out of curiosity, where is the reg value that needs editing?

Thanks for the response.

Will I definitely be able to install it on Steam?

You won't be able to register the physical copy on Steam.

You installed the latest drivers?

kinger8938 · 19 May 2015 at 00:22

Anyone constantly getting a notification about switching from gamepad to keyboard and back?

extrememachine · 19 May 2015 at 00:24

Dayum! All that power! :eek:

Strife212 · 19 May 2015 at 00:29

Only 30fps here

Playing at 4K though.

Pretty sure it's the one in here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\GameUX\Games

There's a load of sub folders and one is for the witcher.

I basically just did a search for gog games\the witcher 3 and changed all the entries to the actual folder the game is in

Ahh, as above, it will probably be gog rather than steam you need to register it on. However, you can probably then add it as a non-steam game if you want to launch it via steam

Loving it so far and framerates seems very steady. Have antiquated 7950 2GB ICE Edition overclocked to within an inch of its life and it's handling it beautifully on High Settings. Considering getting a 980 but this seems fine so far.

Seems extremely well polished.

eekfek · 19 May 2015 at 00:35

Impressed, 750GTX 1gig and it runs smooth enough. Will have a good mess about with settings after work but bed calls !!! damn you job

Jono8 · 19 May 2015 at 00:39

This is going to be epic. Just had a quick go but need to go to bed for work in the morning.

The game put absolutely everything on ultra and on (inc hairworks) at 1080p automatically when I loaded it so I left it and it seems to run beautifully so far ( I am running an overclocked GTX 980.)

It does look brilliant as well...not VGX 2013 trailer quality but still very pretty.

Hairworks is fantastic as well. It looks much more realistic than the tressfx used in Tomb Raider in my opinion. The horses mane looks brilliant and I can't wait to meet some furry monsters!

looks and runs great ingame on my 970. i think the reason people are having issue with stuttering in the cut scenes is because uber sampling seems to be on. have a look in \bin\config\base\visuals.ini and try setting ubersampling to false.

PraxxtorCruel · 19 May 2015 at 00:43

So am I getting this right? We've gone through 30-40 pages worth of anger and tears and to sum it up, everything is suddenly brilliant?

Well looks like CDPR are worthy developers after all.

kaotikuk · 19 May 2015 at 00:44

4790k with a 290 here, tried ultra, runs decent around about 50fps had it drop to 40 ish, not smooth so dropped everything to high and i get 70fps pretty much constant. Cant really notice much between them either so all is good!
