I've accessed it on several occasions. Pretty sure you can access it whilst in-game.

You can access it from the main menu when not in game like this:

If it has vanished then lol

I cannot master the combat... may have to reduce the difficulty. I seem to be bested by small children

I had a similar problem. Started on blood & bones & got pummelled by the very first group of drowners so dropped it down one. Might raise it back up now I've got a tiny bit of gear & got a bit more used to the combat style.

Using Alt works well for me.

Heyo, if you're not seeing the Gamma option then you are playing in borderless windowed mode. Game has a tendency to switch from fullscreen to borderless windowed at times! Should help with FPS if you put it back to fullscreen too!

Is full screen better than borderless window? Ive auto had it set to borderless window.

Just a little gripe so far with how Geralt moves. He seems to take an extra step or two after you release analogue stick? Whilst ill probably get used to it and ajust, right now im finding it hard to accurately loot things or get on horse, end up fidgeting around the damn thing.

I believe in 'most' cases proper full screen mode will give you better performance from your graphics card than playing borderless window mode. It can depending on the individual setup so worth testing.

For example those with AMD crossfire setups, if you are playing in borderless window mode your extra card(s) will not be used.

I prefer borderless as I get screen tearing in full screen and I'd prefer not to have to use v-sync. As for the movement, they seem to have implemented momentum into his movement so he goes further that you want him to after letting go of the movement key. Kinda annoying but I imagine it's something you'll get used to.

Downloading it now. Unfortunately, GoG galaxy has gone back to its initial download speed when I first downloaded the game though, so I might get it downloaded by midnight if I'm lucky!

Edit- mine is downloading 634mb

Digital X · 21 May 2015 at 13:45

634? Would have thought it was the same, I am on Steam btw.

docsonic · 21 May 2015 at 13:47
