Keep getting stutters despite having 60fps. This is with 1.03 and:

i7 2700k @4.4ghz
8gb ram
AMD 290x
Windows 7 64bit

Still waiting on drivers from AMD, thought this could be it but checked task manager and:

It is completely maxing out one core and the others are barely doing a thing. Is this causing my stutters and is there nothing I can do? Assuming this is a consequence of dx11 and I will just have to wait for dx12?

Alt tab and set affinity to real cores. It'll spread the load (that's what she said?). I did this for FarCry4. I'll try tonight

I get a weird issue when my monitor turns off, then on again but to the Windows desktop, with the game running still, but it doesn't come back to the screen, so I can here my cursor going over menu options, but only see my Windows desktop

Happened twice now

Finding it pretty hard going - Lack of health being the main issue so far - Combat is pretty tough and food is pretty lame. Determined to not bump it down to normal but I think you should be able to rest to get back to full health at least once a day (night time).

For anyone wanting to get the colours in this game looking much better and more like the 2013 version instead of the overly cartoony version now do this.

download the sweet FX from here:

http://cl.ly/1b1i2E3R3F2c

Follow the readme file for the instructions. Its pretty easy.

Go into the SweetFX_settings file and change the Lumasharpen to 0 instead of 1.
Turn off the sharpening feature in the game too as this just adds false sharpening and makes it look awful.

Turn off Chromatic Abberation in the options menu too in game.

Is this still the SweetFX instructions to use?

You can do it anytime, just meditate?

Bit easier once you can make some potions.

Is there a higher level blacksmith in the second area? Got a kick ass sword to craft but the other dudes(I have to go back to the first area to fix) are too low level to make it.

Im using InputMapper with my PS4 controller and the 'X' button is swapped with the square button in game??

Only on the easy settings m8. Otherwise its food and potions, although food is easy to come by as you can just hunt animals.

finding using Supersampling as "enhancement" improves graphics a bit for me with little to no overhead on my R290

Finding this game tough.. Need to stick at it

Linwig · 21 May 2015 at 21:38

Who's playing Death March difficulty then? Level 5 and getting my ass handed to me!

Buckster · 21 May 2015 at 21:49

with .3 patch seems to be running a dream on my OC'd 290

Ultra everything but grass, and no hairworks, added supersampling forced AA

and locked at 60

Witcher1979 · 21 May 2015 at 22:02

How is your ram after that patch lads? I think it might have a slight memory leak, went upto almost 6gb used just then which I am sure it didn't before this patch.

Velen is amazing though, so much to do it is unreal.

Check your event viewer to see if you have any "nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered error" messages.

Running miles better on my 290 now compared to before. Panning around results in no stutter and I'm confident I can ramp up the settings on Friday evening when I have a proper play through.

So far I've got to the garrison camp where I have to talk to some French commander bloke who informs Geralt about the Griffin. I admit the game looks stunning even though I'm no where near max settings. Night times in the woods can be scary :eek:

Anyone else patch still showing as v1.2??? After patch

It thinks your PS4 controller is a Xbox controller.

I have no idea about this dsr business, but I went my resolution to one up from my native 1920x1080 and I now don't need any aa, and it hasn't impacted performance so far as I can tell.
