Also anyone turned hairworks up to full and put the gryphon trophy on roach? Looks amazing.

Oh he sells it? I'll have to go back to White Orchid so.

I couldn't get that to work. The game crashed as soon as it launched, even though I already have the windows patches he suggested.

Not sure why it's never mentioned, but do you have Fraps running? You can't use these Sweetfx settings with Fraps, it just crashes on startup, turn off fraps completely and try it.

Well putting the FPS lock slider to the left (unlimited) seems to have sorted out most of my stuttering (still get some but not as much), I did drop shadows to high as well though so maybe that helped too. FPS is pretty much locked to 55-60 now, happy with that! Rest of my settings:

foliage to medium
hairworks, sharpening, chromatic, AA, blur crap are off
ambient occlusion set to SSAO

And using matson's sweetfx.

How do you mean? I thought it was either off, just geralt or gerlat and animals/monsters?

Nice, also turn the foliage distance one down to high as well. Everything else you can probs set to ultra.

Does Geralt blink?

I had camera facing him for about a minute and he never blinked once. Are his eyes broken? lol.

Geralt with animals/monsters is labelled as "full"

Where can I get decent recipes for regeneration potions in the first couple of areas? I can't find any merchants who have any.

Oh I see. It is labelled "off" "geralt" or "on" for me?

Yes! It's very fluid and behaves just as you would expect a head full of hair bouncing around on the back of a horse

Had my first crash last night... fingers crossed it was a one off

Question...is there ever *not* a stiff breeze blowing the foliage around like it's in a gale?

Something has been bothering me about the footage I've seen and I think that's it.

Got my first glimpse of the boob physics at work last night

You shouldn't objectify women in the work place

Did you tick the box on GoG Galaxy to enable them in game though?

You go to game page in Galaxy click "more" then "configure" then scroll down and you should see the 2 DLC's with a tick box next to them to enable.

I have foliage set to medium, seems to hammer my fps quite a bit that but yeah most of the other stuff is set to ultra, I can't wait to see how this game is going to look once we get that patch.

Still taking me a while to get to grip with all the controls, menu stuff, different armour/weapons etc. but the game is growing on me!

Cheers I didn't know that, have to remember to do that with all the other dlcs when they come.

Yes, in game I guess when you're running about you notice the movement less, but standing still it feels pretty awful. I said before, nothing moving is not unrealistic because we often experience life without heavy winds and everything is still. We never experience constant wind and everything moving, so it feels so much less natural. A bit of movement, the odd gust but changing wind would feel so much more natural than it currently is. Though they also have stupid bits, a small bush inside a castle/keep by a huge stone wall where wind wouldn't get at it... blowing around as much as a tree on the horizon on top of a hill.

Very much a feel of "we've put some physics into a game... lets overuse the hell out of it to make sure the player notices... all the freaking time".

Moved this over to my SSD, nice speed difference when loading save games that is for sure.
