The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[bushmins]

How do you know if the dlc's are installed? I can click on them and it seems to reinstall them every time. All the dlc's are now listed under the 'DLC installers' heading.

Ah nm, I just found I had to click the boxes on a different menu.

 

[Idleman]

Still no sign of Patch 1.05, which means I'm still stuck in Kings Gambit.

 

[CHokKA]

Any other AMD users tried this performance mod?

http://wccftech.com/witcher-3-mod-5-to10-fps-boost-amd-graphics-cards/

Gave me a few extra fps on the 15.5 driver. There are three versions, I had to use the older 1023 one as the game wouldn't start otherwise.

Thanks for posting that, I may give that a go this weekend. My time on the game is too limited during the week so I don't want to spend it tweaking and messing around when I could be playing

 

[Winky_The_Winking_Turtle]

I'll try that too when I get home... playing at 30-35fps on a 7850 with ultra/high settings (no settings make a "big difference" to me :/ Heard of some grass tweaks too, so might be able to hit 40fps, but prob will still just limit for 30.

Yeah I'm on a 7950 as well and getting similar. I really want CrossFire to work properly. I've got two 7950s but having to use one only because at the moment it's rubbish! Flickering, worse performance than a single card. It's pretty bad!

 

[chroniclard]

Cant be bothered playing it at the moment, was loving it for a while but got to level 16 and everything is either too easy or insanely tough.

Take a break and come back to it in a week or so I think.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Seems the new DLC has broken my game entirely. Even if I remove it I can no longer even launch the game. It flashes black as soon as I launch it, and crashes to desktop.
I can't even send the error log to CDPR since their system says it's "too big".

Error log here

Seems the new DLC has broken my game entirely. Even if I remove it I can no longer even launch the game. It flashes black as soon as I launch it, and crashes to desktop.
I can't even send the error log to CDPR since their system says it's "too big".

Oh bugger. Just went to check mine and it crashes the moment it is launched.

Edit: Yep, even with the DLC removed, the game crashes.

Let's hope they get it fixed soon! Upgrading from GTX 580 to 2 GTX 980Tis, and I actually want to play the game

 

[Neil79]

Seems gog galaxy client downloaded some files into bin/x64 folder - dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll and if you replace with sweetfx ones game crash.

 

[Kainz]

Hmm not using Sweetfx or any mods though. Checking reddit atm for solutions.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

I don't have SweetFX installed at the moment either.

EDIT: I just removed dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll from the x64 folder and suddenly the game runs again!

lol just did the same after looking at Neil's post!

 

[N19h7m4r3]

lol just did the same after looking at Neil's post!

Why the hell would they add two files that crash the game though?
It makes no sense at all, we're not even using SweetFX

 

[Pighardia]

It is quite an interesting tactic they have for this game. Release an amazing, completely stable and perfectly playable game, then gradually introduce patches and dlc make it worse each time!... They have also got nvidia to help them too, by releasing a new driver that makes the game unplayable for some

 

[Ecliptica78]

Was just about to ask if anyone had problems since the new Nvidia drivers but it appears my question has already been answered.

Most annoying, 52 hours in without a single crash and then Nvidia release drivers and it crashes now pretty much every 10 - 15 mins or so. Gonna have to give the game a rest now until it's fixed.

 

[BaDBoY_uK]

DICE approach to patching here it seems

 

[YB2ndBEST]

DICE approach to patching here it seems

LOL!!!! I've had nothing but improvements with each patch, but there are definitely a lot of people getting otherwise. Just thought that comment was hilarious though! Definitely had that problem with BF4

 

[N19h7m4r3]

I just heard back from CDPR support and all they had to offer was this advice, aka an automated response.

I told them about the two files being downloaded by GOG Galaxy, hopefully they bother to look into those.

Hello,

Please try the following steps:
1. Try updating your graphics card drivers (or clean install them, preferably) to the latest version from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
2. Set Windows Power plan to High Performance (Power Options in Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options).
3. Install Microsoft .NET Framework.
4. Maybe you have some settings forced on your graphics device in NVIDIA Control Panel. If so then try to reset them.
5. Set your FPS limit to 'Unlimited' or '30', turn the V-Sync OFF and switch HBAO+ to SSAO.
6. Go to NVIDIA control panel -> Configure surround/physx and switch PhysX settings' Processor to CPU.
7. While in NVIDIA Control Panel:
a) Adjust image settings with preview -> Select 'Use the advanced 3D settings', click 'Take me there'
b) In Global Settings set:
- Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames to '1'
- Set the Power management mode to 'Prefer maximum performance'
- Activate V-Sync in NVIDIA Control Panel​
8. In case you have overclocked CPU or GPU, try reverting them to their factory settings.

​You can also try uninstalling GeForce Experience.​

Couldn't you just roll back the driver update?
