The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

anyone any tips on the griffin fight ? im level 2 and try to dodge its attacks, but its very tedious and it kills me pretty quickly, should I do more side missions ? any potion mixes or better equipment ?
 
This is how I did it first time...

Don't engage it for too long, shoot it down it with the crossbow as close to you as possible, whack once or twice then try an aard sign to knock it back off balance, give it another whack then leg it.

Then wait for it to take off and repeat, just don't try and fight it when its able to defend itself.
 
I just did all the ? Locations on the map first then had no trouble beating it so maybe try a few more of those.
 
See if you can get to level 3, the difficulty in this game is backwards the first 10 levels its tricky at times after that you can pretty much afk kill most mobs.
 
Game is awesome :). Just got to Skelly at level 20. Game keeps on surprising.

Sadly since updating to 353.06 the game crashes constantly. No display driver crash and recovery. Just the game goes to a blank screen, or sometime freeze frames even though I can still pause, move around etc. Just can't see anything. Sometimes tabbing out solves it, others it doesn't.

Really frustrating...going to have to roll back to the Game Ready driver.

If it was like mine it is actually crashing and trying to recover, it just didn't show the message on the desktop. I looked in event viewer at the time of the black screens and it says the "nvkdll thingy" etc stopped responding.

It's definitely something in the latest few drivers that's causing them as I haven't had any since reverting back to 347.88 drivers
 
Yeah I checked there matey, no logs. I have a couple of crash logs from the game this evening... the hairworks one was pretty much instant after a 2 second hang.

Absolutely nothing in event viewer relating to the NV kernel. The machine doesn't hang at all, it's just the game. I've just rolled back to 352.86. After 80 odd hours without an issue I'll be surprised if I get a repeat offence

If it was like mine it is actually crashing and trying to recover, it just didn't show the message on the desktop. I looked in event viewer at the time of the black screens and it says the "nvkdll thingy" etc stopped responding.

It's definitely something in the latest few drivers that's causing them as I haven't had any since reverting back to 347.88 drivers

Yeah I checked there matey, no logs. I have a couple of crash logs from the game this evening... the hairworks one was pretty much instant after a 2 second hang.

Absolutely nothing in event viewer relating to the NV kernel. The machine doesn't hang at all, it's just the game.

Checked the bin/x64 folder? I had the exact same crashes and error code after the DLC patch mid week. I removed dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll from the x64 folder and BAM no issues since.
 
Those nasty level designers... they put a chest a few seconds out of the map and you barely have enough time to open it and take all the items before it telepunts you back.

Irritating, i did it, but still... (white orchard south of ransacked village)

Another thing ive noticed is that some chests respawn their loot, nothing great tbh, but what is rather peculiar is that by opening one of them, exiting and moving out of view of the chest, changes some of the loot, it can happen like 3 times and its permanent after that, but so strange.
