The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I've sorted it, I had witcher 3 base game in my basket too so it was only giving me the option of gifting which is restricted.
I've still not finished the base game, only just got to Kaer Morhen so hopefully lots left to do!

Good to hear you got it sorted

Yeh you have a bit to go yet.

I've just travelled to Skellige and it isn't obvious how I go back to Novigrad and the previous map should I choose to do so - how do I get back?

Zoom out on the map and choose Novigrad

Ah ok, thanks.

Just finished my first play through of the main game and both DLC.

I ended up on level 53 after 174 hours and cleared every land based quest pointer in the game. I just left a bunch of the Skellige sunken wrecks because I couldn't be bothered and didn't need the loot anyway (I've got about 50k in gold).

Easily the best game I have ever played - and tonight I'm going to jump right back in with a new game +

Now replaying at 3440x1440 however I can't find any guide on how to fix cutscenes at 21:9 for the GOG GOTY ver 1.31. A link or guide to a hex fix would be really appreciated. Thank you

Agreed. Best game for me too, everything was just spot on.

guys can you help, i'm plying through this the 1st time and my 980ti is really struggling at 2560x1440, i know hairworks in a known problem but is there any fix to moderate the levels like on amd cards or is it on/off for nvidia? Also are there any other visual tweaks i should be doing. i'm currentli in the 45-65 range i would like to take the minimums above 60 if possible....

I think foliage distance from ultra to high apparently makes a difference.

Turning shadows down a notch will help.

Hair works off and shadows + foliage distance to high will help bigtime.

I'm getting a solid 55-75 FPS, depending on how busy the scene is, running this at 3440x1440 with my Fury X which should be similar in performance to your 980ti. It never drops below this so you should get at least this or more given your resolution is pushing less pixels. I have everything maxed with the following exceptions:

Nvidia hairworks - off
Motion blur - off
Foliage visibility range - high
Ambient Occlusion - SSAO

I finished the main storyline. Absolutely fantastic game. I think i got the bad ending though

May have to do another play through some day.

I got the dlc to be getting on with next though.

zom247 · 23 Mar 2017 at 06:58

Really enjoying the B+W DLC, the storyline is excellent and I'm just playing it whenever I get a free moment. It's been a while since I've been this immersed in a game and will be sorry to see it end.

HabUK · 23 Mar 2017 at 09:58

Finished the Battle of Kaer Morhen last night, totally epic! Seriously can't get enough of this game, currently hovering around the 70 hour mark

Despite having completely exhausted all the content from the main game and the dlc over two playthroughs, I still don't want to uninstall it. I probably won't play it again, but it's like parting with an old friend.

Same! I refuse to uninstall and just pop in now and then for a bit of tourism.

I never uninstalled Mass Effect 1 either..

Ok, todays goal. Finish the Witcher 3's main story. I've played nothing but Zelda since it came out!

Vidar · 23 Mar 2017 at 16:04

I really really want to get into this but for some reason I'm just struggling to, I've gotten as far as killing that first Griffin and that's it... it's just not grabbing me yet.
