The Witcher 3 Official Thread (Pt.2)

I would wait for new drivers and a game patch if i were a 700 series user, the optimized driver is most likely maxwell only. Can't say I don't enjoy the drama here tho.

 

i am not defending cdpr, but ppl u need to understand with launches of these kinds of games, bugs are inevitable

 

Yep, I had my first bug last night. Loaded the last save, and my body was still dead. Couldn't do anything, even exit out. Had to Ctl alt del.

Also had a bees nest I Igni'd and then couldn't get the honeycomb. I was at like 1% health too!

 

Heh, luckily enough, I have not had anything like this:

 

My setup, some combo between ultra and high. Used 3k shadows from ultra shadows. Also, keeps solid 63 fps in the middle of the woods while fighting, and still has gpu usage left.

First comment had me rofl

http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/36i711/on_a_scale_of_arabic_to_chinese/

haha Only 900 series cards can achieve Chinese.

 

Interesting, I had the game on my TV for a few hours, 40", 1080p, all maxed, 60fps, from the comfort of my chair and from my bed, so pretty much a console experience only with better graphics. I didn't like it at all haha.

I much prefer the k+m in this game. Guys, those of you who say controls suck, I know they're not perfect, but I normally just have walking toggled on, then if I need to pick up the speed here and there, I just press shift when needed.

I do tend to explore a lot and loot a lot so running is a no go for me.

Love the loot system in this game btw, you can find some really nice relic gear where you just wouldn't expect it, make sure you loot EVERYTHING in sight!

 

They KB/mouse keybinding is just mediocre. This is the first game in a long time on kb/mouse ive had to make changes. I've found a bug with the dodge re-keybind, but everything else is far better.

 

I quite like space for roll. In tough fights where you have to be careful I just strafe around the enemies, watching their animations and then all I have to do is press space when they attack. Combat in this game is great, especially the fights against the bigger mobs.

 

Games running fine for me all ultra /on, just hairworks off and foliage distance down to high. This keeps me at a pretty solid 60fps

Not bad to say amd still don't have a driver and its a game fingered by nvidia's dirty fingers.

I feel sorry for al the kepler owners.

 

Guys, do you think they are ever gonna fix hairworks? With patches/drivers or maybe an enhanced edition later on :frown: Although NV has to sell more of them 900s after all (I feel for kepler users :banana

 

Do you know about the AMD tweak for hairworks? Add a Witcher 3 profile and turn tessellation down to x8 or so and also change the hairworksAA in the ini to 4x/2x. It runs pretty good on AMD hardware then.

 

Dont start nvidia vs AMD drivers here, mods ware pretty clear about that. Kepler problems are in nvidia section.

 

No, forget it. Nvidia's version of TressFX, Hairworks, isn't efficient at all.
Uses the long unoptimised route to achieve a similar look.

 

yay, LOWER settings here I come.

Although I've not finished enjoying Witcher 2 yet.

 

No didn't know about that will give it ago later, cheers.

 

As far as I know, there's no way of knowing. But from my experience, it's almost always better to leave that particular setting on default so the application can choose whatever is best.

The only game where overriding that is better is Watch Dogs, where setting it to 1 helped out a lot in smoothness..

 

As much as I am enjoying this I have to say I'm actually shocked at the amount of times I've seen Geralt's feet or even entire body disappear into portions of the scenery. Seems that unless you are on an actual path or road there's every chance you will notice it too, more often than you'd like sadly.

Hope it gets fixed at some point in the future as it's rather off putting to put it mildly and it's one thing GTA V obviously got right that this hasn't.

 

Don't understand all this BS about Kepler cards running the game bad. Game is running fine for me. 60-80 frames with hairworks off, all good. The benchmarks for the game seem way off the mark from my experience so far.
