Does The Witcher 3's latest patch fix console performance?

Digital Foundry:
Xbox One and PlayStation 4 re-tested with update 1.03.

On balance, it's an improvement on both sides but Xbox One owners have a bigger reason to celebrate this update. Though it struggles to match the clarity of PS4's native 1920x1080 output, the 30fps cap is better adjusted for Microsoft's platform in practice, with fewer stutters during play giving it a tangible performance advantage. Neither PS4 or Xbox One releases are perfect, with major pop-in still an issue in built-up areas - plus a jitter (also seen on PC) when changing the speed of camera motion. We hope these are the focus of the next patch, but in the here and now, The Witcher 3 is at least in a better state now than on release.

Big improvement for xbox version of the game. Nice work CD Project!

XBLSkull4020d ago

I had noticeable problems in WO pre-patch, but no problems afterwords. Now that the patch is here I now notice problems everywhere. For me this patch has been a downgrade, let those frames run baby! 40>30 locked.

MaximusTKG4020d ago

I like how the author says "at least it is in a better state", as if the game was broken before. Sure a small portion of people had some issues, but this person, along with many others are deluded if they thought the game was previously broken at any point.

A big fat NO unfortunately. On the shelf it sits until studdering and lag is fixed via PS4. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Stuttering...shuddering....

zsquaresoff4020d ago

I have a bug in one of the quests called 'Nameless'. I have completed all the required objectives but it still sits on my main quests tab.

I googled it and many people have the same issue, anyone here has the same bug?

Im playing on ps4 and most of the bugs have been fixed including frame rate issue with the movie sequence.

Without the patch the X1 version was good now with the patch it's even better and smoother.

Letthewookiewin4020d ago

Ain't nothing wrong with that! Happy gameing. The next patch will improve things even more. It's unfortunate the game wasn't in this condition at launch but I can kind of see why it wasn't.

Julion07154020d ago

Yea I feel you but no game will ever launch perfect these days when u can patch things that's jus how it is now.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj72d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever73d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai72d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.

Sign me up. I haven’t played it since it released on PS4 so I could go for another run with a new DLC.

M3talDiamond354d ago

repsahj354d ago (Edited 354d ago )
