The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition

[Average Manatee]

It isn't because when I play with the EE mod I can actually force a long ranged attack when I know the enemy is either at long range or moving towards it, guaranteeing a hit rather than randomly having the game decide to do a mid or short ranged attack and whiff. But I can't force short ranged attacks, which is a bigger problem because doing a long ranged attack with a longer animation ends up getting you killed (at least in EE when you die in 2-4 hits usually). And its not a targetting issue because if it was I'd see Geralt doing the long distance animation and going to attack a long distance target, but he doesn't, and these problems happen even when you're only fighting one enemy.

 

[good fucking shit happen]

HD textures ON!

Triss with RTX teaser:

Sweet lord, have mercy on me...

 

[rusty_shackleford]

devs can't even remaster their own games anymore, so worthless they have to rely on modders

HD textures ON!

Can't stand texture artists that think HD means you suddenly have 10k blackheads on your ass.

I took some comparison shots between performance and quality mode. RTAO and GI definitely have a nice visible effect on the visuals, added depth. But the performance mode is buttery smooth 60FPS and hard to give up.

 

[Wunderbar]

What an impressive feat of technology, a 7 yrs old game performs at 60 fps. In a gimped 'performance mode'.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

maybe if they ask nicely modders will fix the performance too

The console version doesn't even have all the RTX features available.

DRM-Free my fucking ass! Go fuck yourself CDPR!

I bet the files of those items are already on your drive after you've installed the upgraded version, they just need to be activated online via Galaxy. Crafty. If CDPR were still completely honest they would've made those bonus items available as offline installers/zips at the website. A transparent incentive for migrating to Galaxy.

Know what they should have added? Double-tap evade (left Alt) to roll, freezing up the Spacebar and allowing you to climb and jump as usual. So that when you are in a fight and an enemy is on a platform above you or you are trying to escape from a fight to a higher platform, Geralt doesn't keep rolling into the low wall like a moron.

I couldn't see any difference with RT/ON from official trailer and previous official materials but now it is clearly visible when people show PC version. Especially water reflections look great though weirdly they are missing some things. Self shadowing and RT shadows also are great. Being in middle of dark forest also look great instead of it having ambient light from nowhere.

Some more details:

- 50GB (up from 35GB)
- breaks most of mods though not all (CDPR tested and about half were "WORKS WITH NO SCRIPT ISSUES")
- it includes gameplay mods like FCR3 (reworks skills, removes skull stupid bonuses etc.)
- PC gets UBER+ settings which drives further everything including huge draw distance boost
- reworked foliage + FX details (like smoke coming out of chimneys in distance)
- ui now runs at game FPS instead of 30fps like in all previous versions
- probably Vulcan/DX12 because DX11 doesn't support raytracing at all.

Update for PC 1AM in few hours.

Performance wise. Currently everything on ultra @ 4k on my RTX3080 runs 90-100fps. So with Ultra+and raytracing i expect 30-50fps max.

HD textures ON!

Looks like Triss got an upgrade, huh?

Can't stop Geraldo Del Rivero.
This motherfucker is CDPR's milk cow.
I mean, how much more are they going to keep this going?

 

[Lambach]

Until Witcher 4, or however they decide to name it? It's in the works and it will be Geraldo-free.

According to steamdb, they added a beta branch of 1.32 version, called "classic." However, it's not public yet, they'll probably make it available when the update is released.
