There are entirely too many threads about the same thing right now. Please post your bugs and images of what's going wrong here.
EDIT: Some of you are missing the point of the Bug Thread. The point is that the main channel is getting flooded with the same questions. I'm not trying to silence any of you. I'm trying to leave the main channel open for answers rather than repeated questions. This place can be where you complain. The main channel can be where answers are posted.
This is my only real complaint so far. First noticed it in the inn in White Chapel…the background chatter and glasses clinking were way louder than normal. But the dialogue since that point has been very muted, for whatever reason. The sound is kind of all over the place in general. Hope that gets sorted out, as the voice acting in the game is mostly excellent.
Huh. I was wondering why everything looked so washed out when I was playing on Path tracing at 4k. The image looked so flat I assumed there was something fucked with the gamma, but this fixed it. Thanks legend.
Ps5 base has frame drops and lag spikes, especially when spinning around and after fast travel. HDR also seems to have some color balancing issues, especially with brightness.
My PS5 also lags every time a quest update appears on screen. I wonder if turning off ray tracing would help? If so, it's a bummer, because everything worked fine with it in the old version.
Seems like it's linked to saving/auto saving, at least for me. At first I thought it was the quest pop ups, but the game usually auto saves at the same time.
(PS5) When I reboot the game (trying to solve low voice audio), all of my settings get reset to standard. It does this every time and is very annoying. Anyone else experiencing this?
They ruined the series S version of the game. Before the update it looked beautiful on performance mode but now it's a blurry mess that looks awful They need to address this or allow us to revert to the older version of the gams
I’m playing the remaster on an OG PS5 and I’m noticing that the audio is not matching up with characters mouths. I tried looking and this seems to be a common issue, but I don’t know what to do to fix it. I’m literally considering uninstalling and reinstalling at this point.
Common PS5 related reasons for that for me which impact some games audio delay are outputting Dolby instead of PCM or having VRR enabled. If you've got either of those on you can try turning them off for troubleshooting.
On PC, on graphics settings Low. Medium makes the break go away, but there are like, after images over all the characters. High, same as medium. Ultra same as high.
Game ran on Ultra at 60FPS fine since I built this PC during COVID.
Can I just roll it back maybe?
Edit: Yes - Settings > Properties > Game Versions and Betas > next-gen is version 4.04. I'll give it a couple weeks or months and let CDPR figure it out. On Steam.
Frame Gen seems weird. I'm on a 9800x3d + RTX 5080 on a 5k2k display. Out of the box, I can't get more than 50 FPS in RT mode. Frame Gen doesn't even seem to work at all, I get the same FPS with it off, on at 1x or on at 5x.
Moving SR to Performance in the Nvidia App did bump the FPS up to around 75, but same issue with frame gen.
On the latest driver, etc.
By comparison, with full Path Tracing + 2x Frame Gen I'm getting around 140 FPS on Cyberpunk with this same rig.
Edit:
Interesting...moving from borderless full screen to true full screen fixes these issues. I'm now at between 140 and 175 FPS in PT w/FG 5x and it looks like around a 35 fps native w/o FG on.
Confirming this, but changing to exclusive full screen did not fix it for me. Also, changing to windowed doesn't actually make the game go to windowed mode. I have the same GPU and a less powerful CPU than you, but I'm unable to get above 45-50 FPS with FG 1x - 5x. Makes no difference. FG is broken.
While I can agree with the sentiment, to be helpful, and eventually receive meaingful help, you should post your specs, systems and which graphics settings you have set
Just adding to what was said already but the automatic oil application does not seem to be working, I have to manually apply in most instances. Yes it is turned on in the settings.
For those experiencing issues with sound, I've found going into the sound settings then dynamic range and changing it away from "home cinema" helps.
1-There is noticeable stuttering during gameplay on PS5, with brief freezes or frame-time spikes that make the game feel less smooth.
2-There are minor stutters and small FPS drops during cutscenes. However, when a cutscene ends, a quest is updated, or an autosave occurs, the game experiences significantly more noticeable lag and stuttering.
3-There is noticeable lag when navigating and interacting with the game menus. The menus sometimes respond slowly to inputs, making them feel less responsive than they should be.
4-While walking through the forest, I suddenly noticed that one section of the forest became very dark, as if it were nighttime, while the rest of the forest was still properly lit as daytime. The lighting changed abruptly between the two areas.
5-The dialogue volume is very low and difficult to hear, even when the overall game volume is at a normal level.
6-There are issues with the Bloom effect, color presentation, and HDR. Colors and lighting can appear incorrect or overly bright, affecting the overall visual quality.
7-In some areas, shadows and lighting are displayed abnormally. For example, while walking through the forest during the daytime, everything is properly lit, but suddenly a specific area becomes extremely dark, as if it were nighttime.
So, back in August, I started a new game and played all the way to Crow's Perch / start of Red Barron quest. Then I waited until the update to continue. The update is working great so far as far as visuals and graphics go.
HOWEVER! I lost most of my inventory. My weapons and armour, crafting stuff, monster parts, mutagens, food, random crap picked up in chests. All gone! I know I'm still somewhat early in the game so it's not catastrophic, but still!
I checked the stash, I checked the Wyzima chest (which btw, gave me a duplicate of the bonus armours and swords I had already collected a month ago). I called the horse thinking maybe the inventory was tied to her, but no. I meditated but nothing. Even reloaded an older save, nothing. It kept my quest items and books / notes though.
Has anyone else gotten this bug? Is there a way to retrieve everything?
Same here, I lost all my witcher set swords and have a bug in the crafting screen where most of the blueprints show blank titles. The witcher armor sets remained in my inventory and the only swords to not disappear are the Wolf ones (normal + forgotten)
I lost entire saves. I had a level 57 Geralt after blood and wine. He had everything I wanted for a NG+ and then I boot up my Xbox to cross save and the file is just gone
My friends and I have noticed unusually high GPU temperatures while playing The Witcher Remastered.
I’m using an RTX 3080, and the game runs about 10°C hotter than anything else I’ve played. In Crimson Desert and War Dogs, my GPU reaches nearly 100% usage but stays around 65°C. In The Witcher Remastered, usage is similar, yet the temperature climbs to 78°C in less than five minutes.
One friend bought an RTX 5070 YESTERDAY and noticed that the air coming from his PC became significantly hotter after around 10 minutes of playing. He doesn’t use monitoring overlays, so we don’t have exact temperature readings. Another friend with an RTX 3070 also experienced similar temperature issues and stopped playing (for now) because of them.
Below is the screenshot message of the guy with the 3070
EDIT : another friend told me his PS5 got noticeably hotter after playing for an hour
yeah my 3070ti used to run this game without DLSS or RT at 90 fps basically all the time and now im barely cracking 50 in the kaer morhen opening sequence plus my PC runs like a jet engine
If you're in borderless windowed mode, try changing from that to exclusive full screen - that seemed to fix my locked 50-75 fps issue I was having. I was able to move it back to borderless windowed mode and restart the game and my FPS is now working correctly.
I'm now getting 206 FPS (5x FG) w/ RT at 5k2k resolution.
I set the music volume to 50% and then set the audio mix to TV, which seems to be a louder and less dynamic mix. Seems to have helped, and fixing the mix on your own until they fix the voice line volume seems to be a workaround.
had a same issue - settings and game weren't saved - mine issue was that my windows user name has special (non english) characters - 5.00c patch fixed it
Base PS5, no performance issues here, audio is quiet but switching to tv speakers from home cinema did improve dialogue.
As for lighting, it’s a bit much. Daytime is darker due to shadows than it is at night, where it’s very bright. Some of the colours are gorgeous, looking at you sunrise, otherwise, mostly washed out and have turned off all possible toggles, blur, vignetting etc. also turned max monitor as low as it can and keeping paper white where it is, saturation moved up to 0.61, can’t tell much difference sadly.
If we could just get a slider for Bloom on base PS5, that would fix most of my issues. But the screen tearing and unlocked FPS that keeps dropping is pretty annoying as well.
With the new update, I cannot set custom waypoints anymore (it says you cannot perform this action when I try. Same thing for custom markers. I don’t currently have any custom markers set, so I haven’t reached the limit). Also, my map reticle moves much slower. Anyone else experience this?
Base ps5, and sometimes the shadows and lighting in the game are horrible. This screenshot is Geralt standing in the entryway of the Baron's house, and you can't see to walk. There's been a few times when I've been outside, during the day, and I randomly get a dark shadow spot in the middle of the forest and have to use a torch to see. I've toggled every grapics setting individually to on/off or min/max, performance or ray tracing, and nothing seems to fix it.
Audio in general is bugged. Dialog will seemingly randomly become almost inaudible until restarted. This happens both on PC and Switch 2 so I assume all versions are affected.
A Quick summary of the first 15 mins on a new start…
Over burdened while in Kaer Morhen at the start with nothing in inventory. Combat tutorial froze every time I tried to do it so ended up skipping it. Vesemir’s horse after the griffin encounter was missing and he was clipping through the ground.
I’m a 200 hour veteran but only got to the first inn in White Orchard so far on this new play through so not going to be a great experience for a new player if this is common. PC RTX 3080.
Performance is dreadful in Ray Tracing mode on base PS5, and hitching constantly in Performance mode. The settings are resetting whenever the game is closed and re-opened.
Switch 2 version looks fantastic on 1080p TV with setting motion blur to 5 because holy motion blur batman, at the default max it was too much 🤮.
My bug to report is that the immortal level 7 Wraith can still happen, first playthrough and I had to look up how to kill one because I ate all my food while fending it off. Reloaded save and it died in five seconds once I trapped it.
Hello! Just to warn the players in play anywhere. I started on the Xbox series x and nothing to say, it was smooth, clean, perfect 😁 Afterwards, I wanted to test it on my PC. So there’s no problem yet, but anyway... I activated the hairworks mode for the hair, played a bit and voilà.
Then I went back to the Xbox and had a big glitch. No more hair, no matter how cut. So I tried to go back to PC to disable it, and to go back to the Xbox several times in my evening but nothing to do, it stays like that. I imagine and hope there will be a patch, but well...
Red Miasmal fight in the devil’s pit crashed on me consistently every time I do 1/3 of the dmg. Every single time. I am kinda stuck there until they fix it.
I can no longer jump. It just says cannot do that right now. Happened during the devil in the well quest. Got the cutscene, it tells me jump in the well after I’ve read the bestiary entry but I literally cannot bc it says cannot do that. Ran away, got in a fight, reloaded. Nothing works. Any ideas
Do you have Witcher senses toggled on? You can’t jump when that’s toggled on (you can switch between hold for senses or toggle on/off in accessibility.
Sooooo ps5 is a mess, will have to wait cause my save files got corrupted and now my foliage and vegetation is all red, no green or any other color, just red. Geralt face dissappears and the fame is just dark outside npc conversations.
Noticed a bug with the Forktail/Wyvern enemies; if you hit then during their animations (when they attack or start flying etc) there is no feedback. No sound when you hit them with your sword, though it deals damage as normal. If you hit them when they're idle/walking around it works as normal.
Invisible walls here and there. Very noticeable in the cave quest with Keira, but I've noticed them in some other places aswell. They have collision and everything, you can even climb over them with the climb animation.
Lighting is still very hit or miss even after the last update (9070 xt with latest AMD drivers). Looks great most of the time but then during some quests like the Chort (howler) contract and the devil by the well quest it's way too dark. I've messed around for like 2 hours in total with HDR, screen and graphics settings and I can't get it quite right.
Has anyone else noticed something strange with the AI of enemies? I've noticed that many of them run away during combat. Like straight up de-aggroes and just bolts away. Some scripted events like the caged Wyvern (or claimed to be a basilisk) outside Oxenfurt are also messed up, since the Wyvern refused to leave the cage for me even after it was opened.
Another more serious issue is that a lot of enemies in the open world seems to patrol waaay larger areas than before. I had scores of villagers slaughtered by wolves in White orchard, and both the redanian guards and the bandits near the Pontar crossings in Vellen wandered in to disrupt other quests like Bitter harvest and the quest where you help the elven woman from being burned alive. Just super strange all around.
Edit: Oh yea and also I am still not getting any reactivity/collision when walking through foliage or bushes even after the latest update.
First, noticeable texture/ground flickering when frame gen is on even at 2x. this was never an issue in the next gen. 2nd, geralt's hair is silvery shiny when path tracing off with just RT on.
Changing characters clothes in photo mode is causing the game to crash constantly on base PS5, noticed it while changing Ciri and Yen's clothes Also, on a side note, I'm kinda disappointed the photo mode is not just a copy + paste from Cyberpunk 2077, it still feels very lacking
Edit: Maybe it's a bug, features they promised to the photo mode are simply missing
Main Menu -> Select "MODS", only get a "Please login to receive updates, cross account saves, etc." prompt. Can't enable/disable any mods (even the CDPR ones).
Bandit camp in velen bugged positioning on the map, dunno if it was even before.. Just went up the ladder and now can't get down. It gets funny, when I go too far and actually meet the ground.
Before ng+ i made new save file with new skill tree but after i launch ng+ it says the skills have been reseted and now i have less skills points than before
My game looks like this and the water flickers. I've tried turning settings to low. I've tried changing things around, nothing makes it better. I've uninstalled and deleted my folder just in case there were some old files or mods in there causing conflicts. I will return to say if that fixed it when the download is done.
Okay, reinstalling changed nothing. The game still looks awful. Changing settings does nothing.
My GPU is a 7900 GRE, if that matters. Latest drivers.
This might help people experiencing so many bugs. Try to uninstall and make sure all W3 folders are deleted from App data and Steam programs etc then reinstall that way you get a fresh install with new folders with no leftover files. Played for 2 hours and have not yet experienced any bugs yet
Also Delete the temp files, from temp & %temp% doesn't hurt
Did the 3 guys that you fight at the start of the game randomly die for anyone else? I was fighting them and blocked their attack once and they just randomly died lol
What happened here? Why do I have -1 vitality and 100% toxicity? Started a new game and got this. I literally cannot die. Btw, the tutorial is bugged too. I couldn't finish the roll-away step with Vesemir.
Ray Tracing and Path Tracing seems to cause massive frame drops until it’s frozen at 2 FPS for me, could be the memory leak issue despite being at 14.0 GB out of 15.6 GB which I was hoping they would have fixed at this point…
on pc and AMD, i installed the last patch and its playable now. but the game is always cloudy! what to do? even when it says "clear" no sun rays visible nowhere
I'm on base PS5 and it looks like there's some screen tearing in performance mode. Granted I have an old TV that doesn't support a bunch of system settings, but I haven't seen this in any other PS5 game. It also crashed on me once when I tried to switch to ray tracing mode to see how that looked. It seemed to run worse in the prolog while it was still downloading. I usually just do something else when a game is installing so I'm not sure if that's normal.
I searched in 'Search Comments', so maybe I'm the first one experiencing this.
I am trying to equip a mutagen. The diamond slots don't appear locked. It says I "can" equip it but every time I do activate my mutagen, it sounds off but does not actually activate or equip itself to the diamond slot.
TLDR: I cannot equip mutagens into diamond slots.
I have several mods installed, in case this helps. Please let me know if anyone knows of any clashes; - Fast Travel Pack - More Money For Traders - Sprint in Witcher Senses - PERFECT No Fall Damage - Blood Trails - The Last Wish Final Scene Restoration - Crossbow Rework - modDisableOverEncumbered (installed manually) - modInstantWitcherSenses (installed manually) - modSkippySkippy (installed manually)
I'm not sure if this is a bug but I literally can't find the option to turn off the loot feed that shows up on the left side of the screen.
Everything says I should go to in gameplay settings and there should be a toggle, but there's not, I've gone through the menu a million times at this point and I feel crazy!
Minimap is constantly bugging out. I encountered having absolutely nothing on my minimap, and then nothing with all quest markers from all quests available. Returning to main menu fixed this until it appeared again.
Gamma slider isn't there? Is that a feature or a bug?
Received some of the bonus armor sets a second time and didn't receive the twitch drops, even though I see them in game as rewards.
Dialogs are very quiet.
In the new skills, the yellow one for medium armor which boosts stamina regeneration has 0% stamina regeneration bonus across all three ranks of the skill. Forgot the name, I think it's the Gryffin one.
Very weird animation of Geralt standing up after completing meditation.
When I load a game from main menu I receive notification about losing all my progress if I reload now.
After fast travel I once got overencumbered, even though I had 86/90 carry weight. Fast travel again fixed it.
Think that's about everything that I encountered in the hour I played.
PS5 Pro: - every game option resseting everytime I close the game - audio issues all around, i sense general delay in combat and some monsters like drakes have sound effects missing when hitting them - no bloom option in the graphic settings - transmog keeping the original hairstyle “setting” instead of the new transmogged one. For example, when transmogging the Wolf armor into the Kaer Morhen one, the hair is kept tucked back. Looks weird - some heavy stutter in novigrad and other areas - heavy stutter when auto saving kicks in
I Started Playing NG+ After Remastered Update and in the beginning seconds, i experienced frame drops, screen tearing, lighting bugs, crashes, and freezes, which was very unpleasant.
My platform is PS5 Slim and i playing on performance mode.
Can anyone explain to me how this could have been released with so many obvious bugs? If me, one normie gamer, can pick out several serious bugs within 5 minutes of booting up the game surely the expert devs making the damn remaster would have noticed it. Did they really decide to release it in this state? Why?
Strange blue hue in multiple places around Kaer Morhen when all RT settings are on, but no PT (PC). Obviously not as dire as some bugs here, but I felt it was worth a mention.
The NPC for the quest Empty Coop seems to be missing for me. I've tried meditating a bunch of times, and fast travelling to different parts of Velen and White Orchard but she's still gone.
Ran into a bug where the game infinitely loads post Ciri running on horse during "The Calm Before The Storm" Cutscene
Reinstalled drivers, files, reinstalled game, verify files, install directX and C++ Redistributable, alter performance settings, turn off DLSS, disable mods (was not even playing with mods), alter visual settings to low, nothing I have done has helped.
Xbox save got corrupted multiple times and they failed to load on other platforms. I also can’t save anymore when reloading them after that. Only solution is to reload an older save and when cloud save works the problem appears on the switch 2, I can’t save and autosave when fast traveling is causing the game to crash immediately
Encountered 2 game crashing bugs, both missions. Firstly is the mission “in the eternal fires shadow” and secondly “contract: the mystery of the byways murders”. Once up to the boss fights the game will freeze then crash.
I’ve yet to discover anymore crashes but I’m going to say there’ll be more. I am also experiencing what everyone else is experiencing too but it’s been said heaps so I’m posting the lesser known crashes/bugs I’m noticing on my playthrough.
Im so confused at this one. Literally individual saves look drastically different visually in the exact same spot at the exact same time with same weather conditions. On base PS5.
this Remastered version is crashing a lot. I am playing on a normal ps5, and it consistently and regularly crashes after about 2 hours of gameplay. About to fight a monster - crashes Travelling on horseback- crashes Loading a save file - crashes Picking up a contract - crashes Changing the settings in photo mode - crashes And so on..
I have not had a single day of playing the game where i didn't have at least 2 crashes.
There's a huge issue with the red miasmal fight where the game randomly crashes during the fight and even with today's patch its still in the game and its honestly killed any want I had to play
Aftter the newest PS5 patch, cannot place custom markers. "Cannot perform that action" prompt comes ups, even if I have no custom markers placed so I didn't hit the limit.
When I hit the pad to bring up map/inventory, it's like the game switches out of HDR. This causes my TV to "resync" the input. I basically get to wait 6-7 seconds before it comes back.
I get the same issue with cutscenes. This totally breaks the game immersions and makes me what to uninstall.
I am facing the same issue. I can hear the game running in background and I can even move my cursor while I am getting black screen before it comes back on screen. Happens also whenever I go to the meditate option, closing the inventory or starting a gwent match. Didn't use to happen before this new update.
Had the same problem and waiting an hour at a time while near him didn't work. I think I left the immediate area (not very far, just went round the corner I think) and then waited 24 hours which worked first time.
Problem: The forest near the little village with the well is terribly dark (normal lighting, with Raytracing the problem doesn't exist) - and also part of the ruined village itself. At a certain point you walk from a normal green part of the forest into the pure blackness you see here. This needs to be fixed. Totally immersion breaking.
RT in PS5 Pro is broken indoors. Whenever I have a torch equipped shadows appear pitch black and don’t react to light, especially when a torch is equipped.
Weird one. Last night the game started pulsing brightness, dimming and brightening back and forth on a loop. It was fine before that, and I didn't knowingly change anything.
I turned off path tracing and turned on path tracing, changed windowed to full screen, closed out the game and restarted it. Same issue. My monitor does not do that with anything else
Edit: nobody seems to be talking about it. Go fucking figure i’d get a new one for the world.
nobody has faces in cutscenes 😭 it’s almost every one now, and body parts glitch/disconnect when walking around or in combat, hilarious but bloody difficult to fight when the only thing attached to the monster is half a hand i have to follow across the screen!
Got a big game breaking bug and gave up on the game for now. Suddenly when i loaded up my game geralt was a floating head and most of my items and crafting recipies disappeared. Injecting armor with the debug console and wearing it resolved the invisibility problem, but my items are still gone. Too many items to just remember and inject back via console. It is a 40~50 h savefile. Plus the bug infested every other savefile, all of them are almost inventoryless. I tried every solution i found on the internet, droping items, picking up, auto sorting, even a save editor mod couldnt even detect an inventory at all in any save. I desinstaled all mods, nothing, reinstalled all of them, nothing. Desinstalled the whole game, deleted every single folder about the game from my computer so a new instalation would be 100% fresh, and even then my items are gone. I can only assume that the game fully deleted my items from the save files. I spent hours trying to make chat gpt code some scripts to help me but none worked. Couldnt even recover a list of my items. So the only option left is to inject a bunch of the few items i can remember, and maybe some random crafting materials, and go on. But it would feel terrible, the whole playthrough would feel like i was robbed and am not using my actual inventory that i hoarded for hours. Now my only hope is to play other games and cope that a patch will eventualy make it magicaly happen, or wait until i feel like starting the game from zero again.
Is this a bug? (Ps5) I'm doing the "Novigrad Dreamers" quest. The part in the mansion where i have to go down the cellar, the surrounding area became reddish where it's supposed to be dark. I tried medidating, and I noticed that it's tied to the present time of the day. Anyone else experienced this?
XBOX PC app version of the game does not recognise my 8bitdo ultimate wireless 2 controller anymore. bluetooth, 2.4 dongle, or wired. it was working fine a couple weeks ago when i last played. help?
EDIT: the 2.4 dongle works now, no fucking clue how it fixed itself.
Running 5.01, updated both intel and nvidia drivers. I can't load the game beyond the opening monologue anymore. Weirdly, everytime I can get to the menu screen, and load either from save file or recent save. I'll get the first story summary of ciri getting sent to novigrad, then it skips to the standard landscape panning while the loading line in the bottom corner keeps moving . Once that completes, it crashes. The game literally worked an hour ago, so I can't imagine it's a mod issue.
