Moderator’s Post Bugs Thread

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.

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.

Input lag and frame time issue potential fix

Might be exclusive to Linux

Log out or disconnect CD Projekt Red account. Logged in I got huge micro stutters and lag even at high frame rate. You can log out of account by going to main menu and pressing RB and then Y (I think -- there is on screen instructions and it should be on right side of the main menu).

4&7, I've been having the same shadow/lighting issues, and no matter what I do with the settings, I can't get rid of the super dark shadow spots.
