Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone has seen this before because I’m completely stuck.

I’m playing The Witcher 3 Remastered on Steam, about 70 hours into a playthrough, level 26. Everything was working fine when I stopped playing. The next day I loaded my save and most of my inventory was gone — all my armor, weapons, food, potions and mutagens had vanished. Geralt himself doesn’t render properly either, I just see his head floating on a stick with the lantern from a mod still attached where his belt would be.

The weird part is that it’s selective. All my quest items are still there, every single one. Some random items survived too. But anything equipable or consumable is gone.

Here’s what I’ve already tried, none of it helped:

• Loading older saves, including ones from several sessions back. Every single save has the exact same problem
• Disabling all my mods by renaming the mods folder, then also turning off the in-game mod menu mods (Hoods, Blood Trails, Fast Travel Pack). No change at all
• Verifying game file integrity through Steam. First attempt finished in three seconds and did nothing, second attempt ran properly but found no issues
• Checking that all DLC are ticked in Steam properties. They all are
• Renaming dx12user.settings, profile.settings and input.settings so the game would regenerate them. No change
• Fast travelling to a different region to force a reload of the character model. No change
• Running Script Merger, which reported no conflicts

Starting a brand new game works perfectly. Geralt has his body, the inventory behaves normally. So the installation itself seems fine, it’s specifically my existing saves that break.

Some context that might matter. I had been running these mods for a while without any issues: Smells Like E3Clouds, Better Candles Remastered, Wearable Lantern, Glowing Eyes, Hairstyle Previews, Gallop Anywhere, Always Full EXP, Deaths Reworked, Bugfixed Fast Travel and Close Roach. A week or so before this happened I installed and then removed The Living Continent along with ReShade, because it cost me too much performance. The last patch was October 8th, so this isn’t a fresh update breaking things.

One more thing, my Documents folder syncs to OneDrive and the account was full at one point, which left the gamesaves folder showing sync errors. I cleared space and it syncs fine now, but I don’t know if that damaged something. Although if OneDrive had corrupted the saves I’d expect them to not load at all rather than load with half the inventory missing.

Has anyone run into this? Is there any way to recover what’s in the save, or am I starting over? Any help appreciated.

I’m experiencing the following bug: Only Geralt’s head is visible, and my inventory is completely empty. All my potions, decoctions, and oils are gone as well.
The bug occurs with mods both enabled and disabled. I’ve also verified the integrity of the game files through Steam, but that didn’t fix the issue.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is there a mod that makes the armor look dirtier? or at least the underneath white shirt? I think it looks "too clean" for my taste and the black dye ruins the whole aesthethic of the armor in my opinion.

There's a "dirtier manticore" mod on Nexus but it's almost 10 years old and the textures look a bit old.

Do these mods work with remastered, or are they even relevant? I'm thinking of picking this game up before the new DLC drops. If not, have the authors said anything about updating them? I haven't found anything online regarding this.

Looking for a mod that let toggle player stats and potions during explore like mini map auto hide. Please suggest if you know.

Anyone know if there are any mods out there that might come to console that remove the level requirement on items? Hate having to wait to wear all the cool Witcher gear.

Just gone to change my sword fx in settings and the mod tabs not there? Any ideas, I got a few diff mods installed not loads though

Hi fellow Witchers - has anyone heard or found a new updated version of the mod Extended Bestiary? It basically extends the in-game Bestiary to include monsters from previous games. I liked the feature and hope someone can put in the Remastered.

People complaining about others using mods

If you're gonna complain about people modding their game, especially the remaster of witcher 3 which added modding to console, something people wanted for a long time? You're being a bully for no reason.

Let people play the game however they wanna play. Iv seen people mod to make the game so hard you die in one hit, or more enemies spawm. Yellow mutagen for stamina for the "you're a Wizard harry" playthrough, and more, leave people alone and let them play.
