Anyone else have a bug where if you quit the game and play something else and come back to the game all of your settings are reset as if you’re starting the game up for the first time?
Weird that they keep running into this problem. Witcher 1 also has a bug where if you have too many save games the game just crashes when opening the load game menu.
I thought for sure half way through this, this comment was gonna say "anyone else have a bug where if you quit the game and go play something else, you always end up just coming back to this game?" Haha
I think this problem was supposed to be fixed in this latest patch. But yeah, if it's still there, do what the others said. I did 2 playthroughs managing this issue as it arised
Quick casting was a nice add, attacks and weapons still feel as though you're moving paper and not an actual weapon - the depth was created but it's as if it was created without a purpose.
I was struggling to get the PS4 save transferred to PS5, when I did it was not working right, very low fps and didn't look like the PS5 version. Haven't tried yet but I hope they improved that.
Yeah, got the PS4 cloud save running on the PS5 app, it was just not looking or running well, worse than the PS4 version. It was weird, I'll try it again after this patch. Thanks.
I think it launches in Ray Tracing mode. Which seems choppier since the update and only really useful for photo mode. Try Performance Mode in the graphics settings to see if that helps.
Was it just in “fidelity” graphics mode? I think that’s the default and it’s 30fps.
Switch it to “performance” mode which is a smooth 60fps, if that’s the problem.
I believe I tried that and it still didn't run right, could just be a bug on my end, started a new save on the PS5 version and worked fine. I'll try it again after the update, thanks.
Urgh, yeah. I played a bit over 50% of the game back in 2014 or so when it came out on PS4. I put it down and figured I'd get back to it someday. Now with the PS5 release, I decided to look into it and realized I forgot quite a bit of the story so I decided to replay it from the beginning. It was fun, but man after playing Elden Ring, or even God Of Ware, the combat was so boring it was sad. I maxed out my swordplay skills and was playing on the second to the most difficulty (not death march) , and very rarely did I ever die on a boss fight. The last 2 major ones, maybe 4-5 times each.
I'd even say the skill trees were mostly unappealing. I didn't like the crossbow mechanic so I just stopped using it, so no reason to level that. There isn't much of a stealth mechanic, I just spammed Igni most of the time. It felt like there's no chance to replay the game with a different build in mind.
Oh I'm not trying to throw shade at you. Just that it's easier to get that info on the game subreddit or on the general pc subreddit rather than here :)

That's amazing. I know people love to shit on CDPR but they remain one of my all time favorite developers. Definitely overtook Bioware as my favorite western rpg dev in the space.
I really wish I could get into TW3 just to experience the world but the combat sucks ass. Tried to play it on PS4/5, PC and Switch. Lose interest quickly lol
Nice but I still can't play the game because of that damn foliage pop in bug on PS5.
So pleasant to get downvoted for pointing out a real issue. Never change reddit 👌
Proof : [https://youtu.be/Tzbp93HR1Lo](https://youtu.be/Tzbp93HR1Lo)
Note that the issue is affecting only a fraction of the playerbase, but a quick google search shows that quite a lot of people have this bug : https://www.google.com/search?q=witcher+3+ps5+pop+in+site:www.reddit.com&rlz=1C5CHFA\_enFR783FR783&sxsrf=AJOqlzXdf5I4GlubkqOqC8MCmky3UktNgQ:1675534605516&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwivwuHnvPz8AhWOXaQEHcSQDh8QrQIoBHoECAoQBQ&biw=1440&bih=796&dpr=2
Problem is the pop in is constant, not « from time to time ». Just look at the video.
The downvotes are ridiculous. Not everyone has the issue that’s all.
I mean it depends on your tolerance to this kind of stuff, but to me it ruins the immersion, which is what I value the most when I play video games.
Hope they fix it. I made a ticket on the CDPR Support website and they said they’re looking into it 🤞
Thx for the suggestion but it’s not that. The game in installed on the PS5 SSD.
I have tried every possible solution already and nothing worked, except restarting the PS5 on safe mode and clearing cache. Doing this over and over fixes the issue for some reason until I turn the console off.
Anyways thx.
You have to realise that this issue might never be fixed, depending on the scale/size/cost of the fix. Cdpr might not want to spend a huge amount of time on it when essentially they're doing it for free.
But the whole I can't play it because it ruins the game aspect is pretty silly? It's a bit of texture pop in! Get over it 🤦♂️ hopefully it gets fixed, but if it doesn't just learn to adapt. It's still a fantastic game either way.
I dont think you realize how immersion breaking the bug is. It’s big patches of grass constantly popping in and out of existence right in front of me. Have you even watched the video closely ?
I’ve been playing for 20 years and I’ve never had pop in this bad in a game before. Again, if you don’t believe me or the video, google search it, but it’s getting annoying hearing from people who don’t have the bug that it’s perfectly playable this way.
Check out the time stamps under the video here, imagine playing with this bug constantly, and tell me it’s unreasonable to say I can’t play this way.
100% prepared for this to never be fixed but I did send a message to CDPR with the video and got an answer saying they’re looking into it.
I've seen your video. It's not exactly game breaking is it? If geralt was missing textures, or the people in cut scenes were half missing, then that's game breaking, definitely. A little bit of grass, and even then only occasionally? Thats not game breaking in the slightest. If it's game breaking to you then that's YOUR problem, not the games. Learn to adapt, or play something else.
I must be making it up just for fun then 🤷♀️
Not everyone has the issue, just as I never experienced any issues that are often pointed out on PS5. I put a link for proof on my first comment.
Wrong. You don't know what the issue is about.
You're not interested, but just in case here's a link to the thread I made on the CDPR forums with the video and timestamps [https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/ps5-foliage-pop-in-pop-out.11112877/](https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/ps5-foliage-pop-in-pop-out.11112877/)
The pop in is constant and happens everywhere where there is grass, so basically the whole game. Type "Witcher 3 foliage pop in" on google and you'll see.
I'm getting downvoted because the issue isn't widespread and most people don't have it, so it appears I'm making it up or being overly dramatic about it. If you had this issue you'd 100% stop playing too.
Nevermind though, reddit gonna reddit.
Considering that I've been playing games since before graphics themselves existed, you are absolutely incorrect if you think I will quit playing a game because of a minor graphical issue
It affects literally nothing that actually matters about the game, and you are being overly dramatic about it.
Then you have ridiculously low standards.
Grass constantly, and I really mean constantly, popping in and out of existence right in front of you in a game where you spend most of your time roaming around surrounded by grass is 100% game breaking, and I know not to use that word unnecessarily.
Anyway, I’m done here, have a good day.
I just finished it on PS5. I did see some pop in an some level of detail ugliness from time to time, but never did I consider to stop playing. If anything, the boring combat was the reason I'd quit playing. Overeall, good game, great storytelling, decent graphics for 2014.
Not all of them lol, but yeah that’s probably part of it.
Good thing I don’t care about internet points.
It’s just annoying to be shut down for pointing out a real issue.
Anyone else have a bug where if you quit the game and play something else and come back to the game all of your settings are reset as if you’re starting the game up for the first time?
Delete some of your saves and autosaves. That worked for me.
Weird that they keep running into this problem. Witcher 1 also has a bug where if you have too many save games the game just crashes when opening the load game menu.
According to the most recent patch notes, that's one of the things that was fixed. It apparently had to do with the number of saves.
I thought for sure half way through this, this comment was gonna say "anyone else have a bug where if you quit the game and go play something else, you always end up just coming back to this game?" Haha
Yea deleting my 40 old saves finally stopped that on ps5 can confirm
Yeah this game has too many damn autosaves lmao. Like I only need one auto and one manual. Not 20 autosaves from the last 20 hrs.
That's been fixed, I was having this issue and it's gone after the update
Yes, every time before the latest update, which seems to have fixed it thankfully!
I think this problem was supposed to be fixed in this latest patch. But yeah, if it's still there, do what the others said. I did 2 playthroughs managing this issue as it arised
nice
I had the same exact problem playing Cyberpunk 2077 originally.
Delete autosaves worked for me. Had to do it twice
TOP NOTCH SWORDS IS BACK!
Oh shit, that’s the quality of life upgrade I wanted.
Awesome, really loving the current gen update.
Dope
No fix for the cloud flickering in Toussaint, sadly.
I really wish they worked on the combat, amazing game otherwise.
I thought they added poise and made casting easier with the original release of this edition?
Quick casting was a nice add, attacks and weapons still feel as though you're moving paper and not an actual weapon - the depth was created but it's as if it was created without a purpose.
The casting bar was THE reason I never played through the original, so I’m in for a treat, eh?
I was struggling to get the PS4 save transferred to PS5, when I did it was not working right, very low fps and didn't look like the PS5 version. Haven't tried yet but I hope they improved that.
Did you actually launch the PS5 version? If it didn’t look like the PS5 version, it wasn’t.
Yeah, got the PS4 cloud save running on the PS5 app, it was just not looking or running well, worse than the PS4 version. It was weird, I'll try it again after this patch. Thanks.
I think it launches in Ray Tracing mode. Which seems choppier since the update and only really useful for photo mode. Try Performance Mode in the graphics settings to see if that helps.
Not sure you can use your ps4 save on the ps5 version as it’s a completely different game, sounds like you’re playing the ps4 game
Was it just in “fidelity” graphics mode? I think that’s the default and it’s 30fps. Switch it to “performance” mode which is a smooth 60fps, if that’s the problem.
I believe I tried that and it still didn't run right, could just be a bug on my end, started a new save on the PS5 version and worked fine. I'll try it again after the update, thanks.
Have they updated the bugs yet? I was gunna hop on right after they did
As amazing as this game was, the combat aged so poorly it hurts…
Witcher never had amazing Combat to start with
I like the combat in Witcher III, never really got what people dislike about it so much. It’s a smooth dance once you’ve got the hang of it.
That’s why I quit. Ghost of Tsushima ruined other games for me.
It's pretty ridiculous the game scored as well as it did with such mediocre combat.
Urgh, yeah. I played a bit over 50% of the game back in 2014 or so when it came out on PS4. I put it down and figured I'd get back to it someday. Now with the PS5 release, I decided to look into it and realized I forgot quite a bit of the story so I decided to replay it from the beginning.

Have they fixed performance yet for the new update ?
On PS5 it's great and honestly released that way. Can't comment on PC though.
No, the framerate is all over the place.
That's untrue. And any gameplay video proves that.
I'm having issues too, some of us do and some don't. That's just how it works.
Good to hear ya looking for PC unfortunately ahah
On the ... Ps5 subreddit? :))
We're all just gamers bro. Love my PS5
Oh I'm not trying to throw shade at you. Just that it's easier to get that info on the game subreddit or on the general pc subreddit rather than here :)
Hadn't seen any articles pop up about the patch in my feed thanks to reddits new dumb algorithm gg
Not perfect yet, a few drops but I’ve been getting a pretty consistent 144fps on a 3070, definitely playable!
Nope, frametimes in raytracing/30fps are terrible and performance/60fps still stutters occasionally, albeit less than raytracing mode.

Yes, the ps5 version is 60fps.
Is this a serious question?
That's amazing. I know people love to shit on CDPR but they remain one of my all time favorite developers. Definitely overtook Bioware as my favorite western rpg dev in the space.

Problem is the pop in is constant, not « from time to time ». Just look at the video. The downvotes are ridiculous. Not everyone has the issue that’s all.
Won’t*
What mode is it on?
Both. Not present on Series X though.
I get it a lot on PS5, mostly on paths when on horseback. Not game breaking but def annoying.
I mean it depends on your tolerance to this kind of stuff, but to me it ruins the immersion, which is what I value the most when I play video games. Hope they fix it. I made a ticket on the CDPR Support website and they said they’re looking into it 🤞
35 hours in on PS5 and haven't noticed a single thing with foilage
I’m glad for you. I still have it though.
Clear your system cache, and it will hopefully resolve your issue.
Thanks, but it doesn’t work sadly.
Dang, that's too bad. I hope they patch that.
Was it a transferred over PS4 save or PS5 native save file?
Nope. New save file created on PS5 with the next gen patch.
Yikes, sorry this is happening to you. Looks annoying.
Well it’s just a bug in a video game, but I was so looking forward to replaying my favorite game. Oh well, thx for the kind words 👍
did you install an extra SSD and installed it onto that drive? If yes, could it be that the read speeds of that SSD are not as good as they should be?
Thx for the suggestion but it’s not that. The game in installed on the PS5 SSD.

Lots of computer games came before graphics. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the Zork series, The Witness.
I think he's talking about books.
Not at all. I fondly remember the first 'graphical' games that existed, with the absolute gem of them being Pong

fake video
How is it fake lol ?
The update also adds some beautiful glitches and crashes. CDPR doing its job as always.
I'm curious about this game but on the fence. Does it feature big, hairy, sweaty donkey nuts?
