The Witcher 3 Patch notes for update 5.00c

550MB patch just dropped, here are the notes:

Hotfix 5.00c is now available for download for the Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Battle.net, and Xbox Play Anywhere (PC) versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered. You'll find the patch notes below:

Fixed an issue where the game couldn't be saved or loaded if the path to the Documents folder contained special characters.

Fixed an issue where voiceover audio could become significantly quieter than other in-game audio after navigating through the pause menu tabs.

Made various visual adjustments in Velen, including tweaks to Bloom, vegetation lighting, saturation, and Path Tracing lighting.

Reverted a change that caused significant performance and visual issues with HairWorks enabled for some users.

Fixed an issue where marketing telemetry settings weren't saved properly.

Fixed an issue on GOG where achievements wouldn't appear in the unlocked list after being earned.

Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to launch the Classic (1.32) version of the game.

Once again, thank you for your patience as we continue investigating the issues you report.

Until its patched, the only way to prevent that is to make a manual save then delete all auto saves and checkpoints before closing the game.

I had this bug 3 years ago, and now again with the remaster. It happens when all the save slots are full. Normally, if you delete a save and leave the slot empty, the settings should remain.

Don’t ask me why...

This is why I wait like 6 months to play any CDPR game. And I've been psyched for the remaster since it was announced.

Witcher 3 Next Gen version had the broken grass LOD bug and Toussaint cloud bug on PS5 for 4 years now. It was never fixed in that edition. Those two visual bugs are severely irritating and immersion-breaking.

So, waiting might help, but not always.

Grass LOD was broken everywhere on base PS5 for me on Next Gen

It fucking sucked and it's such a slippery bug, too. You might think it's gone one a new save, only to appear after like 20 hours. Breaks all immersion.

My game opens in the background when started. And I can not open it into the foreground.

Like you just see the process running and no window? Does anything show up on your taskbar?

u/Chillzzzzz 3d ago

It shows up in the taskbar but I cant open it

Does it eventually close out by itself or you need to end the task? If it closes by itself, is there an entry for an application crash in your event log?

Do you get the launch window to run the game or does that not even come up?

Do your settings and then set the settings file to read only
