Yet another PC patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from developer CD Projekt RED. It’s ruthlessly hunting down those troublesome glitches and bugs, but also adds a little extra like support for 1280 x 720 screen size.
There’s also a new button to ‘Unlock Bindings’ in the options menu for full customisation of keys. Presets for high and ultra settings have been improved, and Nvidia Hairworks has had another tune-up.
Doubtlessly the studio is still working hard on technical and bug related issues. In an RPG as large as this it can be difficult to spot trouble until its being put through its paces by thousands. Every few weeks we’re also due more free DLC until we reach later this year for the first big instalment extending the game through the Expansion Pass.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released on PC May 19th. Our review is currently in progress.
