The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has had a good run, hasn't it? Since the game launched all the way back in May of 2015, developer CD Projekt Red has supported it with a ton of free downloadable content, two superb expansions, and numerous updates that have both fixed and added a huge amount of stuff. And with the deserved Game of the Year Edition - which includes all additional content - releasing today on PlayStation 4, the Polish studio is throwing out one last patch to celebrate. Apparently, it'll be available to download very soon on Sony's system, so be sure to keep an eye out.
The latest update isn't the biggest that the game's ever seen, but it includes some welcome bits and pieces all the same. It fixes a bunch of remaining quest-related bugs as well as some combat-specific issues, while also tweaking the randomised loot system for good measure. Oh, and Vimme Vivaldi - the rich banking dwarf from Novigrad - is supposedly sporting a "fresh look". You can check out all of the patch notes through here.

Still playing? Embarrassingly im yet to even start... It sits atop my teetering pile of shame 😔 i played for a couple of hours on release but it wasn't gaming me at the time. I do hear i need to stick with it and it will grab me eventually
@EddyM Yeah, the frame rate is generally a lot better - I believe the developer patched that up not too long after launch.
I think I will get the GOTY edition at some point but not until I have seriously thinned out my backlog.
CD Projekt Red should be applauded for the amount of updates they have added to the game.
one of the best games ever made.
Patch is out now Commander
@shadowman1 It is known.
I tried this game did not enjoy it that much and was taking up a lot of space so deleted it. Preffered the combat in DAI.
GOTY is out today? Boy, that was fast. Was thinking about picking this up for Christmas instead of FFXV after all the nonsense with that one lately, being out today means there might even be a sale by Christmas. FFXV can wait until they are done doing whatever.
@EddyM Yeah it was awful at launch. I actually got headaches while playing it which had never happened to me before from a game. It wasn't just sub-20fps at times, it also had this odd lurching thing. I recently bought it again on PC where it runs at 60fps and it's honestly like a different game.
Anyway, they apparently managed to get it closer to 30fps on PS4 in the end.

The article also gives a tip:
"By running The Witcher 3 with the 'blur' and 'motion blur' effects disabled - as seen in its post-processing settings menu - PS4 is capable of getting closer to the 30fps line."
This patch seems pretty hefty. 871mb on Steam at least.
