The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt patch pakt onder andere problemen met ray tracing modus aan

Je kunt van CD Projekt RED zeggen wat je wilt, maar de ontwikkelaar blijft zijn games in ieder geval lang ondersteunen. Dit bewijzen ze wederom met een nieuwe patch voor The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Update 4.04 pakt een aantal problemen aan. Als je de actie-RPG speelt op een Xbox Series X of PlayStation 5 en gebruikmaakt van de ray tracing modus, draaide het spel niet altijd even stabiel. Dit wordt met de nieuwe patch nu verbeterd.

Voor de pc-versie geldt dat na het installeren van deze update alles weer overal goed wordt weergegeven. De volledige changelog van update 4.04 is als volgt:

CONSOLE-SPECIFIC

• Fixed an issue where certain hairstyles from the “Beard and Hairstyle Set” DLC would clip through the Nilfgaardian helmet on previous-gen consoles.
• Fixed an issue with flickering textures that occurred during Gwent matches on next-gen consoles.
• A Towerful of Mice – Fixed an issue on previous-gen consoles where the conversation with Keira would sometimes not trigger after the fight with the pesta.
• Cabaret – Fixed some visual issues with Dandelion’s model before and during the staged fight on previous-gen consoles.
• The Last Wish and Wandering in the Dark – Fixed an issue where the game could crash on PlayStation 5 during these quests.
