Details Of The Next Witcher 3 Patch
The latest Witcher 3 patch will be out soon. The patch will mainly focus on fixing various glitches with the game, some of which were seriously hindering many players. Since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released nearly two weeks ago, CD Projekt RED has released three new patches for the PC version and one for Xbox One and PS4.
“As you know we don’t stop working to keep bringing you new updates,” CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Momot said in a forum post detailing patch 1.05. He outlined some of the more important changes coming with the patch, including the removal of candles near loot chests. The candles were infuriating many players as the button pressed to light them is the same as the button used to open chests, which lead to people standing there, trying to open chests, achieving nothing more than lighting and putting out candles.
The patch also aims to improve the game’s stability and performance, although previous patches which claimed to do this actually caused a few graphics issues. Aside from this, as well as a few fixes for cutscene performance and enlarging HUD elements, the patch mainly focuses on fixing the game’s many glitches. Chief among them is the glitch in the quest, Pyres Of Novigrad, which caused some players to be unable to finish the quest. Since this quest was one of the main quests, it made completing the game’s story impossible for those affected.
Also to be fixed is the bug that prevented some players from being able to mount their horse. This was a major problem as Geralt’s movement on foot is siginificantly lower than when he is on horseback, and The Witcher 3 thrives on having players explore the vast world.
Some other changes include fixing the issue causing the game to crash sometimes when loading save files, fixing Geralt’s inability to activate a portal during the Wandering In The Dark quest, and fixing an infinite loading screen that some players would get during the King’s Gambit quest. The glitch that caused quests to not give any experience if the player is too low a level will also be fixed.
Momot promised that several more fixes would be on the way, as well as plenty more patches in the future. CD Projekt RED has made clear their intentions to continue to fully support The Witcher 3 well into the future.
Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?
Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.
Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
