Witcher 3 PS4 Pro HDR issues

CD Projekt RED has been promising a PS4 Pro HDR patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for months, and the patch finally released this week. While fans were thrilled to finally get this patch downloaded, many are reporting that it’s actually doing more harm than good at this point in time.

The 1.61 update has been downloaded by many fans, and users on the official CD Projekt RED forums are reporting some horrendous pop-up and draw distance issues. This is conveyed well in a video uploaded by YouTuber Qbon83, which you can watch below.

As you can see, this definitely is distracting no matter how picky you are with your graphics. This certainly isn’t what fans were expecting from a patch that they’ve been waiting months for, but thankfully the developer is aware of the issue and is looking into addressing it. Users are currently getting this response from the developer regarding the issue:

“Hello,

I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused by this situation. We are aware of this issue and our development team is investigating how to address it.

For now, only changing the 4k resolution to something less can help. If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate and contact us by simply responding to this e-mail.”

It remains to be seen how long it will take for the developer to roll out a fix for this issue, but considering how long it took for the actual update to arrive… don’t hold your breath. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It originally released in 2015, receiving critical acclaim across all supported platforms. It serves as the conclusion to protagonist Geralt’s story, with the developer moving away from the series for the time being and focusing on the upcoming sci-fi RPG called Cyberpunk 2077.

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?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

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.
