Nice of CDPR to lip sync to English.

Unless they actually have different sync for different languages, which would be awesome but a crazy amount of work.

Also I've killed everything so, unless I wanna wait until things start respawning, I guess I just don't get my second emerald dust :(

If it's the same as Witcher 2, stuff respawns every 24 hours so you can just meditate until the next day - it's how I farmed endrega teeth for a sword. Granted I don't know how quick waiting time passes in this one though.

I assumed that the story is being recounted by Dandelion as an old man.

Also, a bit of advice to those experiencing crashes: if the game minimizes, don't hit f5 and try to salvage your progress. Doing so totally deleted my previous quicksave.

Wow this game is good. Getting around 30-40fps with big dips only during some cutscenes or when theres a lot of heavy effects on my 660 Ti with everything on High and a few things on ultra but no Hairworks

Running dual 970s in SLI with the updated nVidia drivers. Anyone have ideas?

I was wrong about my computer probably being able to run it despite only being a tier below on the GPU. Stuttery, ugly and makes it run super hot. I'll pick up the PS4 version some day when it's cheap.

It's a GTX 560 for reference so if you're checking the thread wondering and have that card, skip it!

Well, guess that 960 I ordered just now will be needed.

Small chance of that...
Game seems great so far.

But how long has it been since Witcher 2 and what has Geralt been doing? Because W2 ends with Triss and Geralt being like "we're gonna go find Yennifer and Ciri now" but this one starts with Geralt and Vesemir hanging out killing monsters for at least 6 months.

Hesitation is defeat.
My name is Geralt of Rivia, and not only am I the worst witcher in the world, but I may also be the worst horseback rider in the world.
But if you ignore my issues, my horse is a great witcher when he's not photobombing cutscenes by standing around not giving a poo poo.

In all seriousness I think I may need to bump difficulty up to Death March because I haven't encountered anything I couldn't kill in one go yet.

At 1080p and medium-high settings he's getting a reasonably consistent 30fps. If I can get 1080p and a locked 30 by turning a couple of things down, I'm happy with that.

I wasn't moaning. If you actually read the post slowly instead of jumping to conclusions you would have inferred that I assumed the game would look like it does anyway.

The trailers were too far of a leap in graphical improvement. It's like every assassins creed 'gameplay' trailer.

So I downloaded GoG Galaxy, but forgot to change the install directory to my HDD before I clicked install, and there wasn't enough space on my SSD. I then changed the directory in Galaxy settings, but it's still saying 'not enough space'. So I uninstalled the Galaxy client and reinstalled it onto the HDD, now Galaxy won't start at all.

Next stop was the GoG Downloader, but no games are showing up in it at all for some reason, and Google isn't helping. My last choice is to just download it manually from the GoG website, but it's so much slower and cumbersome to do it this way. It would have been nice for them to iron out all these kinks in their stuff before such a major release. :sigh:

e: OK I got it fixed by reinstalling Galaxy back onto the SSD and changing the install directory, and deleting some temp files from my Users folder.

Generally the "Out of Space" errors in Galaxy I believe were caused by Galaxy not having admin rights to install anywhere but C:\GOG\.

I'll definitely try that. I won't get a chance to play more until tomorrow evening, but I was getting the freezes strictly in inventory/loot screens, I'll let people know if this helps me.

I think the Geralt controls like rear end. Always taking forever to speed up and slow down. Impossible to do slight movement without having to run in a circle beforehand.

Also the game keeps crashing whenever I read stuff in the inventory. I think it has something to do with flagging for quests, or receiving items (recipes of some sort) or bestiary stuff. Usually something that would be accompanied by big text showing up on the left side of the screen when you would resume the game.

Still looking for another emerald dust somewhere in the open world. gently caress paying 600 crowns for that.

Also no loving quickload. What the hell?

Kinda want to just speed through and not waste time grinding for the chapter three dark equipment set and whatnot if it's not gonna carry over.

I was nervous about this too because I have a brand new i5, an SSD and eight gigs of RAM but I had to replace my graphics card with a 750Ti last year so I didn't upgrade it. I'll be able to get to it after work but I am hoping for 1080p + medium settings + 40 fps.

When did you buy your GPU? Nvidia's guide mentioned that pre-Maxwell GPUs take like 4x more performance hit from Hairworks than Maxwell.

As far as I know, you have to buy it from bram, the guy with the bowl cut you save from the griffin. He's in white orchid near the sign post. I haven't bought it though, the whole set is level 4 gear and costs about 650 orens.
