Yeah. The damage should not be based on the monster's HP especially considering that while burning it stops attacking. Against that fiend I was talking about earlier each tick was doing something insane like 2000 damage.

One thing that's a bit weird about the dodge is you don't seem to have iframes but attacks have really strict hitboxes so you can dodge slightly into a bear's shoulder and its swipe will completely miss you, but trying to dodge away from it keeps you inside the hitbox which is larger than the animation.

Also as far as I can tell that skill that makes you not take damage when dodging doesn't work.

it seems like dodge has an iframe or two but rolling doesnt have any in my experience

Anything that is capable of burning is trivialised by Igni if you have high sign intensity (if you have the alt. Igni skill they are even more trivialized).

Yeah. I tried not to abuse it too much. Igni and even Aard really trivialized some fights, even on death march.

Read the bestiary, he's unblockable and too fast for normal dodge to get away from.

I have to remember to do this more often, and not just checking for vulnerabilities.

I'm quite enjoying most of the Witcher contract monsters, they're a decent level of tune at the moment (level 13) where figuring out how to kill them is as much fun, to me, as the fights themselves. Except for the Shrieker outside Crow's Nest, that was kind of a meh fight as long as you remembered to roll, not dodge, out of the way of the swoop.

Yikes! This game don't play with monsters. I took a notice board quest to kill Jenny o Woods and she's level 10! ...I'm level 4. Was I supposed to do a significant amount of side quest leading into getting here or is it meant to be like this so you have reasons to come back later?

So I'm to the quest where I'm looking for this guy named Craven with Yennifer. Every time I get to this scene where they're talking by a tree, it either crashes the game, or cuts to black and I have to force a restart. I've checked my card temps and I'm not overheating or any other hardware issue. On a Nvidia 970, all the current drivers, 1.04 of the game. Any ideas?

Overclocking? The game is rather sensitive about it.

Nope, stock. I've been playing for at least a dozen hours before this and had literally no problems, too. It just started doing this today.

I have a 970 as well and the game is just like that. It'll run without a problem for hours, and then it will suddenly start crashing, particularly at the same spot in a dialogue or something. In my desperation I downgraded to the last non-gameready drivers and it seems I traded a bit of performance for stability.

There's a skill (third in the red defense line) that makes you take up to 100% less damage during a dodge.

How do I roll back drivers? I've never had to do it before.

I was hoping to get emerald dust from the wraiths by the crypt in White Orchard, and it looked like they were just vanishing right before they died. I reloaded a few times, and "killing" the one by the place of power basically entails it vanishing and dropping nothing, every time. Am I doing something wrong?

The crypt door opens up after that and you have to finish fighting it in the crypt

You need to actually go into the settings for the device in Windows (this is for Windows 7, no idea about other OS) so hit Windows Key+Pause/break to open System, hit Device Manager at the top left, open the tree with your display adapter in it, right-click>properties, driver tab at the top and then the third button down should be Rollback Driver.

Honestly though, I've had issues with the game crashing at a very distinct spot each time, like running out of town in Downwarren at a certain time of day will hardlock me. I just save the game before I do that, quit to desktop and restart, and it has never not worked after that.

The :airquote:dirty:airquote: way is to run the installer of the older driver and just go. The other way is to use a driver cleaner (like DDU) and install the older driver fresh.

I tried to do that quest but I couldn't interact with anything. The prompt never appeared. Also have an issue with the weapon smith in Crach's castle where his talk prompt sometimes doesn't show up. :iiam:

Finally crossed the river into Novigrad, and finally noticed pop-up being an issue. Ran so fast into a camp that instead of gradually seeing more soldiers, literally 40 soldiers appeared out of nowhere at once. Also I tried out banging prostitutes, and although i don't get sweet trading cards, I found out it gives you experience points.

So that is the same wraith? He didn't seem to drop anything the first time I killed him in there. Maybe it dropped somewhere weird; I'll try again tomorrow.

Exact same thing for me the first time I saw the Redanian army. Swam out of the river into what looked like an abandoned fortification complete with spikes across the road to stop horses and all of a sudden the place is swarming with the heat.

There were actually 2 exclamation marks in that area. There's one by a cave, which is where I did this quest, and one guy not far away which wouldn't trigger when I talked to him either.

I'm definitely not feeling as enthusiastic playing right now since I could be crippling myself. A lot of my quests are "green" so if I can't get any exp from those I surely won't try to tackle them now. I may try to do some exploring question marks and/or scavenger hunts. So far I'm not sure if the bug affects "red" quests and main quests too.
