witch 3its next generation upgrade is fun…when the game works. While there haven’t been any serious issues on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, PC is another story. CD Projekt Red now says a new hotfix released on Monday will help reduce at least some of the problems players have with stuttering and crashing frame rates.
“We have just released a hotfix for witch 3 on PC, this should improve stability and overall performance, and fix GOG & Steam overlays,” studio tweeted this morning. “The game version will not change. Our teams are working to further improve the experience across all platforms.”
When the free 4.0 update is rolling out to witch 3 on December 14, PC players immediately started reporting performance issues. Some people said that hardware that previously ran the game at high settings at 60fps is now having trouble running the game on low settings at 30fps. The new ray tracing is particularly problematic, resulting in dropped frame rates and stuttering even on the new generation of Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics cards.
Players have also reported Steam Deck compatibility issues, and more crashes and crashes on desktop. As a result, some people have been trying to find a way to turn off the update completely and revert to an older version of the game. While ray tracing has also gone bust on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the game is the opposite. running with almost no problems there.
