Forums - Gaming Discussion - Digital Foundry Witcher 3 Patch 1.10 Review

Overall, it's a mixed bag. Xbox One takes one step forward, and another step back - with better asset streaming in the city, but a notably worse frame-rate there as well. As for PS4, this is the first patch where the platform is so consistently ahead of Xbox One in performance terms. Previous updates had different scenes favouring one console or the other, but this patch ramps up PS4's delivery across the board; less stuttering while travelling the world, and a smoother return in matching stress-tests.

It's a lead that holds across all scenes on PS4, a version that already benefits from a 1080p resolution, compared to Xbox One's dynamic setup (resolving typically at 900p). Neither platform locks on to 30fps to a tee, but it's fair to say we're bounding ahead of The Witcher 3's shaky launch state. Patch 1.10 gives Sony's console the push in performance fans had waited for, and it's now a far more refined game. For PS4 owners resisting the jump into CD Projekt Red's epic, at least on on technical grounds, this is a moment to reconsider.

Maybe CD Project Red wasn't big enough to deal with three platforms at the same time. It's interesting how they manage to fix the problems in one, but screw up another in the process.

are their bug fixes because a quest is fucked up for me...

Not really, if the patch updates and improves streaming as they say, (less popin) that might be worth the hit to frame rate for a title like this.  So it depends what you put a premium on.  And it could be argued that Xbox owners fucked themselves but honestly I don't think developers really take sides here.



Glad they fixed this.



10 patches later and the game is almost finished. Awesome dev...
I finished it months ago, still had some broken quests left but don't feel like going back.

The performance was pretty bad before, I'm supposed to be inside the inn here. It could take 5 to 10 seconds for all the stuff to stream in. Lots of time wasted waiting for npcs to respond.

I think that was with patch 1.03, fixed now anyway.
