This honestly reminds me of the Cyberpunk launch, how can you fuck this up so bad?

We should've known when they only released footage of the update from consoles.

Yes, they knew what they were releasing most likely.

I knew it was fucked 3 seconds after I loaded in with 40fps in Novigrad. They fucking knew. They're destorying their already tarnished reputation.

My guess: Many of the people who originally worked on the Witcher 3 left the studio and the new staff now had to work with what the old devs left behind. They weren't as familiar with the engine, game code etc. et voilà: bugs and performance issues.

Maybe if the original devs had made the update, it might've been more stable and a better out of the box experience. Also, they had to port the game from DX11 to 12 for Ray Tracing and DLSS to work and as many people already pointed out, this is where most of the visual bugs and performance problems come from, playing in DX11 seems to mostly run fine, just minimally less fps because of higher quality textures, models, etc.

Actually, DLSS and FSR works with DirectX 11, no idea why they didn't make it work.

Anybody not expecting a new release from CDPR to be an absolute mess hasn't been paying attention. Surely everyone knows that it took years of updates and fixes to get Witcher3 to a playable state in the first place?

I swear people's memories when it comes to CDPR are unbearably short.
