Same here, not DX11 or 12 works for me. Just chills in Task manager
Apparently there have been issues with the upgrade, sadly this seems to be the theme with CDPR these days considering what state Cyberpunk launched in. All the hype and then a buggy launch. The recommendation is to wait for the incoming patch/es.
I have had zero issues with the new update. It runs like crap when I turn RT on but thats about it. I’m playing with everything on Ultra+ at 1920x1200 with a smooth 60FPS throughout.
I’m also really impressed by how good the game looks and how well it plays on the Series S.
Reinstalling the game helped but it crashed when I was playing around with the RT settings.
It seems there are issues still, especially with ray tracing, but you can always rollback to the older version or not use it.
As soon I got to Velen yesterday I went straight to Novigrad to see if performance holds up and I’m happy to report that it does. I’m still getting a rock solid 60FPS with everything on Ultra+ (RT off). I disabled vsync out of curiosity and without the FPS limit it hovers around 62-70FPS so my PC just barely makes it to keep a smooth 60
I also moved the game over to my NVME drive to get rid of smaller stutters.
Any aspiring modders here? Looking forward to the mods that will come out as a result of the Redkit release.
Free to all who own the game on GOG

Coming on September 29, this is the definitive way to experience Geralt of Rivia’s legendary adventure. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered features an array of improvements, bringing upgrades to visuals, gameplay, and more.
Remastered is a free upgrade for players who own The Witcher 3 on GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and includes both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions. It is also available for pre-purchase on Battle.net and Nintendo Switch 2.
The Witcher 3 is getting a massive overhaul soon. Here’s what you need to know.
Maybe it’s a good enough reason now to revisit and actually play the expansions.
I’ve started a playthrough about 3 or 4 times, but never pushed through…think I’ll give it a proper revisit after the upgrade.
PS. Gameranx is prolly my fav gaming youtube channel, after that its skillup. Mostly honest and unbiased (well, except for Jake and his bromance for anything Hideo Kojima
) news and reviews.
I have complete the opposite opinion of Skillup
If he hates a game chances are very good that I’m gonna love it and vice versa. Rarely he likes a game that I like too. Just my opinion, he just rubs me the wrong way.
/off topic rant over. Sorry. ![]()
I cannot wait to jump back into Witcher later today!
Have the Switch 2 version downloaded and will also update the game on PC and PS5 and make use of cross save feature.
Join Geralt of Rivia on the Path in the newly remastered edition of the genre-defining RPG. With improvements to visuals, gameplay, interface, and much more, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered is the definitive way to experience Geralt’s legendary journey.
