A new, 500mb-ish patch has been released for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, offering some UI tweaks, graphical and performance upgrades, and bug fixes.
A few of the tweaks in here are things that (again) probably should’ve been in the original release, but hey, I’m happy to see them getting added. For instance: the item comparison window should no longer display outside of the actual screen, which is what it tended to do if you were comparing a piece of equipment at the bottom of a shopkeeper’s stock.
More importantly for people with ninja-bastard supercomputers are the performance and graphical enhancements. “Texture rendering quality for high/ultra presets improved”, for instance, and “Further improvements in NVIDIA Hairworks performance.” It’s just not The Witcher without realistically flowing locks, after all.
