A hotfix for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now out on GOG! It primarily addresses the performance issues that appeared after Patch 4.01. The game version won’t change.



Patch 4.01 itself was targeted at improving the overall stability and performance of the game and bringing various fixes. It fixed an issue where the Screen Space Reflections setting wasn't working on PC despite being turned on, added a new performance mode for ray-traced global illumination, which can be toggled by players with compatible hardware, as well as fixed some of the quests’ issues and brought some changes to gameplay mechanics.

Now, with the recent hotfix, the performance issues that appeared after its release should be resolved.

Jump into the Northern Realms and check it out now!

Did you guys fix the My Rewards content to be available in the offline installers, or is it still restricted behind going online with the "optional" client on this "DRM-free" storefront?

Ah, yes, performance issues.

Time to back up the old installers :D

So is it fixed?
Is there a way I could get just the OG Witcher 3 with the UI and quick sign mods?

Honestly I kinda just want the OG and I'll figure out the mods myself.

They won’t "fix" it, as this is no error or oversight.
It is a deliberate move to forcefully increase the usage of their Galaxy malware.

GOG officially stopped caring about DRM-free games distribution in June 2014: GOG Galaxy promises no online activation needed for gaming.

Yes, the original is in the extras.
Btw I wish these old versions were always in a separated entry, so I could decide which one to hide.

I have 382 Gog games and every one runs fine from the game's executable, bypassing Galaxy entirely, just as they always have. I only use Galaxy for downloads and updates because it's much quicker than waiting on the manual files. Galaxy is optional as a convenience.

Only thing GOG has ever mandated for an online connection are server games in which multiplayer will not work without an online connection--for the obvious reasons that require no explanation. (Unless you're clueless and don't understand why multiplayer games require an online server connection!)

There must be 10,000 posts out here explaining the fallacy of your position. Get edumacated...;)

So we will just ignore that DRM-Free multiplayer exists then?
