Hi guys.
Finally the hype is over and B&W is here.... and it brought some nice friends of its: Bugs!
1) Roach tail is missing....that's truly AWFUL, I can't play the game any longer with this awful thing. If i fast travel to Skellig, the tail is back but as I do return to velen, the tail is gone again. Solutions?
2) I've noticed that the music takes more time to start playing, so it's quite less "reactive" to the player entering areas
3) I was fighting a Griphin and it was flying above my head, when it decided to land on the ground and as it tried, it remained frozen for some seconds in mid-air.....in other words bugged landing animation for griphin i guess
4) after installing latest contents, as i Loaded my game i was at my level but with 2000/2000 exp...as i Killed a nekker i leveled up but I've heard of players getting stuck on that 2000/2000
6) I'll just write what I am experiencing at the moment. I'm still in Velen-Skellige, but I've heard of friends already in Touissant and they're experiencing bugs (when you reach some arena where you start training, and something like Roach getting stuck in weird positon happens); also heard of "visual artifacts" happening here and there in Touissant.

Pls feel free to add any bug\glitch occurring to you in this thread.
And, anyone found a solution for Roach tail?

Here are some of the things I'm experiencing at the moment.

1. None of my Witcher signs are working besides Igni. I even triple checked to see if they're equipped (and they were) but whenever I try to do Axii or Yrden or Aard or Quen nothing happens..
2. I'm also stuck at level 45 with 2000/2000 experience points (even though before the update and DLC install I was almost finished with level 46)..
3. I tried to buy a Potion of Clearance since I thought that might help with resetting my skill points and therefore my level, but then I found that no matter to which herbalist or merchant or armorer I went to they had nothing to sell! I could sell them my items and then those would appear in their inventory, but their own items are nowhere to be found. Now I can't even buy the new Gwent book or any other sort of materials I would want from ANY merchant.
4. Not just Roach's tail is missing, but all of the horses' tails are missing..

I already deleted all of my mods and verified the game files just in case and the problems persist.

Something seems bugged in the Monster Up scaling. After the 1.21 patch and before the B&W the damage taken by monsters was backwards. After the B&W update, with the Monster up scaling on, I'm running into a lot of bandit and monster groups showing 'level 1' and are quite easily eliminated. If I turn off the scaling, their level will display 13-14. I'm currently level 24 so they are still easy to take down. I have not done a clean install to see if that would clear this up.

I am on PS4 and my horse has no tail and the Monster-Level-Scale settings seems to be inverted.
First I was a bit shocked by the increased difficulty of trash-mobs ... and set the game difficulty to some lower value ..
I will wait for a patch before I continue playing, seeing the horse without a tail alone is enough to stop playing.

I have a problem with a certain boss that can't be mentioned witout any Spoilers.....but when I kill the boss, they're dead on the floor but the game does not register the death.
Music still playing, sword in hand......I have done it 5 times already!!! always gets stuck after the sequence

So I am not the only one with the 2000/2000 XP bug. Thought it might have been caused by mods but its still there with all mods disabled.

Also I loaded multiple save files and with all my XP was at the max for that level. The only exception was my earliest save from the beginning where I was level 1 with 767/1000 xp.

I managed to solve the mane\tail missing bug by equipping\unequipping undvik saddle, but seems to work only in Velen. Now I'm in skellige and the mane is totally gone. Yes I also had 2000\2000 exp but i leveled up with 1 nekker then levelling went on as normal....or maybe a bit too fasty? I'm noticing a real easy level up. I'm 33 and just about to finish main game, havent started hos or bew

I have the no mane/tail bug but it only occurs right after a collect the Griffon head in White Orchard. Oddly when I complete that quest I still have the head tied to Roach afterwards (happened in 1.12 as well.

Once in a while the door animations freak out in various buildings like the door at the Nilfgardian outpost. and a white and black full screen distortion that happens randomly in and out of convo/cutscenes and while wandering around.

A CTD at the transistion from White Orchard to Vizima at the end of the cutscene.

Crafting the Viper School weapons seemed to ignore that fact I didnt have all the needed items to make them yet I could.

I keep hearing the quest update notification sounds through out cutscenes seems to occur at POV changes during the opening scenes in Kaer Morhen.

Only other bug this play through is the occasion disapearing Roach that becomes an annoyance on quests like Precious Cargo or whatever it is called where you have to chase down an NPC on horseback.

1. My horse isn't missing its tail ... its missing most of its mane.... when you use the saddle that covers the horses neck and then change the saddle to a normal one theres no hair but on the top of the horse head

2. When Im killing monsters they freeze in mid air .. I have flying legs/arms/heads etc. Roach also get stuck in mid-air, and often puts his head through things

3. I have noticed that Geralt is harder to control, as falling/sliding down mountains when hes nowhere near the edge, he also got stuck running on his knees .. which was really weird

4. also noticed that in movie scenes Geralt can put his hands through stuff .. also the collar of his armour, when he turns his head, his chin go through it

5. been stuck on the 2000/2000 exp aswell, also feels like I don't get exp from anything.. all I get is 2/3/4 exp and sometimes 50 .. where as before I was getting like 100 to 300 each mission

6. Opening the menu takes a while to respond .. have to wait 5+ secs for the map/inventory to show things .. where as before it was instant.

this is definitely putting me of buying the 2 expansion until its fixed ... anybody know when they will fix it ... definitely seems all these problems came with the patch ... they got to know about it by now?

Looks like we be getting a patch "soon." Good news.

Oh that's great news, coming towards the end of the game, and I really want to play the expansions without these annoying bugs lol

1. Roach is missing his tail in Velen, haven't paid attention to his manes.
2. The warble of a smitten knight: Can't practice hitting targets during a horse race.
3. Same quest as 2. During the 5 vs 5 combat (more like 4/5 vs 1) there was always 1 who took longer to turn around and face me than the other ones. Though I was never able to attack him in the back as he turned when I approached him from the back. To me it's more a graphical bug as it doesn't influence gameplay, not even in the quest itself.

Finishing 'The warble of a smitten knight' was the last thing I did yesterday. So I haven't checked to see if I have this bug that's said to be caused by that quest.

Playing NG+ on death march without Galaxy and without mods. After traveling to Toussaint I haven't traveled to the other areas. The above mentioned bugs are all I have noticed.
I updated TW3 to 1.21. Used Galaxy's repair option, all was fine. Than I manually installed BaW. After installing BaW manually I used Galaxy's repair option which downloaded 7 MB.

hello

1. after some dialogues, the decoctions (i'm french so i don't know if it's the good term in english... these potions you take and have a long effect with awesome modifications...) are gone (and they should last 30+ minutes at this time), particulary in the main quests, before boss fights...really annoying.This bug exist since witcher 3 vanilla, and has never been corrected by the way...

2. sometimes, the mouse will be visible after a dialogue, in the game... it's not game breaking, but really annoying (obviously this don't occur when I use a gamepad)

3. some other times, the game react as if a key is always pressed, like space or the left click.... really annoying when for example it's the key for food(playing the game difficult) and it take down your whole stock in a few second... less annoying at high level, sure, but a pain anyway (try to fight with "space" always pressed...)

4. Those monsters who freeze... encountered a few, but fun to see. Not fun to play...


edit: NO WAY to lock on ennemies!not a drama with mouse, but a pain with gamepad (I alternate both with situations... and bugs) :)
