The Witcher 3 Remastered Receives Patch 5.00c with Classic Version Support and Graphic Updates

Not all players were satisfied with the quality of the updated version.

Soon after the release of the remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, players began complaining about various technical problems. CD Projekt RED reviewed the feedback and started releasing patches.

Hotfix 5.00c for the PC version of the remastered The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was recently released and is now available on Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store, Battle.net, and for Xbox Play Anywhere.

The developers shared that they fixed a bug that prevented players from launching the classic version of the game (1.32, prior to the next-gen update). They also reported that they updated the graphics in Velen and reverted a change that caused significant performance and graphical issues for some players when HairWorks was enabled.

Hotfix 5.00c patch notes:

• Fixed an issue where the game could not be saved or loaded if the path to the Documents folder contained special characters.
• Fixed an issue where voice acting became noticeably quieter than other sounds in the game after switching between menu tabs.
• Made various visual changes in Velen, including adjustments to bloom settings, foliage lighting, saturation, and path-traced lighting.
• Fixed an issue where telemetry settings were saved incorrectly.
• Fixed an issue in the GOG version where earned achievements did not appear in the list.

CD Projekt RED continues to accept player feedback regarding issues in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and reports can be submitted through the technical support portal.
