GUIDE The Return Of The White Wolf (a comprehensive Witcher 3 modding guide)

[rootsrat]

Thanks, doing my best :)

 

As for the mod, there is no need to install it - it will replace your user.settings file with the one you download and you will loose ALL your settings. I actually had this setting modified in the previous version of the guide (and I still have it in my own file), but I forgot to add it in the new version - thanks for reminding me! :)

I wonder if we could do more stuff with the nvidia inspector program. I am no expert on these things though, but it seems like a lot of options there remain untouched?

[rootsrat]

Possibly so. I was thinking of trying out various AA options from the Inpector for example. I just don't have much time to play around with this lately. I'll get to it eventually :)

With Windows10 and DirectX 12 I gained 5-10 fps for free. :-)

 

I believe we have room to tweak the game a little more.

I'm actually in the process of preparing my PC for a fresh install of Win10 (making backups, cleaning the drives, rearranging my storage etc.). The work on the guide will be on hold until I sort everything out, set up the new system, do some testing, reinstall all my software etc... It may be a few weeks, depending on how much free time I get to do all that.

I thought the guide deserves a cool name, so I moved to a new address: Return Of The White Wolf

[tizgrilo]

Is there a changelog for version 1.08.2 of the game? I don't know what actually was changed on both 1.08.1 and 1.08.2

 

GOG, Steam and even CDPR forums don't bring a changelog. 

[rootsrat]

There is one for me in GOG:

 

Patch 1.08.2 (17.08.2015)

• Introduces a retro-active fix to some of the achievements that were amended in the patch 1.08.
• Adds sources for scripts (mod support).

 

1.08.1 was ModKit release patch
