GUIDE W3R: The Wild Hunt Revisited (Witcher 3)

[DoYouEvenModBro]

Hi Neo. If I wanted to use your latest version of the guide, is the Mod Conflicts section up to date? All I need to worry about in terms of conflicts are the merged scripts and ghost mode?

[DoYouEvenModBro]

Is this guide/forum active or has it been abandoned?

Still planning to update, but haven't been playing Witcher 3 recently, planning to get back to it soon.

Oh ok cool thanks. I was just curious. Right now I'm basically using your 26 November 2016 guide with a few of the mods updated (i.e. compilation instead of blood/weather/splash and HD Reworked newest 4.6 version). 

[Neovalen]

Guide has been updated. :)

Just to inform you, Neovalen, the Nitpicker's Patch has been discovered by some people (including me) to cause a glitch, where loading screens occur during dialogue. However, the Nitpicker's Patch No-Armor-Textures version works perfectly.

I have yet to see this myself, usually that is the result of the "too many texture mods" limit and not attributed to any specific mod. I'll keep an eye out though.

Hey Neo, why did you remove the Increased LOD mod from your guide? I know the mod author updated it. I'm still using the older version from your 26 November 2016 guide.

I experienced this problem so I switched to using the no-armor version as you recommended; unfortunately the problem has persisted. I've done the mod merge as suggested, so I'm not sure that's it. Any other ideas? The loadscreen occurs mostly when I try to skip dialogue, and also sometimes when it becomes my turn to select dialogue.

For what it's worth, dropping that mod altogether seemed to fix that particular issue, but now I'm having another. I can start a new game just fine...but I can't load a saved game. I got through the opening dream sequence, got the Lilac & Gooseberries quest, saved, and quit to desktop. I immediately started the game again and tried to load the game I'd just saved, and I was given a black screen. No loading icon or anything, no sound, nada. Had to alt-tab and close the game that way. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Still trying to get an answer on the LOD Mod removal. Was it bugged? I am not sure why it was removed from your guide.

Doing well, just busy with life and trying to relax the little time I do get to play games.  Gotta say I kind of miss the social aspect of up keeping the guide but damned if it wasn't time consuming. Need to find some people to actually PLAY games with... lol. :)

Honestly, I have the latest version installed (with all of its requirements) but not in a good place to test if it actually made a visual difference or not. :) Feel free to try and let me know if you get around to it before I do.

Stumbled across an issue, As soon as I load a save in novigrad the game instantly crashes.

This might be due to the Novigrad walls add on for HD Reworked Project, try removing it.
