is it realistic to expect a performance (60FPS) mode for the PRO too ? God Damn, I'm pretty sure the good would look even more awesome with HDR in full effect. A performance mode would be a nice excuse to replay the game a 3rd fucking time.

Cool. Hopefully they will unlock the framerate on the pro too! Would love to play it again.

[h=1]The Witcher 3 PS4 update adds HDR support, but visual bugs too[/h]

[h=2]One step forward, two steps back[/h]


The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has finally been updated with HDR color support on PlayStation 4, but players are complaining that the patch that delivered the feature yesterday appears to have also introduced some visual problems for PS4 Pro users playing in 4K.
Yesterday, developer CD Projekt Red issued a patch that updated The Witcher 3 to version 1.60/1.61 on PS4. The patch added HDR support across all PS4 models, a feature that the studio said back in December would “soon be released.” At the time, CD Projekt Red had patched the Xbox One version of the game with HDR support, but only on the Xbox One X; the studio did not add HDR for the Xbox One S until late March.
In addition to HDR support, the v1.60 update on PS4 includes “various performance optimizations; stability improvements; localization bugfixing; minor visual improvements,” according to the patch notes. However, players are reporting that the patch is also causing severe issues with object pop-in and a reduced level of detail in the distance.
“I see trees vanish in front of me,” said a user starting a thread on the CD Projekt Red forums. “Some trees just disappear and some appear out of nowhere!” Multiple videos on YouTube demonstrate the awful pop-in. You can see ground foliage like grass show up only when Geralt gets close — it’s as if the game renders full environmental detail only within a certain radius of him.



In a different area of The Witcher 3, the issue is even worse. Entire trees flicker in and out of view as they sway in the wind; the problem doesn’t seem to be tied so much to how far the objects are from Geralt.

According to the affected players, this wasn’t a problem until the v1.60 patch. They’re also reporting that the update removes supersampling for PS4 Pro owners playing The Witcher 3 on a 1080p TV; now, users must enable supersampling in the PS4’s system settings. The pop-in issue appears to be limited to PlayStation 4 Pro users playing in 4K Mode, as opposed to the high frame rate Performance Mode.
“I haven’t yet experienced any of the graphical errors while in 1080p and the framerate is solid so I’m sticking to this mode until 4k is fixed, as should all 1080p users,” said forum user The_Operator_XIII. The individual later said they had received an email from CD Projekt Red saying that the studio is “aware of this issue” and that “the developer team is working on it.” Another user, MTaranto, said that although the pop-in problem is “less aggressive when in 1080p” the situation is “still worse than the previous patch overall.”
We’ve asked CD Projekt Red for comment on the graphical issues with The Witcher 3 v1.60 on PS4, and we’ll update this article with any information we receive. For more on the game, read our breakdown of what the 4K Mode/Performance Mode toggle brought to the Xbox One X version.

It got worse after some patches post launch. I made videos when I played it but I know the effort is futile in front of you.

Doesn't change the fact that the problems existed when I played the game. I never gave it any score and it was the least of the game's problems anyway :p

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, yours happened to be wrong but that's ok :p

like the horizon thing, I'm expecting this (TW3 LoD) to be fixed in a few days or weeks with a follow up patch. Even then, it seems to only be effecting 1080p/super sampling enabled users.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
