I could provide pages upon pages of games horribly broken on PC at launch or long after launch and though I'm sure you're joking, I really wish you guys would just shut the ###### up.

 

To be fair that actually has nothing to do with those of us who play on pc and everything to do with the game devs.

 

It's not like we want low quality bug ridden ports. I'm looking at you Batman: Arkham Knight.

Has anyone heard of a release date for the new patch?

 

The only thing I've heard is they're possibly waiting for console parity which is waiting for certification. And since it's a huge patch it will likely be some time next week. 

 

Despite the fact that on Tuesday I think it was, that they said it would be "soon". I guess they're using blizzards definition for that particular word.

Bolded some of the notes that I like.

 

Also because the patch is coming with localization changes it will be quite large. I've heard anywhere from 1.5 to 2gb in size. Although they did say the localization changes are optional so I'm not sure how that's going to work exactly.

 

And last but not least there is still no ETA although it's likely to be early this next week.

Great game! Finished playing and all the DLCs...waiting for more!

 

did you play on console or pc?    if pc, gog or steam?     i also want to see the play time, since my gog reported time vs ingame reported time vs what i really played (i think)  felt very different.

I played the PC version on GOG. I spent over 200 hours on it getting all the the armor and exploring everything and completing the monster contracts. Next to Skyrim, it is one of the few games where I actually explored every nook and cranny of the map without getting bored!

So. Did you see the difference in the game time reported by gog client and inside the game itself?

Patch is out for consoles apparently. Some are showing downloads in the range from 5.5 to 7.5gb.

 

Still not out for pc.

 

hmm, didn't all earlier patches came at the same time, or earlier on PC.

 

anyway,  i am almost tempted to give it another playthrough after the patch...  but i better wait, i don't want to waste so much time...  well, i do, but it will not be wise at all.

 

i will replay closer to the expansion pack release date....

 

 

 

meanwhile, i am tempted to play witcher 1.... since i never played it, just looked at parts of youtube playthough... trying to get at least the important story cinematic.

is the witcher 1 EE really that bad?    do you think i will enjoy it after witcher 3?

 

 

actually, does not matter, i might give it a go, it is not like i am taking much risk, if i don't like it :laugh:

 

EDIT:  9.99 on GOG???  you kidding me?   it was like 1.99 when witcher 3 came out (or close to it, maybe 2.99)

######ers.

Yeah. Usually they release the patch for pc first. But for some reason this time it was held back for console parity and now they're getting it first..  :wacko:

 

I won't have time to play today (or this weekend even) so it doesn't affect me but they could have released the patch a week and a half ago for pc. That's kind of annoying, though.

It's 2.1GB on GoG.

 

Updating in Galaxy doesn't seem to work right now, it briefly shows a 7.5GB download which fails.

 

why such difference between steam and gog????    seems fishy.

 

downloading gog now.

ok, gog patch asks for 7GB to install.

 

 

guess it is all down to compression they use!

what? gog galaxy showed nothing.   

i got the patches from gog website.  installed.  

go back to the gog website, download links removed.  shows "coming soon" now!

 

if i run witcher 3 it shows, i lost all my user settings, but the version is 1.07

 

 

 

why the hell they removed it? think it is a bad version, or they are just waiting for a set time/date, even though it is clearly ready, and probably have being for a while.

Console players are reporting a lot of issues with the patch. Which is probably why it's been pulled. Go figure.

 

As for the size. It contains a lot of localization changes in sound files.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12

      By Copernic · Posted

      Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components. Optimize Performance – Tune system settings for speed, responsiveness, and gaming. Privacy Enhancements – Control telemetry, data collection, and notifications. Power Management – Configure power plans and advanced energy settings. Windows Update Control – Adjust update behavior for stability and convenience. Theme Customization – Switch between light/dark mode and adjust system colors. Taskbar & Start Menu Tweaks – Modify layout, icons, and behavior. Explorer Customization – Adjust file explorer appearance and functionality. Software Management – Install/remove Windows apps and optional features. External Apps Installation – Deploy essential apps via WinGet integration. Configuration Management – Save, export, and import Winhance settings easily. Automation with WIMUtil – Create custom Windows ISOs with integrated settings. Autounattend.xml Generator – Automate Windows installations with preconfigured options. Driver Integration – Include current system drivers in custom ISOs. Non-Destructive Changes – Reversible settings with clear explanations in the GUI. Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
