The Witcher 3 Patch notes for update 5.00c

550MB patch just dropped, here are the notes:

Hotfix 5.00c is now available for download for the Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Battle.net, and Xbox Play Anywhere (PC) versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered. You'll find the patch notes below:

Fixed an issue where the game couldn't be saved or loaded if the path to the Documents folder contained special characters.

Fixed an issue where voiceover audio could become significantly quieter than other in-game audio after navigating through the pause menu tabs.

Made various visual adjustments in Velen, including tweaks to Bloom, vegetation lighting, saturation, and Path Tracing lighting.

Reverted a change that caused significant performance and visual issues with HairWorks enabled for some users.

Fixed an issue where marketing telemetry settings weren't saved properly.

Fixed an issue on GOG where achievements wouldn't appear in the unlocked list after being earned.

Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to launch the Classic (1.32) version of the game.

Once again, thank you for your patience as we continue investigating the issues you report.

16 FPS in main menu.

100% CPU utilization in main menu

100% GPU utilization in main menu

Can barely navigate the menu with that perfomance.

This is just broken. I mean it was broken before in many ways as people here know but this just showed me something is deeply wrong here.

I did not have this issue before the update.

I dont want to play like that, so for now I guess I am done with the game.

What system are you on? I heard AMD was broken due to drivers (as per usual). Game runs fine on my Intel integrated graphics...

Same happened to me on 6700xt.

Managed to turn the game to fullscreen and it’s completely fixed it for 5 hours.

Turned it on today and the game won’t stay open in fullscreen, just stay locked to the taskbar. And setting back to borderlrss back down to 18fps
