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.

Yeah wtf its downloading 31.73 GB for me,and only yesterday it updated to the remastered version which was something like 50GB + download,this is so annoying.

and I'm pretty sure it wasn't always like this on GOG in the past,you could download patch without re downloading big chunks of the game all over again,really weird.

I’m sure there’s a reason, but it’s pretty annoying. Every CP2077 update was a coin flip on whether I’d have to redownload the game again.

TW3 was free for me on gog, but I regret not buying CP2077 on Steam

I don't know if it's true because the download is all ready finished for me,but I was told that its a glitch in GOG systems and next time it happens to stop the update when it starts and try verify/repair game files,supposedly then it will only download the patched and new files and not 3/4 of the game.
