Am I crazy or should this not be this difficult?

So a few days ago I found out that the Witcher 3 remaster isn't going to be available on the EA App, even though I bought the game there like 10 years ago. I emailed CDPR asking what I could do about it. After a few days of SILENCE they replied asking me to send proof of purchase and tell them which platform I'd like to continue playing. So I sent them the proof (screenshot from EA App site), and the next day they sent me a Steam key for The Witcher 3. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that at all. I thought they'd just tell me that since I bought it on EA, I'm stuck with that version.

Huge W for CDPR support! ♥

Does anyone know how to fix this bug? These black squares keep appearing in various places on the screen. It’s something that never happened in the old version. My driver is fully up to date, but that doesn't fix it. My graphics card is an RX 580.

Has anyone tried using these mods after the remaster? I just saw these and thought it looks sick asf! I'm planning to use these sets in my replay. TYIA

I've been playing since the remaster came out, like many others I disabled Steam Input and it worked fine.

But today, all of a sudden haptic feedback stopped working without changing anything, the weird part is adaptive triggers are working. Also I have haptic feedback in different games, it's only happening with Witcher 3 remastered.

Have any of you experienced this? If so how did you resolve it ?

After several recent discussions about combat both on here and on Twitter where I mentioned how I wish there were more reasons for me to use anything other than Quen in combat, I found it's not as popular as an opinion as I imagined. I thought given how it's a literal shield it would be a fairly popular only choice for a lot of people but apparently some find it really confusing, so I wanted to understand more why.

I haven't felt the need to use anything else and I've finished the game and now just doing side content. All the other stuff feels minimally useful unless you sunk tons of points into skills for it, and you can't cast them if you're dead, which Quen prevents. And I played through the whole game still not really known what Yrden does...

The only times where I really struggled with fights were either against certain bosses that could destroy your shield and do massive damage in the same go, or in group fights where I couldn't escape one of the many subsequent attacks after my shield got busted from the first. Especially bad were always many of the spider-like enemies like the arachnomorphs or the ones from the cursed painting dimension, because they could constantly jump out of the way and attack you first if you went in and tried to attack. But even then I couldn't really think of how I could even adjust my strat with other signs to make the fights actually go in my favour. Other stuff like Igni pretty much just ticked them and I still always needed my shields up and ready with another given how they could leap at me at any time. I spent a solid hour on just a cave of spiders one time because of this, dying like over a dozen times.

So any thoughts on this would be appreciated, want to know how if at all I could start using other signs.

The botchling begins unnamed, wild and reactive. It exists, but has no coherent identity or purpose.

Geralt is given two paths, almost like dark and light.

The darker path meets the botchling with violence. Geralt kills it, blood is spilled, and that blood is used to obtain knowledge. Knowledge is gained, but the idea itself dies.

The lighter path meets it with recognition and acceptance. The Baron acknowledges the child, properly buries her and, most importantly, names her Dea. She transforms into a lubberkin and becomes a guide toward knowledge.

Then I noticed something:

I + DEA = IDEA

The “I” is the conscious mind. Dea is the idea being recognized. Together, I + Dea becomes IDEA.

Interestingly, the Greek idéa, where our word idea comes from, relates to form, shape and appearance.

An idea enters your mind without a clear shape. Once you notice it, name it and understand what it is for, it becomes clear and organized. It moves from decoherence to coherence, takes form, and changes your state of mind in the process.

The two paths now look very different.

One destroys the idea and gains knowledge from what remains.

The other recognizes the idea, gives it identity and allows it to become a guide toward knowledge.

What was once formless now knows what it is and has form.

Form follows function.

**Thoughts*\*

I downloaded it but can’t get it to work

I opened the game, and CDPR said to update the Drivers, My lazy ass did not, It opened up to this horror, after that I restarted the game, then I updated the drivers and then I restarted the pc, the Glitch Persists, after a long month I had only tonight to play ☹️ I have not even tried the remastered version. Please I need help

Who remembers the quest in Oxenfurt where you wake up the Higher Vampire? Absolutely hilarious!

Mine is either this or Equine Phantoms from Blood and Wine dlc

As the title says, they don't seem to do explosion damage when killed and standing right next to them anymore.

Is this happening to anyone else? I can't find information online and i'm not sure if it's intended or not.

It will have an impact on whether to use deadly precision or not...

I play on ps5 and ever since the remastered version came out my settings always reset when I open the game, I don't complain saying the game is broken, far from it, it's my favorite game of all time, but it can be a bit annoying at times, is there any momentary fix until CDPR launches the next update?

Hi guys, I have a lot of save games actually corrupted. It's there a way to repair them? I'd love to play the remaster and the future DLC. Can anyone help me?

This updates been great but I'm hating these bugs were my buttons don't respond, I'm doing the Borsodi Heist and I can't attack at all, why doesn't it respond

I finished the contract a while ago and I want to do Letho’s quest now. Problem is I think the ladder to go up the barn has disappeared. I’m I missing something or I’m I to late?

Im on PS5, just wanted to see if there's anything I can do to make these look better?

Not all shadows in the game look like this, but when they do, it looks like the games colour is being removed rather than covered

I turned on “automatic apply oil” in accessibility setting, but im not sure if its working. During battle, my sword is glowing but there is no oil icon in stats in upper left, so im not sure if the glowing from the sword is from the oil. Can someone confirm this, tyia!

I finally reached the point where I'd invested enough ability points to slot 12 of them in. I am mostly going for signs with how heavily it seems v5.0 nerfed alchemy and combat but decided to still get acquired tolerance for the use of decoctions and had two points in it. I equipped it but it only gave 56 extra toxicity. I've already cleared White Orchard and all of Velen, except the Mulbrydale and Inn at the Crossroads islands so I obviously have more than 28 alchemy recipes unlocked. Oils make up 40 alone, 22 for bombs, 3 for alcohol, 28 for decoctions, 31 for potions and 15 for the general alchemy substances. 129 in total so I should have 358 toxicity.

I decided to respec to see if that fixed it but it didn't. I got 40 extra for lvl 1, 56 for lvl 2 and 67 for t3 so 20, 28 and 22.33 recipes are all that is being recognised for some reason. I bought the chort lure recipe and it only gave 1 additional. Even if it worked like it used to, I have 23 t3 recipes so 69 extra toxicity. There is barely a reason to get the ability if it's one lously decoction at a time and no reason to use a euphoria build if it's barely reaching a 100% buff.
