The Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red has released a statement acknowledging the technical issues being faced by many PC players today following the installation of the game’s long-awaited “next-gen update”.\n<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, users have been taking to social media and to Steam’s review section to make their feelings clear about the game’s performance on their PC setups. Overall, the suggestion is the game is punishing on CPUs – even high-end ones – if you have ray-tracing switched on.\n<\/p>\n

Some users have said they’ve since used Steam’s roll-back functionality to remove the update entirely.\n<\/p>

Digital Foundry gets an early preview of the update – on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/figcaption>

“We are aware of the issues PC players have been reporting since last night’s release of the update,” CD Projekt said in a statement posted to Twitter this afternoon. “We are actively investigating all of the reports and will be providing an update on particular issues as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!”\n<\/p>\n

“While the team is working on fixing the issues PC players have been reporting, please make sure to have the latest Nvidia drivers installed as it may help with some of the problems you’re experiencing,” CD Projekt spokesperson Marcin Momot added<\/a>. “Again, thanks everyone for your patience!”<\/p>\n

Users have branded the update as a “mess” and criticised its optimization, and the game’s Steam page has seen a spike in negative reviews today.\n<\/p>\n

“RTX 3080 here. I went to Novigrad with ray-tracing on I was probably below 30 fps no matter the resolution,” one user said. “It’s unbelievable.”\n<\/p>\n
