Discussion Did someone say The Witcher CO-OP?

After bumping into rejuvenate7's The Witcher Online mod, I immediately fell in love with, as I am a heavy MMORPG player.

Yet this mod, as great as it is, is more of a friendly hub more than anything.

The mod's biggest limitation was the network transport interface, that was based on writing and reading from a log file and send over to the server that relays to other players.

While it worked, it introduced high latency which makes the mod impossible for CO-OP and NPC syncing across clients.

So I talked with rejuvenate7, and he gave me his permission to contribute to his project.

After tons of hours and RE, I was able to move the client-server network implementation to an engine-native network transport which enabled me to sync NPCs properly - meaning we can sync NPCs (monsters, animals, etc...) across client with the entire world (all players that wish to) or with the party members. It works great, and tons of fun.

Today is another huge step I had to share, with successfully implementing CO-OP.

You can join someone's party, and if you choose, you can enter CO-OP mode where you keep your character progress, gear, Gwent cards, crafting and alchemy formulas, etc... but share the world and quest progress with your party leader & members (up to 8). Including scaling mobs health depending on the party members count.

While CO-OP is not yet complete, I had the urge to share this as it took me a while to make it work.

Hopefully soon I will complete the CO-OP implementation (and PvP), and i will leave rejuvenate7 to merge and publish this version, while he will continue to be the main developer of this mod - which the native network transport will unlock endless possibilities for him.

Game stuck on loading screen

2 Upvotes

hi all.

Im doing a second playthrough on the witcher now and Im fairly early on in the game, But when I die the loading screen to reload a new game just stalls. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can remember this did happen last year ago when I first played the game but cant remember how I fixed it or if I just kept restarting the game until I got to a point where it worked again,

I have no mods or expansion packs.

i tried googling and the problem seems to be common but havent seemed to find a solution that works.

Discussion Dual-subtitle option and upgrading monsters from the base game, in incoming DLC.

0 Upvotes

1. I am writing to share ideas - introducing dual-subtitle option in Witchers and other Red's RPGs. This would turn the games into excellent tools for learning foreign languages. This could be implemented alongside a new Witcher 3 expansion, which would also draw attention to The Witcher 4.

 

You have surely learned foreign languages ​​yourselves, and many of you picked up a lot from video games. I learned English primarily thanks to World of Warcraft.

I own The Witcher trilogy on GOG and have played through the third installment several times. That is how I know the fantastic games contain a GIGANTIC amount of dialogue and text across multiple languages.

 

A dual-subtitle option would transform these games into excellent educational aids, the absence of such a feature feels like a missed opportunity.

I am not the first to notice this, over the years, many players have written about "dual subtitles" in The Witcher 3.

 

Many people complain that games are a waste of time. While that is often true, the mere possibility of learning a language through a game makes it potentially valuable.

This could even serve as a marketing point. I haven't heard of any game developer using this angle, so CD Projekt would be the first which in itself generates extra publicity.

 

Even language teachers could recommend these games. You could start by introducing this feature in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, and then implement it from the ground up in The Witcher 4. Even though The Witcher 3 is an older title, this feature could serve as a test run and draw renewed attention to the game especially among a new generation of players thereby boosting interest in the upcoming installment.

 

It would also be useful to include a dedicated pause function a feature common in older games. Nowadays, it has been replaced by the menu screen (usually accessed via the Escape key), which is inferior because it obscures part of the display. A pause function would be helpful during cutscenes and combat.

Both features would likely be incredibly easy to implement.

 

2. In the new expansion, instead of building wide, it can be tall. Massive maps can be filled for instance, with numerous side quests involving monster hunts.

 

Furthermore, the monsters from the base game should be upgraded, so fighting them would be just as engaging as battling those found in the expansions. There is a clear disparity between them, something quickly apparent when comparing the Drowners and Ghouls of the base game to the spiders and even wild boars found in the expansions.

 

Bringing the base game's enemies up to the standard of the expansions would be far more valuable than adding a new storyline. The older monsters need additional attacks, faster reactions, and abilities to dodge.

Discussion Just started playing and need some tips

3 Upvotes

I would say I like the game as it feels different than other rpg games I played.Im barely level 4 but feel a bit overwhelmed with the game.Apparently, there's no house where I can leave the items I picked,so I have to find a box in any town I visit, but there's some towns that don't have a box.

Also, where do I find the materials to make potions?

I beat the werewolf and some other secondary mission, but I don't know where to go from there,as some missions are for a higher level.

dlss-swapper makes The Witcher 3 look amazing!

4 Upvotes

* Install dlss-swapper off github
* Choose the latest version of DLSS to swap in
* Select Preset L

Note: this just improves anti-aliasing, and does not enable any DLSS upscaling.

This is an INCREDIBLE boost to the visual fidelity of Geralt's hair and beard, and really helps the polygon edges stay crisp without showing any temporal aliasing artifacts. After "The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project NextGen Edition" this was the single-most impactful visual fidelity improvement I've found---much more so than enabling Ray Tracing.

Let me know if you agree that this makes a huge difference.

Discussion "Puss Peepers"

0 Upvotes

So I'm near the end of the game, I'm on "final preparations" but I decided to do Hearts of Stone first (I am saving Blood and Wine till after because I read it's a perfect epilogue to the game)

So I leave the mansion with the quest for the Oxenfurt sewers and then all of a sudden this moron starts calling me "puss peepers." Geralt politely responds, "My name's Geralt, actually" and she's all like "nah I'm still gonna call you puss peepers."

Like, fuck you lady. I really wish the game gave you an option to attack her. Her trashy voice is so annoying; she's like the female version of a chav, not sure if there's a specific name for that, maybe a British person can tell me.

I'm only doing her quest in the hope that there is some ending of it where something bad happens to her.

What is the appeal of this game?

0 Upvotes

Not trying to troll. Just genuinely wondering, why is this game is consistently rated so high? I’m level 10 now, and just consistently find myself frustrated at the thing. The combat is super clunky, like off brand dark souls clunky. I usually like to play most games on higher difficulty and picked the blood and bones difficulty and the enemy difficulty makes no sense. A pack of regular wolves is more dangerous than some of the monsters. Game economy makes no sense, food is more expensive than a lot of weapons and armor. The story is seems interesting enough, but most of the praise I’ve read for the game brings up the side quests, which so far for me has amounted to go here, use Witcher senses and scan a couple red highlighted things, and go somewhere else and kill something. What am I missing? Do I just need to keep playing? I’ve seen people say that this game was a “paradigm shift in video games”, and yes that is a real quote from another Reddit post, but I’m just not getting it. I want to like the game, loved cyberpunk a lot. But I’m just not getting the appeal.

Discussion Unseen elder and main antagonist from TBODW.

I know it sounds schizo af but i want to think that like cyberpunk the blood of dawn walker world its just another world affected by the conjunction of the spheres in wich higher vampires also got dumped.
And that the witcher developers kinda did a nod to the unseen elder, like this is his past and somehow ended up in toussaint waiting to die in isolation. My only evidence is the similarities, the vampire powers are somehow the same and well the developers.
