We’re thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

This editor is a reworked version of the REDengine 3 editor that we used to create the game — it will allow you to create your own experiences in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by making something completely new or editing existing quests and content.

The editor will be available for free for all owners of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC. We're planning to make it happen in 2024.

We're sure you'd love to know more, but for now we ask for your patience as we'll have more to share next year.

Patch 4.04 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is live and brings various fixes to the game!

Check out what changed in the list below.

• Frames allowed by the "Maximum Frames Per Second" setting will now be counted properly when DLSS Frame Generation is enabled.

Patch 4.03 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now available! This update contains various gameplay and quest fixes.

Below, you'll find a list of the most notable changes.

PC-SPECIFIC

• Fixed an issue with ray-traced vegetation shadows “popping”, depending on Geralt’s proximity and angle.
  
• Fixed an issue where repeatedly disabling and enabling ray-traced reflections and shadows could cause black shadows to appear at the edge of objects.
  
• Addressed the issue where the DirectX 11 version of the game could crash on launch or after loading a save on certain AMD GPUs.
  
• Added support for Intel Xe Super Sampling, an upscaling technology that uses machine learning to improve performance and image quality.
  
• Fixed some lighting issues with Screen Space Reflections when ray-traced global illumination is off.
  
• Performance improvements to ray-traced global illumination and ray-traced reflections.
  
• Fixed an issue where purple splashes could appear on the screen when riding Roach through puddles of water.

VISUAL

• Fixed an issue where a grid of light spots could appear on the ground and walls in certain weather conditions with Ray Tracing enabled.
  
• Spider webs will no longer change color when moving the camera with Ray Tracing enabled.
  
• Fixed an issue where some textures on characters during cutscenes would appear as not fully rendered.
  
• Through Time and Space - Fixed an issue where the mist in the Poisoned Valley was pink instead of white.

QUESTS & GAMEPLAY

• Added the community-made mod Next Gen Script Fixes by Sergeanur.

QUESTS & GAMEPLAY

• In the Eternal Fire's Shadow - The ambient music from the quest will no longer continue playing after completion. For players who have already experienced this issue, it may be necessary to enter the Novigrad or Oxenfurt sewers again to resolve it.
  
• Added an option to auto-apply oils in combat.
  
• With the exception of potions and decoctions, it's now impossible for Geralt to eat or drink underwater. // While the team agreed it might be possible to drink liquids from a corked flask, consuming pints of ale or grilled meats underwater is too much of a stretch.
