CD Projekt Red has released a new patch for the PlayStation 4 edition of open-world RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The patch, 1.03, is available in Europe and numerous other countries (see below), but has yet to be deployed in North America. It should be available everywhere “ASAP,” CD Projekt Red says in its forums.
The patch makes a number of visual tweaks, including a particularly grisly change that will make blood particles properly appear on water surfaces in the wake of battle.
It also corrects an issue that caused an infinite loading screen and, in response to feedback, enlarges the text for the loot screen.
Patch 1.03 also “improves performance, especially in cutscenes and during gameplay,” which could be a reference to the game’s reported frame rate issues.
The Xbox One version of The Witcher 3 is still awaiting its first patch, but it shouldn’t be much longer. CD Projekt Red community lead Marcin Momot says on Twitter that this patch is currently going through Microsoft’s certification process, which means, barring any problems, it should be released soon.
