Question for the pc players patch 1.4.2

Gameplay
#1

Now that the newest patch is almost a week old for you guys how is the performance of the game?
I am asking couse i am on Xbox and still on version 1.3 with NO random encounters and with the ever more increasing stuttering of the game.

Do you guys have the ripostes fixed?
The stutter is gone?
Random encounters are back?
NO major Quest bugs?
And ofcourse do you still suffer from game crashes?
Please respond couse i would love to know.
Not Just for me but for the whole of console players PS and Xbox

Well, I continued on from a 1.3.4 save, so all of my experience is mid-game, but:

  • Ripostes still don’t work that I’ve noticed. But then, I didn’t go over and try to learn masterstrikes since the update.
  • Stutter hasn’t happened to me yet…it seems to have been a bigger problem for console than PC.
  • Random encounters have been working for me, but their frequency is much lower since 1.3 dropped. I get attacked and ambushed most often, but occasionally I’ve had a poacher or a thief in town. Once things stabilize, I plan to install mods that increase their frequency and variety again.
  • No major quest bugs mid-game. One of the big complaints, the horse race, was fixed and worked perfectly for me.

Beyond your specific questions, the overall performance of the game has improved for me. The input response is snappier, the camera movement doesn’t lag, the sleep/wait clock processes faster, framerate is more stable in all areas. It just feels more polished across the board.

1.41 stopped the stuttering and the halberds
CTD’s I had were mod and hardware related(PSU)
some mods got updated and others fixed using the mod format
PSU replaced.
I still have low frame rate, have noticed tho at real low rate not as jerky, but 1.42 worked without a flaw after this.

I am running 1.4.2 on a fresh install, and started completely over in order to avoid bugs with old saves. The only mod I have is the save mod, which I would love to get rid of, but will keep until I know I can play though without major quest bugs.

I have no stuttering during regular quests, and the halberds are gone.

However, I did just do the whole battle in Prybislavits, and it played like crap through the whole thing. It lagged, stuttered, and froze several times. I have done that quest many times. I have never had it play bad like it did today. I removed my mod and replayed it to see, same thing.

Several quests are still bugged, or have issues. For many people “The Sport of Kings” is still bugged. You cannot turn it in if you take the horse back to Zora, it will CTD. I had to ride the horse back out, away from Neuhof, way away, to get it to where I could turn it in. Also, the quest “Clothes Make the Man” will not trigger, no matter what i do. I cannot talk to Capon at all anymore, and he has been in his underwear since the bath house. without that quest triggering, you also never get the “Robber Baron” quest. The majority of people seem to be having this same issue.

Many many people are also having issues with Merhojed villagers being bugged after you cure them. I am about to try that for myself since 1.4.2, so will update when I know. There are also many reports of the Epilogue being bugged. That I also have to wait to see.

While 1.4.2 is the most stable the game has been since launch. There are still issues that need to be addressed.

EDIT: “Clothes make the Man” finally triggered after I got to the main quest “All That Glitters”. I know it use to trigger much earlier, because I use to talk to Radzig about Wolflin when he was at the camp near Merhojed. I would always do the “Robber Baron” quest before even going to investigate Prybislavits.

The game runs great! I’m finally recommending the game to friends now. The only mod I use is “More Random events”. That’s still not fixed in vanilla. Although WH says it is. I believe they just incredibly decreased the amount it happens. Which you could play 30 hours on PC vanilla and maybe get 1 if your lucky. I’d say that mod makes the game SO much more fun! Perhaps a little too frequent…slightly…but hey, it’s war torn so why shouldn’t it be a little more common than not?

Runs great IMO on PC.

Thanks guys for the feedback you have NO idea how much reassurance this gives. Not Just to me but to other players for consoles and ofcourse the devs as well for they Will most likely to be happy with how this patch is being recieved
