I don’t wanna fuss because the game was awesome, until the patch, now my game stutters to point of unplayable. Super bummed, they changed lockpicking to feed the masses and now I think it’s worse than before. The swordplay improvements were awesome but now it’s unplayable… I wasted 60 bucks on this game… I know, I know, updates will be coming and perhaps one day me and ole Henry can finish what we started, but I’m on Xbox so I imagine those updates are months away😢
Try starting a new game, playing to the point where you go talk to your father, then quitting and loading your main save again. A friend of mine with the same problem on the Xbox version said this helped for some reason.

I loaded an old save and deleted some saves. That seemed to help with the stuttering. I played a couple hours with minimal stutter yesterday. Today I played for an hour an had some stuttering in and around towns. But in the woods it ran smoothly. Personally I like the lock picking change. It was a nightmare before.
This totally worked… I deleted everything on one playline, played till I talked my pops, then deleted a few saves on my other playline and went back a few hours in saves (which we all know translates to several actual hours) and I’ve had no stuttering at all… Sir Radzig would be proud of you Knight DeWitt:facepunch:t2:

Our updates come out literally like 7-14 business days, usually the week after, pc updates. Microsoft and Sony get them the same time PC does, but we have to wait for Microsoft and Sony to certify them. Also, Xbox seems to run a whole lot smoother then PC so just calm down, fixes are coming

What do you mean Xbox runs smoother than pc ? As in frame rate or what ?
As in, from what I’ve seen mention on the boards vs my experience on Xbox and my buddy’s on PS4, PC seems to have more/more gamebreaking bugs; as opposed to simple bugs that you can deal with like weird looking feet in the inventory menu or the neck/chest beads
You have Long Loading Screens when arriving to Towns after Fast Travel or Random Encounters, Or when you follow people…I do, It feels hella broken, Broken as the “Ten Commandments”
I take it you work for WH? Telling a customer to “just calm down” is kinda belittling, you might as well have said “sweetheart” with it. I am calm, actually very calm for a guy who blew 60 bucks and 30+ hours on a game that wasn’t finished. Btw, the stuttering, yeah it’s still doing it and I can’t play it because it hurts my eyes. I’ll wait for you to update the update till then I can’t endorse your game. Not that I matter anywhere but in my lil circle of friends, but we do spend money on games.
I definitely don’t work for WH lol
I’m just someone who has like 235 hours over two play throughs on it, with some bugs, stuttering included. We just have to wait it out, it sucks but hopefully they’ll be able to use this as a learning opportunity and next project will be smoother. I’m having fun with it

Damn bro, where do you find the time? The game just came out? Two playthrus? Why would you do that to yourself? I’m usually one and done. Skyrim and Fallout I redone but that’s cuz mods rule the planet! Not enough action to do this game twice… Heck I’ve started over 3 times and can’t stand the stuttering… Deleted all saves but 3 and still the Mel Tillis effect… I’ve embarked on ESO and left Skallitz to figure its own stuff out…
You played through the stutter. Wow, you’re a trooper man. I tried and nearly lost my lunch.
In regards to future WH projects, they’re a small indie and need to survive this disastrous launch, which is far from a given.

It’s bad for me in Rattay and a little in Talmberg(but I haven’t been there in a while). I didn’t have stutter that I remember on my first play through and this time I just do what I want, a lot of side quests. Usually I just slow down when I’m moving through and try to spend as little time there as possible. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had bugs…my original reply was just that we on console usually get it a week or so after PC users because WH releases to everyone and MS and Sony have to “certify” the patches, which takes some time.
I’m lucky enough to have beaten it and be on my leisure play through so it’s just whatever to me…just try to hang in there. The game, imo, is a lot of fun and worth it. I like to look at this as a learning opportunity for WH and a way to get more money faster by releasing to everyone, maybe next time they can look into game preview program or something
I like it a lot. I like the world, the dialogue, the realism, the detail in sound and everything. 147 hours before I finish the final quest and I’m up to whatever I said I was at total now. I passed a lot of side quests and a couple bugged out that should be fixed now. So second play I’m just finished/finding stuff I passed and did the Master Huntsman quest to get my own house. I love it and I think it’s a good break from the fantasy games like Skyrim and fallout, and for being half the total cost to make, bugs aside, it looks just as good or even better; even Skyrim and fallout were littered with bugs at release
Also that’s why I get bummed when people have issues and just want to give up, once it’s playabke for those people I know they’ll love it. And if WH can make it through this I know they’ll learn from it and next release will be waaaay smoother
Even real life would stutter with hundreds of halberds all over the place and the longer you play the worse it gets.

That’s what I’ve found to be the case, at least until the last patch, is that the further you progress the story and the more saves you have built up the crazier things get.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, and I’m not giving up on it. Just wish I could play it. I’m taking the, “I got to play a sample” approach and I’ll come back in a month, restart the whole thing.

That’s what I would suggest. Just sandbox it up and maybe mess around with side quests, get used to the mechanics and combat and just do what you can and then when the patch notes and feedback look good take a swing, or shelf it.
