Fixing the save corruption more thoroughly and the underlying cause is a good fix at least, general crash fixes and optimizations are also welcome but can also come in via hot-fixes.
Judging by what I have seen of the game there would be a pretty long list for the open world issues alone but the game should be in a fairly playable state albeit with some roughness to it and a bit of jank.
If this continues for 1.2 and on that would be a nice flow of steady fixes over time but there’s also the the planned roadmap and time schedule and if the Next-Gen console update is the finish for major work on the game there might be some choices for what to focus on and what might need to be dropped or given less priority at least.
Developers expected a longer delay and work into almost 2022 which is also fairly clear on how not everything can be as envisioned or planned but a bigger monthly patch cycle can at least resolve a good bit of the issues that exist with game as it turned out due to well…
That:
Mixed with a bit of hindsight and probably should have thought things through a bit more.
(“Wing it.” is probably not the ideal solution to the problem at hand.)
EDIT: It’s kinda weird in fact as the upper management and execs should have been some of the teams doing the Witcher 3 work if not earlier so the challenges and difficulties involved all the problems and tech and other unexpected issues it should have been well known how difficult things can get and handled way better.
A bigger review of the project as well especially if it gets delayed again and again.
Hmm Firefox beta got updated to 86 apparently instead of video AV1’s becoming a picture format and is now supported?
Interesting.
Guessing it might be a bit slow in adaption though but maybe WebP is hindered by other issues as well.
Suppose it’s still going to be a struggle though, think everything is pretty much Chromium and Chromium optimized these days due to Firefox dropping to some really low number and most other browsers that had any competition going are now Chromium based instead.
Interesting to see AV1 support and nice with something over the aging JPG and the size-wise fairly large PNG formats plus HDR as well assuming it sees some better usage and support compared to some other formats.
All of the examples given involve games that use NvAPI for HDR. Prior to one of DOOM Eternal’s patches, it was completely using DXGI for HDR and didn’t behave that way. Now it uses NvAPI and alt-tab in/out messes with the DWM’s HDR settings.
NVIDIA likes to use their own tech I suppose, would assume AMD is similar since many of their collaboration projects end up with FreeSync(2) HDR and I believe both vendors now have Vulkan extensions for managing the window state and the HDR functionality in addition to the DirectX features through NVIDIA API and AMD GPU Open.
Not surprises in other words NVIDIA’s tech articles and documentation would focus on said technology though I am curious as to why it behaves like that since from what I have read full-screen exclusivity should not be needed and the system is capable or should be capable of toggling the Windows OS HDR setting as well without messing up.
Holy ■■■■, getting HDR to work correctly in the medium together with SK flip mode is a chore, I think it’s using NVAPI HDR as I get a black screen when switching but HDR is already enabled in the desktop.
