The patch is downloading at precisely 100kb/s from Galaxy. I'm guessing they might have limited it or something? Unlike Steam I can still play while waiting for the download though, so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

If you're trying to patch from within Galaxy, go to More -> Backup and Extras -> Patch 1.03. I downloaded the patch that way without any issues. It'll be in your download list at the bottom left, click on the little symbol once it's finished and it should install.

PerilPastry posted:Are any of you guys at or even slightly below the minimum system requirements? How are you doing performance wise? I've been playing on an i5 2500k, GTX 560ti with 8gb ram and i'm pleasantly surprised with how well it runs. I'm running it at 1920x1080 with a mixture of low-medium settings and i usually get about 24-30 fps. I can't say the low framerate is bothering me, in comparison to GTA V which i found unplayable at a similar FPS because it was harder to maneuver at high speeds. I'm sure if i played it on ultra settings for a while then came back to my setup i would think it would look horrible, but the only thing that has stood out as looking like poo poo is the lovely tree textures in the background of cutscenes. When you're actually playing the game you don't notice it.

Manatee Cannon posted:I don't think I've ever ran out of alcohest, even though I meditate to refill constantly. That's comforting. Right now I've been reserving it mostly for potions (Swallow seems to heal way better than food, at least in-combat, which doesn't surprise me). I do love alchemy builds in these games, though.

Probably a stupid question, but I have to ask. In my alchemy tab, I can craft an alcohest. If I make one, it won't refill after meditation will it? i.e. you could just enter a loop of use alcohest -> create alcohest -> use alcohest? I only ask because the items required look more rare than alcohest itself so I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to create one.

It doesn't use an alcohol per depleted thing. It uses one to refill everything.

Manatee Cannon posted:She deals damage. You could just stay behind the golem and hit it from behind forever while it tries to kill her, it seemed like it took more damage from there and when it covers itself it doesn't block its back. I was hoping it would get pissed off enough to try to attack her but it never stopped advancing on Geralt, all it did was stop to block the lightning spam occasionally (I didn't think to run around its back then). I ended up beating it by waiting for it to charge at me, sidestep, and bash it a few times before getting out of the way. It was the same thing with Vesemir during the griffin fight, he'd try to do stuff but the griffin didn't give a poo poo. I may have to fight it again anyway, because the game froze when I went into my inventory after the fight and I called it a session there. Hopefully it autosaved.

Just run to the other end of the arena or something, the golem will totally go for her if she's closer. And she's invincible so you don't have to worry about her dying.

I've gotten used to the movement, but used to and happy with are miles at odds. It'd be nice, but don't get your hopes up. Captain Scandinaiva posted:Have you tried toggling on walking? That's what I do when I have to do some finer moving about. Yeah, it's hope against hope. Otherwise, I'm playing with a controller, so I can just use the analog. It's a bit sensitive so still a chore, but thanks. It isn't make or break. I'm really just voicing disappointment. Already dumped like 20 hours into this thing, and still having fun.

Is there any way to make the "keyboard and mouse detected" go away? I unplugged my controller and it still happens  If I use the LockControlScheme = 2 solution, all the control hints show controller buttons.

As you quest prices at certain merchants will sometimes improve as your reputation improves, but it's all hidden from the player. (I think)

I have to say, this really clicked for me last night. Not that I wasn't loving it anyway, but I just played through the Hunting a Witch questline, which was a really good dungeon crawl with a great companion character, good story beats, interesting battles, a riddle, the lot. Then I came out of the cave in front of my first boat so promptly started sailing around. I looked at my map and saw that if the world is truly open, I'd be able to sail into Novigrad bay without doing those quests in my journal to allow passage across the river. On the the way, I explored shipwrecks, and passed spooky towers, found some smugglers' treasure, killed some drowners. It was night and I soon saw the lights of a big city up ahead. I was pretty awe-struck approaching Novigrad with the big moon behind it. I docked and started exploring the harbour, full of burly half naked sailors and ladies of the night. Man, this is the fantasy city we've always been promised. Elder Scrolls' eight houses and an Inn will never be the same now. So essentially, in a couple of hours play, I got a great linear RPG and one of the most memorable open world experiences I've had. If this holds up, this will really be the best of both worlds.

I really, really hate the movement in this game. It is so drat hard to control. No, Geralt, don't light that candle, please just loot the bag. I understand what they were going for, it's supposed to be weighty and "realistic", but it's not realistic at all. I can turn 180 degrees on point very quickly and I'm not a loving witcher. It speaks volumes about how wonderful everything else is that I am loving the game as much as I am, even though I don't like story driven games anymore and I've never liked open world games, when such a basic aspect of gameplay is completely hosed. A couple of pages ago, someone mentioned that Yrden sucks. The basic form is pretty situational, but it does mean the difference between dodging or not, or being able to counter or not. The Alternate version is super strong, however. It's especially strong against middle speed enemies, like most humans. Just advancing slowly and laying down a new Yrden every few steps is enough to clear out bandit camps, even of very high level bandits, all by itself. It protects you almost completely from arrows (I've seen it fail a few times, but I don't know why), hits anything that gets close quite hard and has a brief stun.

I'm not 100% on how it all works, but I know that in at least one of my quests Forefather's Eve if you do the quest and burn the Pellar's father you get a regional discount for a lot of the stores in Velen.

So I am not entirely certain with how choosing skills works when leveling up. Do you only get the benefit from skills that you choose if they are equipped over on the area where you can chain them with Mutagens? Or is the area over there ONLY for getting mutagen bonuses, and every skill point you spend is always going to apply to your character. I'm thinking the latter must be how it works, because otherwise by the end of the game you are limited to only 12 different skill bonus choices which would be extremely limiting.
