The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the action RPG video game from developer CD Projekt RED, has got a mammoth new patch 1.05 that will bring many fixes and improvements to the game. The PC version will get the patch as 1.05 and on consoles, it will be known as patch 1.04.
The patch will also bring various stability and performance improvements to the game along with bug and issue fixes.
The patch will not let Geralt talk with the candles near chests. The patch will enable new improvements in GUI and HUD on both PC and consoles. The HUD improvement will help players facing the game's small, hard-to-read text. It will also improve the smoothness of the camera.
Besides, the XP glitch that was noticed last week, which prevented players from earning experience on the quests that were below their character level, has also been fixed.
The developer clarified that the XP glitch "doesn't impact the game balance in any significant way. Also, you will be able to finish the game with your character achieving a level within the threshold we had in mind when we designed the game."
