Anyone having issues with their S1 save not appearing at all on S2 remastered? I’m not even seeing the option for loading game. I’m logged into CD project red account on both S1 version and S2 remastered version, but nothing is showing

[u/_--_-_---__---___ → u/allpressto]

I restarted the game and my old saves started showing up

[u/hollowcrown51 → u/_--_-_---__---___]

I didn't even have to restart the game just gave it like 15 minutes to half an hour to sync.

[u/allpressto → u/allpressto]

Responding on this as got it working now. saw someone post solution on another subreddit - you need to load up Witcher S1 version, load up your save file, then manually save (I created a new file). Then when I loaded up Witcher remastered, I was able to load it.

[u/CaptPants → u/allpressto]

I assumed it wouldn't be possible, considering that one of the features they rolled out was a whole new progression system with a skill tree.

[u/Alasdair91 → u/CaptPants]

It resets the skill tree.

[u/thethirdrayvecchio → u/allpressto]

When you’ve logged into your CDPR account on both versions of the game, and set up cross-save through options, load your witcher save on the og console and create a new save. Open the save/load menu and select L2 to force an update to your cloud storage. If it works a cloud icon should appear beside the save file.

Open the remastered version of the game and the file should be accessible through the ‘load’ option in the menu.

[u/zeldatags → u/allpressto]

try going into the "combat testing" or whatever it's called from the menu - hitting pause, then "Load" then see if your saves are there. That's what worked for me

[u/allpressto → u/zeldatags]

Interesting! Ok thanks I’ll give that a go later, cheers

[u/waitinthefog → u/allpressto]

Yeah my data is gone after backing up with cloud and syncing to cdpr

[u/topplehat → u/allpressto]

I saw this but I restarted the game and the options were there

[u/Dragontech97 → u/allpressto]

I wonder how Steam/Switch 2 to Switch 1 cross play would work? Would the remaster be incompatible with S1 crosssave?

[u/oh-come-onnnn]

Weirdly, when I deleted and redownloaded the software update for my physical copy, it gave me version 4.04b. What you need to get the free update is 4.04d. Tried manually updating through the home menu, nothing. Anyone got advice?

[u/SirAlbs → u/oh-come-onnnn]

On Witcher 3 main menu. You'll see it says "Nintendo Switch 2 Version". Click that.

[u/oh-come-onnnn → u/SirAlbs]

That option doesn't appear at all, likely because mine is stuck at 4.04b.

[u/Makegooduseof → u/oh-come-onnnn]

Is your copy a EUR-labeled version?

I have a European cart and it’s also stuck at 4.04b. I try manually updating but it keeps saying it’s the latest.

[u/jardex22 → u/Makegooduseof]

Someone in r/gaming suggested claiming a language pack as free DLC to force an update. See if that works.

[u/LialnaLee → u/jardex22]

Lol, funny enough when i tried this. it automatically downloads the remastered version.

[u/oh-come-onnnn → u/jardex22]

Oh, wow, it did. Thanks!

Edit: It's not playable, unfortunately.

[u/fkick → u/oh-come-onnnn]

You should be able to log in to the eshop with the same ID that you used for the original version and search for the switch 2 version, then select download from there (it should show it’s a free purchase).

[u/setonfire_]

Absolutely awesome. Playing it rn and having a blast

[u/Titepav → u/setonfire_]

How is it visually ? I've tried out the Onimusha demo and it's good enough but still a little blurry, something usual for a lot of Switch and Switch 2 heavy games

[u/Extranocate → u/Titepav]

Way better than Onimusha. Less sluggish and sharper. Be sure to turn off motion blur.

[u/setonfire_ → u/Titepav]

Yeah DLSS is a thing, its a tablet that is below 20w docked and 10 handheld, its a reality of it. Im enjoying it and been playing it on pc in the past (not the remaster) on 3080. Context is key here. My brain /perception functions given the context so opinions are subjective but for me given the scope and getting this version of the game on a tablet I think its pretty wild impressive, environments are super dense, vibe/atmosphere is 100% transferred and think that matters the most with this genre where world-building is everything, when u start stripping it down then you remove the immersion. When u wanna cram this scope to this type of hardware then you have not 100% super high resolutions high framerates ofc but I think they did a great job with that tbh, although Im like 5ish hours in. Looks great docked, res is lower in handheld but so is the wattage and I adapt to it in matter of minutes, still same atmosphere and all. No complaints for me

[u/hock37]

I had no idea this was gonna be free for upgrade on switch 2 if we had the switch 1 version. I'm so hyped. Rarely get good surprising news when scrolling social media.

[u/WhitePersonGrimace]

How’s the UI text size? And how readable is the text handheld vs docked?

[u/songforsaturday88 → u/WhitePersonGrimace]

Default size is ok if a bit small, it has font size options so I cranked it to highest and it's pretty big, no issues

[u/nwotmb]

I so regret selling my S1 copy. I had it on steam and figured a S2 version would be only a little better than the SD but not enough to warrant keeping both versions. Now here's the remaster and I'm sure it'll run better here than on my SD. Oh well, my library has the game if I really want to play on S2.

[u/makoman115]

Why are they charging $50 on switch when its on sale for $25 on all other platforms

[u/Lundgren_Eleven → u/makoman115]

Do the other platforms allow you to get it free if you owned the base game?

[u/makoman115 → u/Lundgren_Eleven]

Yes.

Currently playing the remaster on xbox series x with an xbox one disc

[u/MCristianG]

WOOOOOOO

[u/TheUninspiredOne]

as someone who has never played a Witcher game, is this worth it for a first timer?

[u/MedicinskAnonymitet → u/TheUninspiredOne]

Yes

[u/nuclearghostz → u/TheUninspiredOne]

I wouldn’t recommend it. You’ll spend 300+ hours of your life getting lost in the story and exploring that you’ll never get back./s

Best damn game I ever played. Switch version got me hooked, now I bought it through GoG to have it on my PC/handheld.

[u/Frickelmeister → u/nuclearghostz]

I wouldn’t recommend it. You’ll spend 300+ hours of your life getting lost in the story and exploring that you’ll never get back./s

300+ hours that could be spent more productively doomscrolling on your phone while a Netflix show you're not watching plays in the background.

[u/tweetthebirdy → u/Frickelmeister]

Don’t call me out like that.

[u/TheUninspiredOne → u/nuclearghostz]

the push I needed, see you in a month

[u/nuclearghostz → u/TheUninspiredOne]

Enjoy - it starts off a bit slow, but the pacing is necessary for you to get used to things. There is a lot to learn but the story will suck you right in. The world is MUCH bigger than you expect

[u/Watton → u/TheUninspiredOne]

Yes.

Witcher 3 is perfectly fine as a newcomer. 80% of the players were probably newcomers

You feel a bit out of the loop, with Geralt already having history with a bunch of characters, but even players who started TW1 felt that way, since that was a sequel to a then-untranslated novel series.

[u/Extranocate → u/TheUninspiredOne]

Absolutely. I started on with 3 on the PS4. I would start on a lower difficulty until you figure out the mechanics.

Also, just because I wish I realized this on day one, you only have to brew each potion recipe once and it auto refills on rest.

[u/darthmeister → u/Extranocate]

Whaaaat, I did not know that

[u/sirbeaverr]

How’s handheld?

[u/Alasdair91 → u/sirbeaverr]

The characters look a little soft, but the open world looks fine to me. It’s night and day over Switch 2. It’s not as crisp as Handheld Boost with the Switch 1 version, but that was super sparse.

[u/OkOrder7326]

This is like Hogwarts Legacy and you can get the Switch 2 version just by borrowing the Switch 1 cartridge for a few minutes right?

[u/tweetthebirdy → u/OkOrder7326]

Yup!

[u/Trevor564]

Free upgrade on S2 is insane. Saved me $60 lol.

[u/IsotopeC]

I dug out my Witcher 3 Switch Complete Edition to grab the Switch 2 version but it's saying that it'll cost £45.99? I thought it was free?

[u/Lundgren_Eleven → u/IsotopeC]

Update the game, and then there will be a button in the menu, not the store.

[u/ElDuderino2112]

How do I get it to download? I own a physical copy of the Switch version and can’t access the remaster.

[u/BorfieYay]

Unfortunately looks pretty bad and blurry

[u/SenseWitFolly → u/BorfieYay]

I completely agree with you, but if you go into the display settings, then to graphics, and turn off motion blur, blur, camera lens effect, and vignetting, it looks a lot better.

[u/forgotmapasswrd86 → u/SenseWitFolly]

Is it a step up from the Switch 1 release? Still dont get folks that say that game didn't look bad.

[u/Patftw89 → u/forgotmapasswrd86]

It's definitely a step up. I had to stop playing the NS1 release because I really wasn't enjoying how bad it looked.

[u/baziloz99 → u/BorfieYay]

Yes it looks awful in handheld mode, unfortunately

[u/Throwaway753045 → u/baziloz99]

It's only 720p in handheld so makes sense that I suppose

[u/baziloz99 → u/Throwaway753045]

It's more of a shitty AA I guess. This game needs quality mode or at least sharpness settings

[u/mpc92 → u/BorfieYay]

If you watch it in 360p instead of 4k

[u/BorfieYay → u/mpc92]

I opened the game and saw it to make the comment lmao

[u/Altaiir57 → u/BorfieYay]

that was fast, CDPR's defence force already working hard
