The title is not unplayable on PC, far from it. These minor issues can simply change the experience, but don’t be discouraged by appreciation. It is highly recommended to update your graphics card with the latest drivers to avoid falling into any pitfalls. If you’re still encountering errors, just wait a few days for CD Projekt to fix them.
As a reminder, Witcher 3 Next Gen update is completely free if you already own the game and addons.
