CD Projekt Red recently released its much awaited PS4 Pro update through the patch 1.50. This was to help run improve many aspects of the PS4 Pro version such as improved resolution and but the new patch also started causing the game to crash often. While there was initially some miscommunication as players interpreted that the studio wasn’t going to address the issue, it has now been confirmed that the studio will try to fix the issue as soon as they can.

Speaking to Eurogamer through an email, the developer stated, “We are aware of the issues some users have been experiencing following the PS4 Pro Patch and we are looking into addressing those as soon as possible.”

Given how beloved of a studio CD Projekt Red has become among fans of the Witcher series, this is one situation where players would patiently wait until the latest patch is released. Hopefully, owners of the PS4 Pro will soon be able to continue playing through the epic adventure of Geralt of Rivia at glorious 4K resolution.

A lot of new technologies were showcased at this year’s GDC. From ray tracing tech to new APIs, the event was the best in years. But if I have to point out one game developer who are pushing video game graphics to an all together different level, then it has to be CDProjekt. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt looks absolutely phenomenal and it wouldn’t have been possible without Umbra 3, a software that specializes in providing occlusion culling solutions to video game developers.

During GDC, Przemyslaw Czatrowski, Engine Programmer at CD Projekt RED and Jasin Bushnaief, Lead Programmer at Umbra Software gave almost an hour long presentation about Umbra 3. You can check out the entire presentation here or see a small snippet above.The video shows how CDProjekt have integrated Umbra 3 into their game engine, RedEngine 3, which has resulted into reduced memory usage and query times.
