Witcher 3 Remastered hotfix tackles blocked saves on PC
Hotfix 5.00c addresses a Documents-path save/load bug and restores Classic 1.32 launching on PC.
By ShowVision ·
The Witcher 3 Remastered's PC hotfix takes aim at an unusually unheroic enemy: your Documents folder. Version 5.00c, released on October 1, fixes a save/load failure triggered by special characters in that folder's path. [S1]
It also restores launching the Classic 1.32 version and rolls back a HairWorks change that caused performance and visual problems for some players. [S1]
The download covers Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Battle.net and Xbox Play Anywhere on PC. GameWatcher lists 5.00c and the same day's 5.00b as separate updates, so check the version number when reading patch notes. [S1][S2]
Remastered itself arrived on September 29 as a free upgrade for existing owners, including Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. [S2][S3]
