Here is the list of changes from this patch:

  • Geralt will not longer interact with candles near chests and other interactive elements.

  • Fixed issue where player might have had a progression break after choosing certain dialogue option when talking to Dijkstra in Count Reuven’s Treasure quest
  • The Pyres of Novigrad quest is of course going to be fixed as well as the XP glitch.

My Opinion:

I love how fast we’re getting these patches! I’ve been fortunate enough to have a (relatively) bug-free playthrough so far. But it is good to see certain things get fixed, especially ones that involve Roach. I am also glad to see that Geralt will no longer interact with candles if near chests – that was annoying as hell!

  1. “annoying as Hell!” Haha!
    I’m glad to see that CD Projekt controls their game after his release.

    It’s a good news. Firstly for the text because it is a little bit small.
