The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered, a recent update to the popular action role-playing game, has run into several graphical problems on computers using AMD Radeon graphics cards, according to various user reports. While the game seems to work without major issues on systems with Nvidia graphics cards, AMD users are encountering a range of visual glitches and bugs. Common problems include missing trees in the environment and black artifacts appearing on the screen throughout the game. One post on the Radeon subreddit described the trees in the area known as White Orchard as looking as if they were processed with a negative filter, which inverts colors. A video posted on Twitter by user NikTek showed similar graphical issues in the city of Novigrad, where the water in the river flickered like a strobe light when approached.
CD Projekt Red, the game's developer, has acknowledged these problems and advised players to ensure their graphics drivers are updated to a supported version. However, the latest supported Radeon driver, Adrenalin 26.9.2, has not yet been released. The most recent version, Adrenalin 26.8.1, was made available on August 20. As a result, AMD users are being told to wait for the new driver before attempting to play the remastered version of the game.
The reason behind the compatibility issues is still unclear, though it may be related to delays in the release of the Radeon driver. Both AMD and CD Projekt Red have been contacted for comment, and further updates on the situation are expected.
Despite the technical problems on AMD hardware, the remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt includes gameplay and graphics improvements that bring the game up to current standards. The update is available for free on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
