Hi guys!

Not so long ago bought the game Witcher3. I waited until the fix various problems, because today releases a bad - it seems to be the norm of the gaming industry :(
However, apparently the 3 months after the release is still not enough.

In version 1.08.3 I was faced with problem#1 - constant freezes in the game. Symptoms such - every 10 seconds, the game freezes for 5 seconds when i met opponents.
When opponents are not around - freezes occurs approximately every minute.

What tried to do:
1) upgrade to the latest nVidia drivers 355.6
2) Enable \ disable triple buffering, power management mode - prefer maximum performance (tips from the Internet)
3) Any combination of settings in the game video settings

None of it helped.

Then I tried to install version 1.06.
And the miracle - no freezes in the game

That is precisely the problem introduced patch 1.08 or even 1.07 ...

"Well," I thought - "I will play in the 1.06 to solve the problems with freezes." and then came the problem №2 - dlc on site gog and gog galaxy are not suitable for version 1.06.

Guys, if any solutions to the problems 1 and 2?

what you could try (it helped some people with freezes/crashes).
as silly as it sounds:
- get "msi afterburner"
- use it to underclock your GPU/VRAM

second thing worth a try:
- disable VSYNC in the game options
- limit the framerate

the first option helped on one of my machines... the second i didn't try so far.

It seems I have found the cause of the freezes in my case.
Freezes disappear if on my dual-core processor, disable one core for witcher3.exe process.

witcher 1.06 uses 2 cores too, but doesnt have "freezes" problem.
