Hello!

Recently I came back to playing The Witcher 3 in GOTY edition this time, and to my surprise the game felt choppy and I could see and feel some kind of microstuttering during movement. I never had problems with performance in this game, I have a powerful rig with smooth 60 FPS in 1440p with almost maxed out settings.

After a while I noticed that the GOG overlay was the cause. After disabling it, the microstutter was gone and Witcher 3 again was running smooth as butter.

I tried some tips I found online for other stutter problems with Witcher 3, nothing helped however, as long as the overlay was enabled, the stutter was there.

Any way to fix that? I'd like to use the overlay but I can't cuz of this.

the most recent gog update caused this and many people have experienced the stutter- they are aware of it and are working on a solution. i think it had something to do with syncing cloud saves too, so just keep them disabled for now

Thank you very much for the overlay hint. I disabled it and can now play the game at 1440p and max details without micro stuttering. I wonder why this long known bug hasn't been solved yet.

By the way: Cloud saves are disabled here from the beginning.

I just started playing the GOG version inside Galaxy at 1440p on a GSYNC 144Hz display with maxed everything on a 1080 Ti SC and was getting mad stuttering when turning the camera (everything else was fine)... turned off the overlay and it's smooth again... considering GOG and CDPR go hand in hand, I'm pretty shocked I have to disable a Galaxy feature for one of their first party games to get it to work properly

If I play the game through Steam (as in downloaded directly through Steam) I have no issues with the Steam overlay nor through Big Pic through the Steam Link, etc.

They don't go "hand in hand" in the sense that you are implying. GOG and CDPR are sister companies in name only... on paper. They have no working relationship and are completely separate companies with completely separate workforces.

You said they are sister companies... and sisters in the real world hold hands all the time... sisters hand in hand, get it yet? Are you the guy people are petitioning to ban?

Let me get this straight: the fact that (some) sisters in the real world may hold hands has a bearing on you being shocked at having to disable a Galaxy feature? That's weird. REALLY weird.

Are you the guy people are petitioning to ban?
"People" are not. Just some stalker new to the forums who has shit for brains, that's all.

Yes he is the one. Take a look at the thread and you will understand why.
