The Witcher 3 Patch 1.08 Includes A Potion To Fix Your Naked Geralt ‘Problems’
CD Projekt Red is getting to roll out yet another patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. While this one isn’t quite as substantial as update 1.07, there are still a number of fixes and the foundation for the upcoming New Game Plus feature.
A number of players reported that after installing 1.07, they were left with a naked Geralt. This was due to changes in item levels that prevented players from equipping gear they were once able.
With version 1.08 comes the Wolven Hour potion. This will revert item levels for one hour, giving players time to either reach the new threshold or find temporary gear. After an hour, gear stats will revert and you’ll be in the buff again (assuming you didn’t accomplish what you needed).
The patch also fixes problems with disappearing items from the stash, removes the loot prompt from empty containers, and keeps decapitated heads from disappearing. There are also a number of quest fixes.
For the full patch notes, you can visit the CD Projekt forums. No specific release window has been revealed, but CD Projket Red’s Marcin Momot suggests it will arrive soon.
