　　Now Playing: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Next Gen Review

　　The developer has since shared an update on what it plans on addressing with future patches and is currently looking into reported issues from players. "Following Patch 4.01, we wanted to take a moment to talk about some of the issues the team is currently working on and to give a better understanding of what’s ahead," CD Projekt Red said in a new forum post. "We are working on patches for the game and investigating all the reports you’re sending our way--please keep them coming!"

　　One glaring issue is bad performance on next-gen consoles following the release of 4.01, with players reporting a noticeable decrease in frame rate while in performance mode, and it's especially noticeable in areas like Novigrad and Beauclair.

　　Alongside some general system issues the developer is looking into, it also explained the Battle Preparations quest that was meant to be fixed with 4.01 still isn't resolved and it's working on a patch, saying, "We are aware that some players who experienced an issue where it could be impossible to interact with Avallac'h before patch 4.01, may now experience an issue where there are no dialogue options that can progress the quest after the fix. We're working on the underlying cause and steps to reproduce it."
