Well there may be still hope for you? "Additional voice-over languages, added as free DLCs in selected regions, will follow later. " (from the patch notes)
Nah, the patch notes confirmed they've also made some performance enhancements. Very exciting patch, and great stuff from Saber.
From the notes (separate from the new graphics settings):
- Added multiple performance optimizations.
- Fixed various visual and functional bugs
Playing it now, absolutely seamless transition from Steam to Switch, although I wished it would have fixed a couple of bugged early game side quests haha
to get patch on for the us main : open up the game once with your eu (I have a total of 5 accounts , my main is from 3ds era and it is US while others include JP, norway, france ...) account , don't even need to enter menu. just quit to main screen and check for update. It starts updating.
There was a video that showed the difference between regular Witcher 3 on switch, and the hacked version modifying various settings, most which I think are now available in this version. The video showed how to change the settings to get the best result. Anyone remember how the settings were set? Or have that video?
That's a relief! Now we have to know how much "later" that is...
I rememn
I mean it's very subjective but for me, AA on and high Sharpening produces the best image. At least in handheld mode

So is it possible to upload your switch save back to PC as well? It seems unclear if it's like Divinity, or if it's something just like Warframe.
That's the point of graphical settings, there's no "best" settings, just the ones you prefer :p
I have a long plane trip in a month. I had no intention of playing this Switch version, much less buying it.
But with Crossplay support with PC - and having ample hard drive space on my Switch - I'm seriously considering purchasing this title digitally.
Amazing.

Big difference. This patch is fucking awesome! I took screenshots, but for some reason it's failing when I try to post them to Facebook.
Could you try posting them to imgur and then link them here ? I am curious to see a proper comparison. I have been waiting to get it but was turned off by the blurry visuals.
Could you post them here once you get it working? Very curious to see.
Cross save stuff sounds amazing. Had I not already played through The Witcher 3, I would totally be in for this. Playing it on my PC, cranked up was great, but having the convenience of playing a game in bed is such a nice benefit.
Take your SD card out, put it in the computer, copy the images to your computer, upload them to Imgur.
I won't have access to my sd card adapter until tonight.
Incredible. I actually have a reason to buy the switch version now... I wasn't keen on replaying the entire game but if I can carry my save... Hmmmmm...
Gonna have to keep an eye out on sales. Knew I should have grabbed this when it was $40 over the holidays ($32 Post-GCU)
Here's the video from a couple months back that show the improved graphics with the settings adjusted similar to what we now have available. People can use this to adjust their own settings.
Looks like getting rid of blur and bloom also helps
Their settings are:
Motion Blur-Off
Blur-Off
Bloom-Off
AA-Off
Sharpening-High

This is great. Does it have sharpening too ? I saw that there is an option to do that as well.
So what is the optimal setting for Switch handheld? Looks like turning off AA is a way less blurry.
Yes (though there might be unexpected complications if it had mods activated).
The high Sharpening creates very thin visible outlines that give the game an almost (even more) stylized look. This kind of makes it feel even more like it's "own" thing compared to the other console versions instead of a straight up technically inferior - but still very impressive - port.
I just ran through Novigrad for testing out different settings and thought that visually, it looked almost like a mix between Witcher 3 and Thronebreaker at times

I have no clue, sorry.
These were just shared by a user from an italian board. They're legit, but I have no idea what settings he used apart from AA
Dang, AA off is the way too go. I'll take jaggies over all that blur.AA on
