In december 2017 the Xbox One X update for The Witcher 3 was released and everything was fine. It was a great update which improved the visuals and the performance a lot.
On March 26th that changed with another update, some call it the "ghost patch" because nobody seems to know what it was and where it came from.
According to a moderator in the official Witcher forums the update could have been a "goof" or "marketplace error".
Let's start with the most annoying glitch that the mysterious update introduced:
Lighting / Shadows are glitched, depending on the time of day. All areas of the game can be affected, the glitch mostly occurs indoors. Houses, caves, tunnels, huts…
Also new: a NPC glitch that prevents the game from loading the NPCs correctly.
There are other new bugs and there's still no official word if the game will be fixed or not. The captures in this thread are my own, more info and screenshots can be found here.
CD Projekt Red is asking to report any glitches using the report form. Xbox players should include the manufacturing date, the manufacturing ID and the model number of the console. This info can be found on the back of the console. If possible, include screenshots or video captures.

I really hope they're going to fix the game because I'm stuck with a broken digital game and there's no way to download an older version.
