The Dedicated W3EE Mod Team has released a brand new version of The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition. In case you weren’t aware of, W3EE is a complete and comprehensive rework of The Witcher 3, offering a much higher quality experience than the original game ever could.
According to the team, the mod was “designed with realism in mind, but in keeping with the spirit of actually having fun in a game, thus keeping tediousness to a minimum while simultaneously trying to offer enticing and somewhat realistic gameplay to the player.” Among the mechanical and gameplay changes, it also offers a myriad of bug fixes that the vanilla game sorely needed. Moreover, it packs a vast options menu where you can tweak most things.
The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition is a great gameplay mod that will change the way you play the game. As such, we strongly suggest using it for your second playthrough.
Version 4.61 redesigns Toxicity, adds bandages that remove stacks of bleed and adds a new sound effect on being blinded. Moreover, it improves tooltips for potions that increase the stack timer for bleed and poison, and allows Witcher senses to work as a toggle.
This new version of The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition also buffs Full Moon and the stats of swords with the Dark Curse effect. Naturally, it also comes with a number of gameplay fixes.
You can download the latest version of W3EE from here. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
Have fun!

Seeing all these mods make me look forward to modded Cyberpunk 2077.
Play once when it comes out. Wait 2 years and play again with mods. Like two different games. Chances are you will also have a new GPU so you can pump even more out of the game and the mods. That is what I have done with game like Skyrim and fallout 4 and Witcher 3 is on my to do list this summer break. I love it. Amazing 100 hour game? Eff that. Play again it with mods, its even better. Now its 150 more hours.
That’s kind of like how I did Witcher and Skyrim VR. I have a GTX 1080 and I upgraded to a 2080ti and the number of mods I could install increased by an absurd amount…
As for cyberpunk I don’t think I’ll be able to run it at 4k60 on a 2080ti… Sigh lol
yeah. I doubt 2080ti will be enough either. With mods it still gives Witcher 3 a workout.
3080ti will probably be out by then. If you have 1500$ you want to spend again.
I have no issue running Witcher 3 at 4k with tons of visual mods, hairworks, extra grass and my own improved shadow mod which pushes the highest quality shadows out so far you never see a quality transition and it runs around 100 fps. If you’re getting less you could be CPU bound. If it’s not that it could be because of the windows swap file which I have disabled since I have 32 gigs ddr4 quad channel.
Of course none of that will matter for Cyberpunk. It’s going to want a cpu with alot of cores, I have 6 at 4.6ghz but since it’s being designed around the new consoles it’s probably going to run better with as many cores as you can throw at it.
Plus it’s going to need a better GPU if ray tracing is enabled. Without raytracing the 2080ti should be ok. Of course that’s assuming it only uses nVidia’s method of ray tracing and not one of the other more efficient methods.
Time will tell but no matter what it will require I’ll buy it. I just need 4k60 because I play on 65inch LG OLED although I could run it at 3200×1800 and use the scalar chip in the tv to upsample the image. It works so well it’s nearly identical
Other news. ASUS went full Rtard https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/895404aa0d94e62ff91d04ff0096f7da94ae84d94b1b8da55a6cf6c16f21d5e9.jpg
ASUS Matrix 3899 Australian, Matrix RTX 2080 Ti, Yeah, LMAO !
asus always been like that nothing new ?
Nothing new bro, that’s Asus for you. They act as if they provide “something special” over anyone else. Even their Base version of their cards are way more expensive than anyone else. I know of Asus all too well…
I am thinking about buying the cheapest 5700 xt there is ( used if have to) and throw a 970 cooler on it. I have no ide how but life will find a way.
Off topic much?
Oh sorry my lord that i not spoken with in the actual topic.
Very opinionated article claiming this mod offers a better experience than the vanilla game ever could. I disagree strongly and respect the work of CDPR a lot more than a group of modders.
Bro… do you even mod.
Bro… do you even CDPR?
Do you go around suking their coKe?
This mod fixes the idiotic itemization in the vanilla game, for that alone it’s worth it.
But you should know that if you had tried it.
You use the term “idiotic” as if it’s fact when the reality is that it’s your opinion. My opinion is the opposite.
So you don’t mind bad design, that’s ok, but don’t blame others for trying to fix the base game.
Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by DSOGaming.
lol. The vanilla work of CDPR is atrocious in-terms of balancing. The itemization and level zoning of areas is so horrendous I honestly have no idea what you are saying. You remember the moment you got the LEGENDARY sword that was just a myth from that Viking king dude? And it turned out to be utter garbage?
Yea… .No. You can respect the work of actual good designers by understanding it rather than giving credit to every sub par design choice.
Again, your opinions are not facts and I disagree with all of them.
You sound like a Trump a supported. That’s my opinion. You can disagree with it all you want.
While I appreciate the efforts I always feel the need to update my current game whenever a new version releases. I hope they finish up and release a final version.
We’ll never call a version final, because the mod is simply worked on whenever we feel like changing something.
Ah! I see. Perpetual balancing. Nevertheless this is one mod I simply cannot play the game without.
Imagine if CDPR games got proper mod tools. CDPR pls.
