A couple of weeks ago, modder ‘rejuvenate’ released a new update for the amazing Online Multiplayer Mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. So, let’s see what Patch 1.11 brought to the table.
For those who did not know, Witcher Online is a mod that adds multiplayer to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. With this mod, players can join servers and play together with friends. You can customize your character with Custom Player Characters and relax in taverns using the Chill Out feature. You can also chat with other players, use emotes, and roleplay with strangers. Best of all, you can experience the full story of Geralt and Ciri from beginning to end, all while exploring the world of The Witcher with other players.
Each player will be able to see their equipped armor, swords, crossbow, scabbards, hairstyle, and face mark. There is also full movement and combat sync. Players can swim, ride horses, and fight enemies. Yes, you read that right. You can fight with your friends against all of the game’s enemies.
You can also use a lot of different emotes that other players will see. There are some great quality-of-life features made just for online play. For example, when you open a menu, a status will appear above your character’s head showing which menu you’re in. When you type in chat, your message will also appear above your head. The mod also fully syncs crthdr’s Chill Out mod. This means you and your friends can smoke, go fishing, sit, sleep, or even chop trees together.
We first reported on this mod on January 13th. Since then, Witcher Online has received two patches.
Patch 1.1 introduces entity culling, which significantly improves performance. Players who are more than 100 meters away will no longer render. The patch also improves performance when creating player entities and when loading new appearances from Custom Player Characters.
Additionally, it adds an overhead status indicator when a player is in a cutscene, and removes the option to teleport to players directly from the world map, as this feature was buggy and causing issues. The update also fixes a bug that caused incorrect animations to play when teleporting to another player, as well as an issue where other players’ minimap icons would randomly duplicate.
On the other hand, Update 1.11 is a smaller one. This patch enables players to teleport to other players using the world map. It also comes with general stability improvements, and it fixes a bug where minimap icons would remain after a player left.
Those interested can go ahead and download the mod from this link. I have not found a video that highlights this latest version of the mod. As such, I’ve included its older trailer at the end of the article.
Speaking of The Witcher 3 Next-Gen, you can also download some other cool mods for it. For example, there is a really cool first-person mod. The Characters Reworked Project is another interesting mod that improves the quality of over 100 characters. Let’s also not forget this mod that lets you kill most in-game NPCs. Then we have this mod that overhauls the game’s combat with better animations, better targeting, and new dodging mechanics.
In July 2024, we shared mods that restored the boat races and added 15 new quests. A modder has also restored the reputation system that CDPR cut from the game. On top of that, there is a cool fan expansion, based on the original book “The Last Wish”. Plus, we have a mod that adds a new questline for Ciri and a new region to explore.
In December 2023, we shared this mod that restores content that was cut from all previous The Witcher games. Then, in February 2024, we shared a mod that attempted to remove the fake “hero” light from the game’s cut-scenes. There is also this mod that allows you to explore a part of the world from the first The Witcher game in TW3. Oh, and don’t forget this mod that allows you to ride a Griffin. Or how about this Sekiro-inspired combat mod?
We also have some mods for those playing with Ray Tracing. The RTX Mirrors Mod adds proper reflections to the game’s mirrors. Then we have this mod that improves the fire effects via Ray Tracing Global Illumination. Plus, this mod fixes the Ray Tracing bleach issues.
Have fun!
