Marked the thing I find the most important.
These other bugs mentioned I haven't experienced in my game with quests from the list I did apart from Ciri's story hounds, but with space+w anyone can outrun (outblink) them all easily, didn't even suspect it was a bug, LOL

Same joxer, I though the number of monsters was normal and that you were not supposed to fight them.

:/ I already find them too large as is.

Yeah, I fought them and died in the White Frost at first but when thought "why bother?" and just run for it.

Just wait for complains that it's too large…

There is a new geforce driver out for nvidia cards that some say is a big improvement in fps and other things for the Witcher 3.

After I installed it and loaded Witcher 3 for a quick spin, I did notice my fps seemed to improve, and stay at 60 fps more consistently when walking around the landscape.

The no-XP glitch is much more pressing imo. Initially they said they would hotfix it before the patch, but now it seems they're willing to delay it for the 1.05 patch. And that's bad. Such an issue should've been fixed as fast as possible. Initially I said I would be playing with the issue, but I read some people saying they completed too many quests while getting no xp, and now it's become a real difficulty issue because all remaining quests are higher than him. I do not want to end in that place, needing to farm the creatures for xp to recover.

Careful, there are some players on Steam who's performance got destroyed with the new patch!

In other words, if your game already runs smooth, don't use the latest patch till the matter is solved.

I also found there a bit of a problemsolver for colorblind players - since the color of tracks and smells (red) cannot be changed in ini files or options, the solution is to play those quests during the night:

But this doesn't mean it shouldn't be added as an option.

And I hoped they would've increaded it more than just "slightly" on PC. Why don't they make it configurable?? :/

There is a small and large option on PC (I'm using small).

I don't think it affects the font size of the quest description, the glossary, and so on, which is where it matters most.

Yes - I've got that too and it does seem to be an improvement.

Also I've been experimenting with Hunter's Config, which is a configuration utility that means you don't have to frig about with all those ini files if you need to make some tweaks to game settings (other than those that are already options)… And also allows you to install/uninstall SweetFX with a single click! You can find it here: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/12/? Seems to work well. But WARNING: when they say SweetFX is notr compatible with FRAPS - they mean it!

I've also been fortunate in not running into the various bugs (fingers crossed): Pyres of Novigrad worked with no problems.

Same here. Hope it's a toggled option.

Various bug fixes and user experience improvements in GUI panels.

Thats the one I'm looking at. Haven't played in the last few days because opening any part of the UI will crash the game after 10 minutes or so. Everything was fine for a while and I don't know if it was 1.04 or my graphics card (second hand r9 290) that caused the problem.

The patch won't be today, confirmed on twitter.

Yup, sad news:
