After the launch of the nextgen Witcher 3 update, players quickly noted shaky performance and stuttering as they explored the remastered world. But the conversation soon grew beyond pure optimization concerns. The update sparked a broader discussion about how changes in the remaster affected beloved in-game moments and cutscenes, leaving fans curious about what might have shifted under the hood.
Among the observations, a specific scene involving Yennefer during the quest There’s no place like home drew attention. Some players claimed the bed scene had vanished in the updated version. The community proposed a possible cause tied to the game’s Immersive Real-time Cutscenes feature, which was adjusted to enhance video presentation in the remaster. A few mod authors noted that certain scenes might be more challenging to rework, and the Yennefer moment appeared to be one of those instances. The prevailing sentiment was that CD Projekt RED did not intend to remove it, and fans hoped a patch would restore the moment. The discussion reflected a mix of caution about unintended side effects and optimism about upcoming fixes from the developer.
Updated insights clarified that the scene was not actually deleted from the remaster. Rather, it seems some players encountered a bug that created the impression of removal. The community response shifted toward acknowledging potential stability issues rather than deliberate content removal. The resolution, while sometimes slow to surface, reinforced the idea that the remaster is still actively refined, and what appeared as a cut could be traced to a bug rather than a design choice. This clarification helped restore confidence among fans who feared a permanent change to a cherished sequence.
