Both things are except for damage potions and armor resistance like poison resistance total useless? I really would like to see a health potion like it was in the first game. The first weak healt potion is this weak that I cant noticed it at all when I consume it and the second is the armor value, also a thing what I don't notice. I die anyway with 4 hits no matter what armor I wear.So for what the heck are those things? Just a fancy thing? And yah I play with the Darkmode and I am right now in the last act thx to the jumping and rolling on the floor Witcher.

I have the Steam En version with a German layout. The graphic bug is a gridded shadow but only 10% of the shadows are gridded. I cant describe it better, look for your self: Behind the Elfs @ the plants, . Compare for your self with ubasampling the game don't get much ugly for this gridded things as when I turn it off and the bad thing about it is that my Machine is not really made for ubasampling. But without it looks to much crap. With uba: , Without: .
Game is maxed out with ubasampling except for Cinematics.I try every Graphic option and turned everything off or to low and the error is also there.

The other problem is that I get to much CDT, I played 20 min in the first act. I get today 3-4 CDT after loading the game in 2-4 mins.
Also when I play the prologue I get 5-7 CDTs. Its really annoying when you must sell your stuff 4 times again and buy stuff 4 times again because the game crashes.

I only see this shadow whatever graphical bug in one other game, Arma2. Also I don't know it what the problem there is.
