Summary
AWitcher 3player encountered a bug that caused Geralt of Rivia to move and attack with unbelievable speed, utilizing swift movements to take down an enemy without getting hit. The player captured their experience in a short clip that shows Geralt sprinting toward their target before delivering a flawless combo inThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
After initially launchingThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntin May 2015, CD Projekt Red implemented a variety of improvements to coincide with the game’s next-gen update in December 2022. The big re-release ofThe Witcher 3arrived for the PC and current-gen platforms, adding in global illumination, ambient occlusion, ray-tracing capabilities, and multiple mods to improve the overall quality of the game. While significant graphical adjustments were made, CD Projekt continued to make changes, with update 4.04 administering fixes for various issues. It shows that the developer hasn’t forgotten about The Continent while administeringfixes forCyberpunk 2077and itsPhantom Libertyexpansion.
However, despite the many improvements that CD Projekt Red has made toThe Witcher 3with update 4.04, players continue to run into glitches and bugs. One such example involves Reddit user Sludgy101, who obtained a bug that doubles Geralt’s overall speed in the game. The player shared a clip of their encounter with the bug, showing a swift-moving Geralt rushing into action with a Golem. Sludgy101 then proceeds to attack the Golem, performing a continuous swinging attack that essentially stun-locks the enemy. Geralt manages to defeat the enemy without receiving any hits. This all occurs within a 20-second clip that concludes with Sludgy101 looting their fallen enemy.
While Sludgy101’s video showcases a bug that makes Geralt move like The Flash, the superhero speedster from DC Comics, there is some mild speculation that a cheat engine was used. The suspicion is pointed out by a few comments in Sludgy101’s post, where one claims to have seen the “cheat engine speed cheat” before. Sludgy101 responded to this, saying, “I don’t have any cheat engine this is all from the game,” followed by a laughing emote. This may confirm that otherglitches still exist inThe Witcher 3, even after the updates that touched on the game’s graphics and performance.
There is a mod that does make Geralt move faster, even if it may not have something to do with the bug in question. Thefaster movement for Geralt mod forThe Witcher 3comes from modder Gogan2, and it can be downloaded through the Nexus Mods platform. Interested players can look to the mod if they’re attempting to replicate the rapid movements of Geralt of Rivia from this clip.
Players can install manymods forThe Witcher 3to enhance their experiences in the game, yet bugs such as the speeding Geralt can prove just as memorable for fans of the CD Projekt Red title.
