So, the Witcher 3...
Among my older videos, the Witcher 3 remains as one of the most popular and most influential.
I have been meaning to return to this game for a while.
First, because I wanted to see if there was any way to possibly "play" this game on
my current favorite setup, this budget Intel Celeron CPU and its IntelHD and second because
I have heard of at least a couple of mods or tools that greatly facilitate reducing
this game to its absolute lowest, so… let's get started.
Welcome to the LowSpecGamer, a strange youtube show where I try to figure out ways of getting
games running under the minimum requirements by tweaking everything I can until the games
look like this.
And on this episode we are playing around with some witcher 3 mods.
The Witcher 3 is an insanely popular game released on 2015 with some pretty hefty minimum
requirements, like a GTX 660.
I was curious to see what I could pull from this, an Intel Celeron G1840, this dual core
CPU has an Intel HD that can be overclocked with the right hardware.
But even on the highest GPU clock speed I could manage the performance of the game was…
insufficient, and that is on the lowest setting and resolution.
So, let's try a couple of tools.
All links will be in the description.
The first is this, Witcher 3 Ultra Low, less of a mod than a set of premade config files
for different levels that simplifies all the work I went through on my older video.
It comes in an ultra-low version if you need a smaller boost and this under 9000 configuration
that I will be using.
Truly, for the desperate.
Installing it is very simple.
Two files are downloaded with the mod, user.settings needs to be moved to your
documents folder, witcher 3.
This file is the one you want to edit if you wish to change the resolution or fullscreen
settings.
Next is rendering.ini.
You need to search the installation directory for Witcher 3 and from there bin, config,
base and paste it there.
The result is this familiar view, performance is significantly more playable now at the
cost of texture and effect quality.
Also, just like in the old video shadows are limited to a small area and drawn much closer
to the player, with the draw distance of trees being the shortest possible, they pop right
in front of you when you less expect it.
But the game does ok, even with some light combat.
Right, but if you want even more things to reduce or, more probably, would rather have
a more granular approach at changing the graphics rather than nuking it all to the lowest, then
Ultimate Graphics Options Mod is for you.
This mod exposes all those graphical variables to the settings screen of the game itself,
so you can tweak to your heart's content without much effort.
To install this mod all you need to move is to grab the included files and move them to
your installation directory.
Before doing that, you might want to backup the config folder inside of bin if something
goes wrong.
If all goes well you will notice this new section in your graphical settings where you
have full control to reduce all the game's detail as you wish.
However, keep in mind that after taking it all down to the lowest you might have some
difficulty finding your way around during nighttime.
Well, it seems we won, we completely removed the tree, it's gone, forever.
Wow, this is just, it's just- woah!
Nevermind that!
Combat isn't as bad as I expected, I just really suck at this game.
Well, that did not last very long
That is all for this video, It was worth taking a second look at this game and expanding the
list of devices this intel celeron has played.
I hope you find any of these mods useful.
Before leaving I want to give a shotout to all the people making memes and jokes in the
LowSpecGamer subreddit and the official discord.
I am really having a blast reading all your jokes it's really fun!
Thank you as well to all the people in Patreon who donate, month after month.
I will see you all in the next video.
