I've uploaded another main file for the next-gen version of the game. Download and install the appropriate one for whichever version of the game you are playing.
If you are using the next-gen version of the game you need to open the "dx12filelist.txt" file (or "dx11filelist.txt" if playing in DirectX 11) in the "Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc" folder and add "ESGO.xml;" to the end of the list. Do not forget the semicolon at the end. You can also use the mod Menu Filelist Updater to do this for you.
If you don't do this step, you will not have a menu for this mod.
Remember that ESGO has a website where you can find all the information available about the mod.
F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this mod compatible with New Game Plus? A: Yes, New Game Plus is supported. However, I don't personally play NG+ and only do basic testing for it, so it's more likely to have minor bugs and balance problems.
Q: Can I install this mod with Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex? A: Yes. However, an additional manual step is required because those mod managers don't install mod menus. Refer to the installation instructions for details on how to do this.
Q: I've installed the mod but I don't have the mod's menu in my game. (not really a question) A: You didn't install the mod's menu file. Read the installation instructions again, especially if you installed using NMM/Vortex.
Q: Should I have the vanilla game's enemy scaling on or off while using this mod? A: It shouldn't really matter, but I would turn it off just to be safe.
Q: Why are the mod settings not saving after I change them? A: Most likely you have your "user.settings" file set as read-only. The file is located in your "Documents/The Witcher 3" folder.
Q: Is this mod compatible with [insert mod name here]? A: Check out the compatibility page. It lists many popular mods that are compatible and incompatible. If you don't find it there, you can try asking here. You can also just try merging them and seeing if the game launches.
Q: I have a question about how one of the options works. (also not a question) A: Please read the description of the option on the ESGO Options page. It may answer your question. If not, try asking here and I may respond when I get time.
Q: Can you add a new option? Do you take requests? A: After working on the mod for about 3 years, I've decided that it's time to move on. I'm no longer going to change or add to the mod. I may still release small updates in the future to fix any bugs that are reported.
I've only had one issue. All the combat speed fonts doesn't seem to apper in the menu. I can still access these options though and tweak them. I've tried menu strings fix as a mod and manualy, but it just doesn't appear. What am I doing wrong?
So... I'm having an awful issue here: If a Chort is downscaled to level 5, it will deal essentially no damage. A single Wolf is around 5 times stronger than the Chort when both are level 5. The same goes for Wyverns and any other monster who's original level is quite higher than 5. I had to turn ON the option "Upscale only", but that defeats half of the purpose of the mod for me...
I have been enjoying the overhaul of the mod, but I am having issues with the butcher of blaviken option. I have dismemberment and finisher set to 100, but when enemies die they just fall over as if knocked out. Their eyes are still open, with no dismemberment or finisher. Read the FAQ and not finding anything. Anyone else having this issue?
Are you using another mod that controls dismember/finishers? For example, Criticl Slow Motion mod does, so that mod's sliders will override, meaning you have to use those sliders instead if you want to change the values.
I have this installed for Next-Gen, my question is if I can make mobs level past 105? I'm currently set to max level 200 and would like to see them scale with me.
The settings I followed on your website aren't working, if it's the case they can.
