Description

Hello Witcher 3 community.
The Next-Gen version is finally available since 14th December 2022. As we were expecting, CDPR changed much more content, but we don't know exactly which files or how they change it.

That's what this changelog does. With the contribution of many modders, we were prepared to find all the difference between Classic 1.32 and Next-Gen version. So, this useful information will help everyone to update their mods for the free update Next Gen Patch.
You can find the list of all changed files in the Files section. Or access to the GitHub page on the links below.

The changelog is divided into:



  • CR2W[List changed available in main file]
Green: No change!!

  • Texture[List changed available in main file]
  • DDS 1.32 vs 4.00(Hotfix2)
  • JPG 1.32 vs 4.00(Hotfix2)[Almost all! Except Spiral and Vizima]
  • PNG 1.32 vs 4.00(Hotfix2)

  • W2cube 1.32 vs 4.00(Hotfix2)
  • W2l 1.32 vs 4.00(Hotfix2)
  • XBM 1.32 vs 4.00(Hotfix2)


  • Miscellaneous

You can see the changelog through GitHub on the links above. The main files also contain the list of all changed files.
That way you can easily tell if your mods require to update or not.

Reason behind the project

Back to the year of 2015 and 2016. There were many patches to the game for which modders, at this time, have to keep their mods working at the current states, otherwise their mods would become redundant and impossible to use.
It even worser that they have to make a Steam and GOG version, until Unification Patch / Community Patch Base came out.

Since 2017, two thousand and more (+2,000) mods were created based on 1.31/1.32. Which around 3/4 of them become instantly Next Gen Incompatible.
We don't want to waste all the work they did and so the changelog will help to update their mods for the current Next-Gen version.
Remember: Worked mod doesn't mean it's Next Gen Compatible! Unless the vanilla files hasn't been changed. So please modder, you have to update your mods.
