Witcher 3 Remastered Hotfix 5.00c Patches Saves, Audio, and HairWorks
CD Projekt Red has released Hotfix 5.00c for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered on Steam, targeting a handful of issues that surfaced since the previous build.
What changed
Save/load failure when the path to the Documents folder contained special characters has been resolved.
Voiceover audio dropping significantly quieter than other in-game audio after tabbing through the pause menu is now fixed.
Velen visuals have received adjustments to Bloom, vegetation lighting, saturation, and Path Tracing lighting.
HairWorks regression — a prior change that caused notable performance and visual degradation for some users with HairWorks enabled has been reverted.
Marketing telemetry settings were not being saved properly; that is now corrected.
Classic (1.32) version of the game could not be launched; the issue has been fixed.
The save-path bug was arguably the most disruptive of the set, locking out any player whose Windows username or folder structure included accented or otherwise non-standard characters. The HairWorks revert is equally practical — rolling back a change rather than forward-patching it suggests the original regression was significant enough to warrant an immediate retreat.
The announcement closes with a note that the team is continuing to investigate reports, signaling this is not the last patch in the current cycle.

Modders Restore Cut Witcher 3 Menu for Replaying Story Recaps Anytime
CD Projekt Red built a system into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt where Dandelion narrates brief story recaps — triggered when loading a save or fast-travelling to a new map section mid-playthrough. What was less known is that the studio also designed a dedicated menu for replaying these recaps at any time, similar to the existing character biography screen. That menu was cut before release.
Modders have now restored it.
What changed
A previously cut in-game menu has been recovered and made functional by modders
The menu allows players to watch any of the Dandelion-narrated story recaps on demand
It mirrors the accessibility of the existing character biography feature, which lets players look up key figures and their history with Geralt
The timing carries some weight. A Witcher 3 expansion called Songs of the Past is reported to be arriving next year, and the restored recap menu offers a practical way to refresh one's memory on the main story without committing to another full playthrough.
For players who have let the game sit for years, this recovered feature closes a gap that arguably should never have been cut in the first place.
