The Witcher 3 patch 1.22 out for PC, coming soon to PS4, Xbox One

One of the major issues addressed was inability to lock the camera on enemies following the completion of The Warble of a Smitten Knight.

Other fixes have been applied to Roach's vanishing tail, and she is no longer a stubborn nag who refuses to move during the aforementioned quest.

The lady in red will also no longer follow Geralt around. He apparently didn't reciprocate her obsessive feelings. But courtesans at Belles of Beauclair will no longer reappear in the room after a sex scene, so he's out of luck in that respect.

Geralt will also no longer die after a loading screen in the Turn and Face the Strange quest, which is helpful.

Have a look at the entire notes for Patch 1.22 below.

The patch for The Witcher 3 is now available on PC and will be released on PlayStation 4and Xbox One soon.
