New Witcher 3 First-Person Camera Mod Brings Major Improvements
Modder ExtremeDotneting recently unleashed First-Person Camera Reworked for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a new PC mod that fixes errors from previous first-person builds. Over six years after its initial release and The Witcher 3's modding community remains as vibrant as ever.
There is no shortage of available mods either, with talented fans often adding new items, cosmetics, and other supplementary content. Of course, members of the modding community have worked tirelessly to improve the core experience, too, by introducing improved animations, enhanced lighting, and upscaled textures for animals and environments. Other drastic fan-made changes have even played an instrumental role in truly transforming the look of the six-year-old role-playing game, evidenced in build configurations that see the title running in 8K with ray-traced visuals on an RTX 3090. First-person mods have grown in popularity as well, though they sometimes fall short of expectations. The latest first-person mod endeavors to alleviate these troubles.
ExtremeDotneting uploaded their First-Person Camera Reworked mod for The Witcher 3 on Nexus Mods (via Wccftech) this past weekend. In building this particular mod, ExtremeDotneting aimed to address the errors plaguing mods such as mods First Person Improved and modFirstPerson. Notably, FPCR "makes control more convenient" and fixes issues other mods had with displaying crossbows and swords. The modder also claimed users can expect previous problems related to Witcher Sense and camera shifting during actions like attacking and sprinting to be resolved.
At present, jury's out on whether the stated improvements actually work as intended, yet it sounds as though the mod is at least worth checking out for curious Witcher 3 fans on PC. And, as noted above, The Witcher 3's modding scene has given birth to a score of other interesting mods over the years.
The wait for The Witcher 3's and Cyberpunk 2077's upgrades on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S persist. While CD Projekt Red hopes to deliver the much-coveted updates by the end of this year, the developer told shareholders in a recent earnings meeting that such a launch window is not currently guaranteed. Thus, when exactly the enhanced versions will arrive still remains a question that not even CDPR seems able to fully answer as of writing.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, Xbox platforms.
