Hey guys, yesterday i started to play witcher 3 again after a long break.
I didn't change any settings in the last few months i didn't play. But when i walk around with geralt, he keeps on walking even i already stopped to press W (play on PC with keyboard and mouse) and the camera moves around even i don't do anything.

I reinstalled the game and restarted the pc several times. I tried all different USB-spots and even tried a second keyboard and mouse. Changed the settings ingame, turned on the alternate movement and off. But all those things didn't work so far.

It's really annoying when that happens. So if anyone knows what to do, give me a hint.

Thank you ^_^

the latest galaxy/windows update created an overlay problem, causing the game to lag. you need to turn off the overlay on the galaxy-settings-disable overlay tab, this should stop the problem. it affected heaps of players.
THANK YOU !!! <3


I've turned it off already caus it annoyed me anyway. But didn't play after doing that.
But it really was the problem. I played a while to make sure. And it works !

Thank you so much ^_^

Oopsy, kind Lady. I just assumed your gender... :o

I've been playing a few hours with the overlay disabled and it totally solved the problem. So thank you again, Madam. :)
