Witcher 3 patch 1.22 fixes floating body parts, beehive money exploit

Horse's tail disappearing? Body parts floating in mid-air? Marlene not talking to you? Sounds like you need The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt patch 1.22 (out now).

Note that this patch fixes the Beehive White Orchard money exploit in Witcher 3. Why don't you leave that poor dwarf alone.

There's no new content for The Witcher 3 and there won't be now - we know that - but there is a relatively long list of issues addressed.

Tweaks range from user interface alterations to preventing swords being permanently lost; and from Majordomo refusing to budge, the bastard, to fixing a loading screen that loads forever. The full list of changes is below.

Also, in case you missed it, there was some Witcher 3-related news at E3 last week: a standalone version of the card game Gwent, for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The closed beta is coming in September.

Gwent standalone revealed! - The Witcher's card game will be a full release - Xbox E3 2016
