The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Improved Particle Systems v.1.0.Fix - Game mod - Download

Improved Particle Systems is a mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, created by MrMan01.

Description (in author’s own words):

After visiting an old thread on the RED forums (http://forums.cdprojektred.com/forum/en/the-witcher-series/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/mod-discussions/61490-igni-effects-and-particles), where a mod was created to make the firestream form of Igni influenced by the wind, I found that the testmod provided by SirRod1415, although very interesting in principle, had a few issues. Firstly, it didn't really change anything about the secondary form of Igni other than wind influence; secondly, the effect was a bit too strong, and focused solely on the embers at the tip of the stream; thirdly, it only applied to, as stated previously, the alternate casting of Igni.

Inspired, I created this mod so that the modified particle effects' erstwhile limitations would be no more.

Installation:

Extract the file "modImprovedParticleSystems.rar" using a suitable program (you should probably use winrar).

Copy the folder "modImprovedParticleSystems.rar" to [Witcher 3 Directory]/mods, where [Witcher 3 Directory] is the address of TW3 on your computer. As an example, mine is "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\".

If you experience the issue with CTDs during fast travel, try recompiling your mod files. Look at the relevant issue in the "bugs" section for detailed instructions on how to do this.
