   • Fixed music transition not working correctly when leaving and entering Beauclair catacombs.

   • Added a few more fixes from Nitpicker and Besserwisser (thanks to banmenot who explained some of them and helped me locate necessary files).
     
   • Removed Nitpicker's scabbard fixes where they were fixed by swapping around the scabbards, instead of fixing the scabbard itself. We felt like this type of fix is not up to BIA's standards.

   *** Besserwisser/Nitpicker integration ***

   With the permission of KoalaNalle BIA now incorporates Besserwisser and Nitpicker mods. Furthermore, it is not just a simple copy and paste. Every fix was re-evaluated and brought up-to-date where needed by the quality inspector MerseyRockoff. The definitive bug free experience await you. Thank you from all our hearts for being with us and supporing us throughout this endeavour.
   
   

   Below are the integrated fixes from Besserwisser and Nitpicker mods:
   Please send your kudos to the original mod authors: KoalaNalle, Gerignak and chuckcash.

   Spoiler:  

   Show

   
   

   
   
   • Added 1215 LOD improvements for various items throughout the game. Main categories include: Hair (both human and monster), eyes, ships and everything ship related (sails, masts, rudders, etc.), Roach equipment.
     
   • Fixed more cubic shadows on horses (compliment of the BIA fix #1917).
     
   • Fixed Gaetan having no scabbard.
     
   • Fixed flickering lighting in the scene in Vizima between Geralt and Yennefer during "Ugly Baby" quest. Note: This was undocumented, but found among Besserwisser's files.
     
   • Fixed lighting during Geralt - Igor talking in sewers scene.
     
   • Fixed lighting during Geralt - Roche talking about Whoreson scene.
     
   • Fixed Alternate Aard not creating water ripples when casting over water.
     
   • Euphoria mutation glow fix.
     
   • Fixed Ciri sometimes having two swords in cutscenes.
     
   • Multiple fixes during "Count Reuven's Treasure" quest with Triss killing Menge scene: Restored blood splutter effect to how it was when the game was released, it was removed in some subsequent patch, fixed blood not spluttering on one side of Triss' face and on her clothes, fixed spluttered blood dissipating almost instantly, breaking immersion. Note: This fix is completely re-done from scratch to ensure the correct blood effect and it not immediately dissipating.
     
   • Fixed Triss' DLC costume not loading properly in Corvo Bianco.
     
   • Fixed Ermion's staff fading in and out in some cutscenes.
     
   • Fixed Hierarch Hemmelfart's painting icon not lookng like the actual painting.
     
   • Fixed floating poster near Mulbrydale after the blacksmith is rescued.
     
   • Fixed flickering clouds in Kaer Morhen area.
     
   • Fixed Kiyan's scabbard position. Note: This was an undocumented fix found in Besserwisser's files and not fully finished. It is now properly re-done.
     
   • Fixed Roche's scabbard position.
     
   • Fixed Whoreson Junior's scabbard position.
     
   • Fixed spasming whales in Skellige.
     
   • Improved draw distance and shadows of windmills.
     
   • Fixed sword effects on basic swords not working correctly.
     
   • Fixed clipping issues with Geralt's arm and left sleeve of Ursine 1st tier armor.
     
   • Fixed Grandmaster Ursine armor not getting wet when raining. Note: Fix is re-done to ensure Grandmaster Ursine armor not changing its visual appearance together with the added wetness effect in rain.
     
   • Fixed a gap in Grandmaster Ursine gloves not meeting Geralt's wrists.
     
   • Fixed Iris sword not having the same scabbard as when Olgierd is using it and makes it unique. Note: This fix is redone. Nitpicker's original version was a hack, by making Iris unique, he had overwritten Sabre Scabbard 07 (a unique scabbard for EP1 sabre swords) and given them all Sabre Scabbard 06 (which is what scoia'tael swords use in base game). As a result, yes, Iris became unique, but we lost one scabbard completely in the process. It is now re-done, EP1 sabres use their unique scabbards and Iris uses its own unique scabbard that Olgierd does.
     
   • Fixed typo in XML file causing 2 different scabbard templates using the same model. Will now slightly increase the overall variety of NPC scabbards.

   • Fixed Damien missing scabbard.
     
   • Fixed clipping scabbards for "Cloud Giant's sword" and "Cantata".

   • Fixed the guest sleeping properly in their bed in Corvo Bianco, not sinking in it.
     
   • Fixed some Skellige warriors holding invisible axes.
     
   • Integrated numerous fixes for Keira: Fixed the visible seams on her arms and legs for her lingerie appearance, added her mole that was missing in the vanilla lingerie appearance, increased the autohide distance on her mole so it doesn't disappear in cutscenes from medium distance, added color definition and revised the color scheme of the bows on her sleeves.
     
   • Fixed some clothing racks floating/clipping.
     
   • Fixed common road sign model, sign not touching the post.
     
   • Fixed 2 sets of glitched catacomb doors near Beauclair cemetary. Note: This fix is completely re-done. Nitpicker didn't fix the doors, but just remove them entirely. They are now fixed properly to open and close normally and not having the skulls stuck.
     
   • Fixed DLC beards not displaying and growing correctly when Geralt has Gaunter's mark on his face.
     
   • Fixed fast travelling in a boat to Novigrad Docks sometimes placing the boat underwater.
     
   • Fixed Geralt's position in the boat so his swords do not clip through the side of it and increased LOD for sailable boats.
     
   • Fixed too small a table for an eternal fire guard and a witch hunter appearing near Novigrad gates after "Now or Never" quest has been started.
     
   • Fixed missing stoves and other objects in winter White Orchard.
     
   • Fixed Geralt swapping hair models when using Piercing Cold mutation.

   • Improved LODs on two ships in Oxenfurt.
     
   • Fixed floating fast travel signpost in Arinbjorn.

   • Fixed hole in Yennefer's outfit.
     
   • Fixed disappearing well during the scene when Geralt and Triss meet Ingrid Vegelbud in "A Matter of Life and Death" quest. Note: Fixed properly, instead of moving the camera.
     
   • Mesh correction for hanging ember bowl - flames no longer clip through the bottom of the bowl.
     

   
   
   

   Below are the excluded edits from Besserwisser and Nitpicker mods and the reasons why:

   Spoiler:  

   Show

   
   As copied from Nitpicker's page:
   

   
   
   • Darkens bright orange soles on Superior / Mastercrafted Ursine boots - Removed as it breaks the ability to use dyes on the boots.
     
   • Fiend / Chort AI no longer passive - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Gets rid of the bug that CAUSES the Corvo Bianco table to disappear in the epilogue of Blood & Wine - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Gaetan from "Where the Cat and Wolf Play is no longer wearing bright red clown boots anymore" - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Slightly moved the garrison doors in White Orchard so they don't open onto the guards and then rapidly swing back and forth - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Fixed the gaps in the Vespula (laundry woman) character model - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Also fixed some other meshes that caused similar gaps in generic Novigrad NPCs - Already fixed in BIA.
     

   As copied from Besserwisser's page:
   

   
   
   • Makes the Black Spider to be registered as insectoids - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Fixed Vivienne moving to Skellige after finishing Blood and Wine - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Added the missing scene. "Cooking for Yennefer" - Subjective cut content, can be accessed with Restored Content - Omelet Quest.

   • Added fixed mage by Gerignak - Already fixed in BIA.

   • Fixed Melusine when hit by Aard - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Added thighs to Pricilla & Added Panties to Pricilla thighs fix - Not a bug fix and runs the risk of clipping as the she doesn't have thighs because of her skirt.

   • Fixed parry with Ethereals - Already fixed in BIA.

   • Fixed Snow Hares giving loot - Already fixed in BIA.
     
   • Fixed lightning in opening cutscene - Already fixed in BIA.

   Regarding the quests Deserter Gold and Temerian Valuables
   One of the changes Brothers in Arms has made to the above quests has caused a bit of confusion. If you are having trouble this is the comment to read
   
   The quests Deserter Gold and Temerian Valuables have a problem in vanilla where they both converge at a shack near the windmill in White Orchard. There are 4 chests, 1 is for Temerian Valuables and is by default locked while the other 3 are from Deserter Gold and by default are unlocked. The issue arose where typically players loot the 3 chests from Deserter Gold before starting the quest, this results in the quest not starting at all or autoskipping several journal entries and objectives which is frustrating to completionists.
   
   As such BiA introduced a change where those 3 chests are now also locked until you find the key. If you are unsure where the key is it is found on a body in the forest where you normally start the quest.
   
   If for some reason you cannot find the key or have lost it this is the console command: additem('lw_prologue_deserter_key01')

      If you are on classic, make sure all mods are for classic. Did you run script merger and merge all of your scripts? With these errors, it really seems like you installed a next-gen mod and trying to use it on classic version of the game.

   Hey paulr0013 thanks for the 3900+ fixes.
   
   Extra: Don't buy or play Next Gen Edition the reasons are:
   
   1-No need for nonsense Netflix content.
   2-No need for DLSS.
   3-When I decided to play the game again after 8 years, I came across Next Gen and the game was consuming twice as much VRAM, they injected the HD rework mode into the game and this destroyed the optimization of the game on low budget computers.
   This is the biggest reason: Old Gen(1.31) consumes 2800 VRAM with Nvidia Hair Works on in Ultra settings/ Next Gen consumes 5000 VRAM even with Ray Tracing settings off.
   
   Result: A game that consumes twice as much VRAM under the name Next Gen.

      You just need GPU having higher VRAM.
      Besides, Next Gen offer more than just DLSS, Ray Tracing and "Netflix" content.

      From what I've read, CD Red Project injected the  Hd rework mod + Brothers in arms + Real time cutscene + All Npc Scabbards mod into the game, added Dlss and Ray tracing, and added a Devil Pit mission that is pointless and low quality compared to the rest of the game.
      And finally, they added the costumes and swords from the terrible series that Netflix put out.
      
      This comment explains why next gen is unnecessary for quality enthusiasts who don't like unnecessary work, and also advises people who will play the game for the first time and think that it lags too much to switch to the old version because the game doesn't actually lag in original version only lags on the new version because it is unnecessarily heavy.
      
      ElementaryLewis: You just need GPU having higher VRAM.
      
      I've been waiting for the 6000 series since the 2080 came out.
      We're in the 5000 series now one last step.
      The 6090 will probably be the final step for traditional graphics cards, and once you get it you'll be able to play any game or something it for 30 years if you can protect it well from dust.

      Game updates happen. While you're certainly within your rights to stay on classic edition of the game, there's perhaps one thing you're overlooking: the modding community has moved on from classic. There are some really cool mods that have come out exclusively for the next-gen edition of the game. Why deprive yourself of those experiences for the sake of staying on (arguably) lesser version of the game?

   Does BiA not fix the bug with all Perun Runestones stacking improperly with weapons that already have an Adrenaline gain boost? It's been an issue since the game's release and to this day, and I don't it mentioned anywhere in the list of changes.

    Hi, I'm new to modding Witcher 3 and this is the only mod I've tried installing so far. I extracted dlcBrothersInArms to the Witcher 3/dlc folder, I created the folder Witcher 3/mods and extracted both modBrothersInArms and modZBrothersInArms_LOD into it. I then installed and ran the Script Merger, it detected the mods and both columns were blank, 0 conflicts, which is a good thing, right? But when I launch the game, I get these errors. Have I done something wrong?

       I'm using DX11 mode. Is that still part of the Next-Gen version? I assumed it was the classic game.
       
       EDIT: Aight, I installed the Next Gen version and it worked. I feel silly. Thank you so much!

    Hi there, I see that this mod has conflicts with "All NPC Scabbards 1.22 including DLC" by "vinh1998", so may I ask which mod should I prioritize regarding Non Bundled Texts? Also, should I merge the Bundled Texts conflicts between them as well?

       Yes, you should always merge unless a mod explicitly instructs you not to.
       
       As for the conflicts, I don't know offhand which files are in conflict. If you can paste a screenshot, we can try to help. Absent that, my guess is the conflicts will be meshes or entities. Those should be ok to give priority to the Scabbards mod. The riskiest file types are .w2scene and .w2phase. If any conflicts consist of that file type, we recommend giving BiA priority because it can break quests if you give priority to another mod.

       Thanks for the reply! I used script merger to merge the Bundled Texts conflicts between them and did not have any problem, the one Non Bundled Texts conflict between them (.w2ent), I let Scabbard has priority and it seems to work great. Thank you once again!

    Hi. I know this might sound impossible, but is there anyway that you "restore" the quest "in the eternal fire's shadow" to the old gen version?

       Also, that quest isn't a "restored" content. It's a brand-new quest for a brand new armour set.

       Lewis’s patch relies on next gen assets and has issues with classic such as invisible ground textures in Novigrad. We just confirmed this in the general chat in the BiA Discord server. A new patch is necessary for classic compatibility.

       This is likely the result of some mod you have installed, as it is not vanilla behavior. I would start by removing all of your mods and adding them back on one-by-one until you identify the cause.
       
       Please note that BiA classic edition is considered final. There are no plans for additional bug fixes.

       Thanks for answering at least, but that would be the last ditch effort to me. Deleting every mod one by one would take forever, I would also have to delete the merges I made and what if somehow my safegame got corrupted or something? I'd rather take my chances here and hope that someone is experienced enough to know what this is and knows what might cause the issue.
