The Witcher 3 PC Dive Bug Fix

====================================

Many players who've recently purchased The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for their PC are encountering an infuriating bug while trying to dive in various bodies of water throughout the game world.

This specific issue causes Geralt, your main protagonist and professional monster hunter (yes, that's his actual job), to immediately start swimming up towards the surface as soon as you attempt a diving action. This can be quite frustrating when you're deep underwater or even worse – in the middle of an intense combat encounter with a fearsome aquatic creature.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to fix this problem and resume your Witcher 3 adventure without any further dive-related problems:

### Step 1: Check Your Controls

First things first, double-check that you haven't accidentally mapped your diving action to the wrong key. Sometimes, especially when switching between different games or controllers, our default controls can become jumbled up.

To verify this:

- Press `Esc` on Windows (or `F3`) to open the game's menu.

- Go to 'Options' > 'Controls'.

- Scroll down until you find the section labeled as 'Waters – Swimming'.

- Make sure that your diving action is indeed mapped correctly. If not, simply drag and drop it to its proper location.

### Step 2: Disable Any Running Mods or DLCs

If changing up your controls didn't resolve the issue, try disabling any running mods (modifications) you might have installed for The Witcher 3. Sometimes, these user-created tweaks can sometimes conflict with each other or even with certain aspects of the base game itself.

To do this:

- Press `Esc` on Windows (or `F3`) to open the game's menu.

- Go to 'Options' > 'Save Game Location'.

- Locate your Witcher 3 saves folder. It should be named something like '.Bethesda/steam/user/savedgames/witcher3/' or similar depending on where you have Steam installed.

### Step: 3 Reinstall The Witcher 3

If none of the above steps managed to fix this pesky bug, it might be time for a more drastic measure – completely reinstalling The Witcher 3 from scratch. Don't worry; your save data should still remain intact as long as you've followed all the proper backup procedures before uninstalling and re-installing the game.

To do so:

- Go to 'Start' > 'Control Panel'.

- Double-click on 'Programs and Features'.

- Find The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the list of installed programs.

- Right-click it and select 'Uninstall'.

### Step 4 (Optional): Verify Your Game Files

If you're still encountering problems after reinstalling, try running a manual check for any corrupted game files using your respective PC's built-in file integrity tool. This will scan through all the necessary game data to ensure that everything is where it should be and hasn't become jumbled up during installation or download.

For Windows users:

- Open Steam (if you purchased Witcher 3 via this platform).

- Go to 'Library' > right-click The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

- Select 'Properties'.

- Click on the 'Local Files' tab at the top-right corner of the resulting window.

- Press the big green 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache...' button.

### Step 5 (Last Resort): Contact CD Projekt Red Support

If none of these steps have managed to resolve this dive-related problem for you, it might be time to reach out directly to CD Projekt RED – the developers behind The Witcher series – and report your issue through their official support channels. They'll likely appreciate any additional information or logs they can gather from your system in order to better diagnose and potentially patch up this bug as soon as possible.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to dive back into the world of V without worrying about Geralt suddenly swimming off with abandon every time he takes an unplanned dip. Happy adventuring!
