I haven't played the game after today's patch installed, so maybe they fixed it. What I'm interested in is that has anyone else had this or is this really intentional? I never faced this problem before the second latest patch (the one with alternate movement)

I'm sorry I don't have any video or images because it's on PS4. This is a basic mod that makes a significant impact on frustration. It's nothing game breaking but damn it's annoying to load a save because I just can't get out from the water. Another was being able to jump in shallow water. I've tried calling for Roach but the idiot horse won't come near enough to generate the 'mount' option. For example, I installed one that allowed Geralt to wear his cloak like the games opening video. He won't jump/roll nor walk to higher ground. Typically these are surrounded by water banks that by all logic should be accessible by Geralt, if not by walking up then jumping/rolling. During my adventures I've sometimes ended up in shallow water, like small puddles and ditches that are about waist-deep for Geralt - you know the ones where he starts to move slower but not swim yet. I'm playing Witcher 3 on PS4, and last few days I've had the weirdest, most annoying bug in the game.
