How to install? Simply unzip and place the folder in your Witcher 3 "Mods" folder. To uninstall you just need to remove the folder added by this mod.
For the menu to work merge the included "bin" folder with your existing one in your Witcher 3 installation. To uninstall the menu, remove the "GallopDust.xml" found under "... The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc"
_______________________________________________________ Known Issues In normal mode the dust effect will play no matter what surface Roach is riding one (yes even stone). Hence the reason why the "Following Road" option was included in the mod as an alternative.
The effect has difficulties playing correctly if you go straight to to full gallop but if it should play just fine if you first canter with Roach for a split second before you transition to gallop speed.
A tiny immersion mod for The Witcher 3 that adds dust particles when Roach's hooves hit the ground during gallop. Simple, lightweight, and community-approved with 1,162 endorsements. Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with the latest game version.
