Hi,

I am new to GOG, and I just installed the Witcher 3 and since I have installed it, I have the Play button in green but when I press it nothing happens...
What should I do?

Thanks,
Sabine

snowkatt: are you using galaxy ?
Yes. When I click on the Witcher icon it opens Galaxy, this is where I click on the green Play button but nothing happens

My computer is not the newest, but it should at least start running the game no? I might face performance issue in case my computer is not performant anymore but here nothing moves. I don't see any sign of the game starting to launch

Can you give us some more details about your computer please? It might help us understand better the nature of the problem. Also please specify which Windows you're using and if it's 32 or 64 bit.

It's windows vista but when I click to see if it is 32 or 64 bits I see the properties window opening but it closes straigh ahead....
It is difficult to give more details as really what happens is that nothing moves when I click on Play on Galaxy
(sorry I realize I am not helping much...)
Ok I found it. it is a 32 bit version

If you look at the game page:
https://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt

It says the game is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10. Not Vista. I am sorry, that may not help you much, my only advice is to move to a more modern operating system, Vista was rather bad.

That's your issue then as Witcher 3 is a 64bit only game, that's why it isn't opening.

Also, one more thing.

Make sure your GPU (graphics card) supports DirectX 11, most 2010 or later GPUs have this. Earlier models will not run the game even at lowest details.
