CSibley81: I purchased Witcher from GOG and I am getting this error "GPU does not meet minimal requirements. Support for DirectX11 is required." Does anyone know a work around? My computer is older my not terribly old. Any help is appreciated.
lawlist: I have the same problem on a fairly powerful desktop computer, although a little bit dated. I purchased from Origin and they gave me my money back -- they have a satisfaction guarantee or your money back policy so long as you exercise that option within the specified time period. I was very disappointed that I couldn't play the game after waiting so long and following the progress of the development.
It would be helpful if you posted some of your PC specifications? I doubt very much that you have "...a fairly powerful desktop computer..." by today's standards. It may well have been a powerful system a few years ago, but a current 'fairly powerful system' would most probably have DX11 hardware support.
It sounds like you didn't do your homework either and your system is a little too outdated to run TW3. Sadly, you'll find yourself in this position more frequently as more games are switching to DX11 and in the future, to DX12. Technology moves forward at a pace, as you're now finding out.
