stacycmc: Any other updates on potential fixes for this?
I finished the core game before the holidays last year, took a break so I could play through both expansions back to back, so just picked it back up preparing for the release of Blood and Wine next month... Initially I finished out a few other missions just so i could get the second good ending of the game, that went fine, but then I purchased the expansion pass and installed HOS and started a new game plus, now I cannot play for 30 minutes straight without a crash. Have over 100 hours in this game before this though and didn't have this problem until now.
Did anyone else have this problem mainly after installing the expansion? From the date on a lot of these posts, some of these issues started in the core game, so I'm not sure all these issues are the same as the one i'm experiencing since initially my game ran fine and is only just now crashing. The game appears to run smooth as butter then out of nowhere CRASH. It's random too. One time, it will just crash to desktop, then it will freeze my whole rig and i have to force restart, then it blue screen, then it will crash and i have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to get out of it and get back to desktop. It can run for 2 minutes or 30 minutes, then CRASH.
I'm thinking about uninstalling the entire game and reinstalling it, because I just can't figure out what changed between now and then that is making it crash every few minutes.
Anyone have any other ideas? I've tried most of the ideas posted on here including downclocking my video card and memory clock, cutting off Geforce Xperience, uncheck the Game Overlay in GOG, cut off GOG completely after the witcher starts, cut off all my other programs when Witcher is running, tried borderless, FS borderless, and fullscreen, updated drivers, rolled back to really old drivers, etc... I'm just not sure what else to do, it's so frustrating, this is one of my favorite games and I was super stoked about playing the expansions, so this is really frustrating.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix. I had the crashing problems in December 2015 and got the advice to "verify files" through Galaxy. But the Galaxy kept saying that there's "server error" and the official response to that was
I've tried Galaxy again earlier this month and still got "server unavailable". So if your game still crashes - you're s**t out of luck.
