Like most of the people with the game not Starting

Windows 7 here , English install. Everything is up to date even the package c++ etc.

Am Running out of Idee...

this is what i did so far

added gog client
try to start FROM GOG updated
remove gog client
sc delete *.*
renames galaxy.dll
reinstall
Change Custom Path to Default path
ran everything has Admin
give UAC full privilege to everything related to GOG and Witcher 3
even added task Schedule on Witcher 3 to make sure system give full priviledge

Still get this no Mather what even after patch 1.01

Game

================================================================

Same issue here. I've tried all the same things and more...

Do you have writing permission in that location? As that's what the error is complaining about.

I made all that things too. I even try to install that game to another machine with the same result.

did try on a diffrent OS , with less permission issue ...

same probleme , am thinking about ghosting back a windows 8.1 to test ..

all files in the folder have full power or realted folder ... event made a task in task scheduler for the processs giving it full power

same problem.

Even with full access to all folders and run as admin, the game still crashes after the intro video (yennefer search) and a 2-3 seconds display of loading. (Win8.1, gtx970, AMD 8Core)
A test on an older PC (win7,IntelCore I5, gtx770) did not show this error and the game starts normal.

seee i cant start it with 8800GTS 1gig , and QuadCore on Windows 7

woundering if not related to directX more and more ... still dont see anyone from GOG sayin that if your card dont run full DX11 wont start



Will try windows 8 or 10 ... am pretty sure aint realted to the type off GPU at this point

I have the same video card. Game did'n start because must be dx11 card.
You can start this game on that video card if you use the "Force WARP" in direct 3d settings. For that you must install Windows SDK. You can read about it on that link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1973140/run-dx11-game-dx10-graphics-card.html
or search on google "Run dx11 game on dx10 graphics card".

Hi, I've got the same problem. I'm sure it is about graphic card. When I uninstalled drivers for my card, the game finally started but it was really slow and I wasn't even able to move Geralt. You can try to look for new drivers but I think it won't work. Now I'm tryin' to run DX11 on my Radeon HD4870x2. If it will solve the problem, I'll tell you

OK, I've done this, but it is not working at all.. GOG thinks that game is started but it isn't. I dont have this crash error, but it is not working anyway. I think that buying a new graphic card can solve this problem.. I'm not really happy about that..

Post your system specs...

Same issue!
