EDIT: FIXED IT - By default Raytracing is enabled. Just disable it!

Game keeps crashing for no obvious reasons. DX11 doesn't even start and DX12 crashes directly after intro video.

I finished the game years ago on an older system, so why can't it be played today?
Srsly, I didn't expect GOG/CD Project own products would be so troublesome.

Trying now to download the old version (1.31), at least it's still provided.

WIN 10
AMD RYZEN 2600
GTX 1660 Super
16GB RAM

For me, I moved the game to a second desktop session. On Win11, when you press the windows key + tab. So I only have witcher 3 running on the desktop 2. Doing this I haven't experienced a crash yet. Hopefully it doesn't crash for me, so yet to be determined.

_DickJustice_: Can also confirm that 4.0.4 is incredibly crash-prone for me. When I load a game, there's a 50-60% chance it'll crash during the load screen. It'll also sometimes crash when changing equipment in the inventory screen. Didn't encounter any such issues when I tested out the classic version.
Inventory crashes are due to nvidia hair. Turn it off in game options.

_DickJustice_: The random crashes I was getting when loading a save seem to have stopped now that I've turned off hairworks. Guessing that's why the setting is turned off by default when you select the highest graphics preset.
Same for me, but it would turn on by default with high and ultra settings (without RT).

Jakub_Piechocki: The Witcher 3 often crashes on the RTX3070TI SUPRIM X graphics card.
The Witcher 3 crashes when loading saves, fast travel and during gameplay.
Please help me or fix it.

016R35: The uselessness of the game programmers is hopeless, the only remedy left is to play the DX11 version.
Send 'em your CV, maybe you can fix it all.
