I got the game downloaded and installed, lowered the settings and I can't get passed the first load screen after starting a new game. I had to circumvent the minimum requirements...is there anything else I can do to get this to work? I played TW2 and was thoroughly impressed and can't wait to get this up and running.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem or am I the only one?

Hi there, did you read this topic [url= http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_witcher/fixes_to_common_problems ]Link[/url] there are many bugs fixes and I think you'll a solution to your problem. If not, try and contact the support.

I had the same problem as you, I fixed it by lowering the resolution and tried some stuff from the topic above.

Good luck.
