I'm using Windows 64-bit, and my computer exceeds the recommended requirements by far. The Witcher simply won't start up, and there are no error messages.
Now, here's what I've done so far:
1. Did the Regedit changes so that it would run in windowed mode. Also tried running it in 640x480 resolution, which at the very least gave me a black screen before crashing to desktop.
2. Tried running it as an administrator (and I'm on my admin account)
3. Tried running it under Windows XP Compatibility.
4. I don't have multiple GPUs, so no SLI or Crossfire for me.
5. Installed an older version of DirectX that worked with the game when I had Windows XP.
6. It was working once before,then it stopped working (aka: Stopped starting up) after (I think) Steam installed some version of DirectX that conflicted with the game. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the Witcher, and it was working fine. Now, when I try playing it again, IT DOESN'T START UP.
Am I going to have to uninstall and reinstall the game everytime I want to play?
