Hello,

I have an issue running The Witcher on my new notebook. Especially during cutscenes, but occassionally also during normal gameplay, the screen goes completely black. After that, I can see windows desktop, and after a few seconds, the game returns. If I connect an external screen, its LED becomes orange, so it actually looses connection to the notebook for a few seconds.

My System:
- GeForce 1070 (Newest driver)
- Windows 10
- Game settings to max.

What I already tried, all with no effect:
- disabled Anti aliasing
- set anisotropic filtering to 1x
- Set lightning quality to low
- windowed mode

Can somebody please help me to find da soltution? Thanks in advance!

Try with official driver from notebook website. In others games it happen too?
Thanks for the suggestion, just tried that, but the issue persists.

Other games work normally.
Try Verify/repair from Galaxy...

pigulici: Try Verify/repair from Galaxy...
Also tried that, no effect.

I tried to change the G-Sync settings, also tried to force enable V-Sync with the NVIDIA control panel.

I think it is a specific graphics effect, maybe too many particles, that make the driver crash. In the windows event log, I see a warning that "nvlddmkm" crashed everytime I have a black screen in the game.

But I dont know how to proceed from here, because the error message does no say what caused the crash.

Aside to try with a older vga driver,until find one stable, I can't see what you can do more...
