Today, I clicked play and it works. I didn't do anything but wait. I don't know, what sorcerry is this. :D

I was having similar issues with a fresh install of the regular version today. I fixed it by selecting Verify / Repair in GOG Galaxy. It seemed to install / update some C++ Distributables or something like that.

I cant start game becouse game need wolf school weapon and I dont know where to look for.


Please help

I also have the same problem and cannot launch the game from later patches, only from 1.12.1 or before. I am unable to play from this version to make it worse as i've hit a bug in the Sunstone quest and can't continue. Very frustrating!

Same problem here, fresh digital install, nothing starts, reinstalled 2 times and rechecked the install, still nothing working.
I've seen a lot of posts about patches installed in the wrong order ending with that kind of problems, how can we fix this with digital install ? Or fix the download and install order patches.
