Since i've started to play the witcher 3 or better said my first game on gog galaxy i've run into multiple problems, bugs et cetera. Though 1 or 2 bugs i was able to get rid off since the last update i can't run the witcher 3 over my steam client because it keeps crashing whenever the game starts (i use the steam client to take screenshots).

Now to make it more stable i run the witcher3.exe as administrator and over steam but now theres no steam overlay and i can't take any screenshots anymore.

1. Problem is the steam overlay doesn't work when i run the game as administrator and without running it as administrator the game does crash immediately.

2. Problem is that since i run the game as administrator it shows me the following error twice in a row before the game starts: please check the attachment below.

Translated it's like:

witcher3.exe - No Medium
There is no medium in the device. Please insert a medium into the device \Device\Harddisk2\DR2.

3. Problem is that the game always starts in borderless window.

Anyone got a solution for these problems?
Greetings

Reading about all these problems with Steam and/or Galaxy - why?
Getting a game at GOG does not need anything else, just install & enjoy.

Personally I kind of hate any program that would get inbetween my machine and the game.

Sorry, this does not fix your problems (in a way it does) - just had been curious...
What steam? TW3 is DRM-free.. I just run TheWitcher3.exe and haven't seen any issues whatsoever.
There was a mini update that stops W3 to work with third party software (recording, steam, whatever). Just wait for a fix or try the solutions in the Sticky Thread (I wrote that sentence 10 times now, why does everyone need to open a new thread..)

About your second problem, if the game does not save your settings, check if the files (documents/witcher 3) are writing protected or something like that. Maybe read all the sticky threads in this forum.

One of them mentions this:

Q:. Graphics settings seem to reset every time I start the game.
A.: Geforce Experience automatically optimizes your game upon start, try disabling it for TW3.
