Galaxy version hanging at first splash screen
Hi there, last night I tried to boot up TW3 for the first time in about a week. It hung on the very first splash screen, the one with legal stuff in a golden/brownish colour on a black background. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling graphics drivers, also tried verifying/repairing through galaxy. But each time it hung at that same screen and when I alt-tabbed out, it had changed my desktop resolution from 4K to 2560x1440 (which is the res I run the game at).
Today, I tried uninstalling galaxy and then run the game from without it. That worked (and all my other galaxy games work on galaxy), so I reinstalled galaxy and had the same issue arise again. Now I've uninstalled Galaxy (not an achievement hunter and the verify/repair function and game time counters are only useful if I can play the game) but the game shows the same issue galaxy was having.
Do I need to reinstall the game?
It hasn't generated any crash reports so I can't upload that.
Spec's
i7 4790K
16GB RAM
2x GTX 980 Ti
SSD
Samsung 4K monitor - run windows in 4k but scale down for TW3 to 2560x1440
latest windows 10 and nvidia drivers.
All other clients work with their games - Origin loaded and played DA:I and DA:O, Steam loaded and played Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of Mordor.
Galaxy also successfully loaded and played the Wolf Among Us and Pillars of Eternity.
So I'm left to assume the problem is with the Witcher, but just not sure if there is any way around it that isn't the 'nuclear' option of reinstalling the whole game.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
