Guys, are u having Windows 8 or you tried it on another OS (7/10)?

No luck with 10, tried the development kit for win 10 also, I do not get black screen and crash error anymore, but I see game using 1GB of ram and 20% CPU in task manager and it just sits there. No game window or anything.

Just tried out the game using it and it worked. Got through the initial cutscene. Although i played if from teamviewer. Still at work. Got to see performance on the game. Glad to see that it is not my rigs fault. Fix your god damn code CD

Unfortunately i have to back down from my assumption. Although the error doesnt occur the game is unplayable. 1 fps on a i7 3770k and a gtx 780 lightning.
RED Fix you DirectX wrappings for the love of god!!!

Thats it for me. Filed in a refund. Let down for a game that was pushed back mutiple times.

I've found out some info (on quite different site) that crash on start might be due to game not supporting graphic cards that are not compatible with DirectX 11.. As nothing else seems to solve my problem and nobody from cdprojectred nor gog.com is responding I guess the only way to find out is to change the graphic card itself.. So I will let you know after changing my Radeon HD4770 to GTX960 if that is the case.
You can check if your card supports dx11 by using dxdiag.exe and looking at Display tab for Drivers DDI Version..
Anyone out there that have older graphic card (not compatible with dx11) that has the game running?
Anyway I think the game should at least display meaningful info/error about not meeting the requirements and refuse to run instead of crashing silently..
There are probably many reasons for the startup crash but this one might be one of it.
Anyone from the RED team that could confirm that this is true?

Got confirmation from gog.com about not meeting the requirements for graphic card (http://en.cdprojektred.com/support/tw3-system-requirements/). Got a refund (store credit). This is the first game that I cannot play on my system.
Then I've decided to buy a new a graphic card so I bought the game once more with GTX960. After swapping the graphic card it runs perfectly... for about 25 mins then it gets killed by out of memory (6GB is not enough if you do not have swap turned on).. turned on swap... and everything works great! installed 1.03 patch - so far no issues..
Anyway make sure your graphic card is dx11 compatible - you can have dx11 system but not the dx11 compatible card.. weird..

Tried on Win 7 SP1 - unsuccessful.
I know about this trick for quite a while, since Watch Dogs, as i remember - it works only on Win 8.

Mine is compatible:

It's all so funny. That's the screenshot from my notebook with i3-2,3ghz, 8gb ram and integrated low GPU Intel HD4600. I got no dedicated GPU and IT WORKS. Something's wrong with this game.

WIN 7 x64

Updated to 1.03, still doesn't start.

I'm on 2500k with a 970. No OC. All drivers, directx, VC redist, .Net framework > Up to date.

Can't play. Great. :/

Crash logs are in the first 4 pages, people stopped adding them, because they all were same.EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (3221225477), is always the same, error writing location is different every single time even for one person,

For all of us, crash is black screen for less than a second and then the executable just closes.

Dear Marcin,
We would send tickets to support if they would pass!!!!
I don't even add an attachment to them and it says that the ticket is too heavy.
Therefore please send this post to your tech guys.

Here is the crashlog copied and pasted from a rig thats running win7 sp1, DX 11.1, i7 3770k, GTX 780 Lightning:

The error comes always from the same space of memory, and it is coming from a dx function. So the game is making it behave wrongly. There i just avoided hours of investigating. Put someone on it? Please?

Has anyone seen this russian post? He believes he has solved it using some sort of service pack for windows 8 and using a program called dxcpl.exe . Have a look and try it at your own risk. http://forum.igromania.ru/showpost.php?p=11834243&postcount=79

Tested it with GTS-250
Okay, first of all - it works. Game is running, at least.
Cons:
1) you need Win 8 + Windows SDK for Win 8, it contains DirectX SDK with dxcpl.exe (you dont need to install full package, just Windows Development Tools, smth like that, you can uncheck other options).
2) most likely you will suffer MAJOR fps lags, even after lowering all settings, tweaking user.settings file and adjusting NVidia/AMD panel settings.
Worth it trying? I say no. You can run game but you wont be able to play it anyway. So just calm down and save some money for graphic card upgrade.

Same issue for me:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (3221225477)
GTX 680M
32G RAM
Windows 7 Pro
I've spent a lot of time trying to work around this issue. No luck thus far...

strohaLm · May 22, 2015

I don't even get any error. When i try to start the game i see the loading cursor for some seconds, then NOTHING.

My system:
Intel i5-4670K
Powercolor Radeon HD 7950 PCS+
8 GB RAM
Windows 8.1
(All drivers up-to-date)

I tried all possible solutions i could find on ony website, but nothing helped so far.

HassassinZ · May 22, 2015

Reinstalled the game and it now starts, but now I have this problem: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/thre...-keeps-playing?p=1688403&posted=1#post1688403

It's work for me but it's like running on my Intel HD. Not on my 970. Strange....

luninja925 · May 22, 2015

Do it just like me. Cash in a refund on your retailer. But it in a couple of months during black friday. Hit them in the pocket. Maybe then they'll learn to release things better
