Cyberpunk doesn't won't to launch!

[Myron]

I cant play cyberpunk, it wont launch. When i firstly downloaded the game from steam it launched no problem, so i wanted to add some mods. I watched some tutorials, mods didn't work, wathever. I redownloaded the cyberpunk to get rid of those mods and thats it. When there is the section "press space to cointinue" it doesnt show the button, and when i press space it crashes. It also happens to witcher 3 i recently bought. But thats a diffrent story.
PLEASE HELP, a game so expensive that i cant even play!

0.) If the game is suddenly failing to launch, you may need to manually remove certain mods. If you simply reinstall the game through Steam, it will only affect the files and folders it knows about. Hence, uninstall completely, navigate manually to the game's installation folder, and delete whatever is left over. (Alternatively, you can ensure that all of the modded content is removed from the existing installation, but that might actually be more difficult.) I label this "0" as I don't think it's very likely. Most mods nowadays will install to separate folders.

1.) If what you mean is that you cannot load a saved game, then it's a different situation altogether. You'll likely need to begin a new game in order to play unless you have older save files that have not been modded. Once a game (any game) is saved with mods running, it will leave reference data from those mods in the save file. This data cannot be removed. The only options are to restore the mod library you were using or revert to a save file that does not include the offending reference data. That data now points to nothing -- the mods were removed.

So what, i have to remove my old save files from cyberpunk and start it all over again???

If you played with mods, you should consider your save as "modded" (no matter if you remove mods, mod data remains in save files). And so, if you try to load this save without mod, you will likely encounter issues and indeed, game crashes.
If you don't encounter issue/crash starting a new game and loading a save created on this new game, you have your answer.

But thats the thing, i cant even launch the game

Ok, so if you can't launch the game, you migth try to perform a clean-installation of the game (to be sure there is no remaining mod data in the game files)

But after that, if you can launch the game (I guess, a clean install will work), but still can't load your "old" save(s), it mean that these saves likely contain mod data which crash the game (sadly, there is no way to remove these data from save files...)

that was happening to me as well, I had to reinstall ver 2.0 (or what ever PL was at release) to get the game to launch. However in the past the two things that had worked was to be sure you update your graphics card AND to get rid of the json file completely out of your steam folders. I probably need to do that myself (the json file) but I just did not want to go thru the hassle again of rebuilding it with my edits from scratch for what will likely be my last play thru, at least for a while.

The game crash if you loas an "old" save? A save on which mods were active?
If yes, try to start a new game. Fly through character creation (it's just to test) and pick up nomad, just to be able to wandering around in the first little town.

If it's crashing at the launch of the game (from Windows), then you may want to install the Microsoft Redistributable All-in-One. Get and run the x86 version, then the x64 version.

If the game is crashing when trying to load a saved game, then it's still the situation we've addressed above.

Your crash error was Expression: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)

Are you using a 13/14th Gen Intel CPU?
If you are, I have bad news for you. Best RMA your CPU, but for the meantime you should adjust the following settings =
