Game Crashing

My game crashes during the intro movie, it plays for a few seconds, gets to the real-time rendering from the engine, and crashes shortly after. I just bought this game after buying and playing the second one. Really aching to get it going. ;)

Your PC Wizard report wasn`t complete but i did see a virtual drive which will need to be closed
Might also try in windowed mode to see if you can continue .
Also need to make sure you have the latest 2010 VC redistributables and the June 2010 DirectX
Links are not working correctly yet but if you move the cursor over the June 2010 and VC Red. they are a link and will be highlighted .

Hi. After looking at the Text report, I don't think you have the Graphics Card for it. I know it says minimum of Nividia 8800, but the 93xx card is somewhat less than that irregardless of th higher number. If you have the PSU ( should have 25a on the +12v rail: the minimum says 400w and 18a on the +12v rail, but that won't be enough ) then see if you can find an Nvidia 9800GT and install it.

That would be my onboard. It's not active, I have a geforce 250 running.

Virtual driver is unmounted, all DX and C++ Redistributables are updated, lowest settings, on windowed. The results?
The game eked out the intro video with lots of freezing, black screens, a few driver failures/recovers, and a CTD once it got to the gameplay at the end. I'm going to try to reinstall my drivers.

Odd thing is, I can go play Witcher 2, no problem on mid-detail.

EDIT: Still no avail. I did a CLEAN reinstall of my drivers. Still crashing. I'm not sure what's wrong with this game.

Interesting note as well, the updater for the game (I downloaded and ran the patcher for v1.5) will not detect which version I have. Which seems to be 1.4

@coastie65: this is the Witcher 1 subforum not Witcher 2, minimum specs are Geforce 6600 and the likes ;)

@mrtupins: you have version 1.4.5.1304 which is patch 1.5
disable Avast, stop all the running programs and retry
report the new errlog.txt if it crashes again

Still crashing after that advice. :/ Here's the errlog.txt.

Not sure why the errlog says I'm running XP either.

Is your card getting too hot or overclocking your card by a substantial amount ? My previous card was a GTS250 and got a few driver has stopped working and has recovered messages after which i cleaned the computer thoroughly did a clean install of the vid drivers and boosted the fan speed quite a bit using MSI afterburner or EVGA Precision works just as good . Might also check the seating of your card just to be safe .
