Difficult to tell. Need more information about what "unable to start" means.
I finished the 1st playthrough at level 40 did everything 100% (second hardest difficulty).
Second playthrough I only did as many quests as to get the best griffin gear, since I knew those were the only difference.
Since I already did everything and did not see any point on doing the very same things again (for more than 100 hours) I thought I will only be leveling.
First I started with drowners under water about 30 xp I think each.
Then on skellige Isle, where the cyclops is at the mountain top, on each side of that area there are groups of harpies, killing 7 of them gave about 250 xp.
Meditate 1 hour they are there again. I leveled to 50 using this.
Then I killed the lvl 60 cyclops a few times but took too long, so started killing Basilisk ( level 62 I think) near Destroyed Bastion.
With this I gained 5 more levels. After that they did not give any more xp than 20, so I tried out the Path of Power xp bug in the game, which helps you gain 1 level in 5 minutes
Thanks! I finished my first playthrough at Level 36. Haven't finished all the side quests though. I dislike playing Gwent and some of the quests bugged out on me. I'll definitely try your approach.I finished the 1st playthrough at level 40 did everything 100% (second hardest difficulty).

I can use online guides now to target 100% completion. I never use guides during my first playthrough on any game to not spoil the fun.
Cheers!
I don't care about gwent either, never did care about card minigames. Had about 4-5 bugged missions too, which I finished in NG+.
With max igni build (100% burn ) and best griffin set, you can easily kill enemies that are much higher level and not immune.
No point in redoing game, since nothing actually changed, had the best ending, have max level gear and over 100k money.

Do you have 1.08.2 installed? If so, you should immediately get a message when you start up your save that you can do NG+. Then save. Then start new game.

Hmmmm....
1) Make sure Version is 1.08.2 and the DLC is installed.
2) Load your (completed) savegame. You should get a message box then.
3) Save the Game
4) Start new game. There should be a final question if you want to play NG+ then.
no, it still tells 1.08

Another Question:
Does "New Game +" show up in game under installed DLCs?
Try loading save, then resaving and using that save.Solved I hadn't activated NG+ as part of the DLC's, the game was up to date but I had to configure from the COG Galaxy app to run NG+........ and now my current game is apparently not completed! Which I think is down to the bug in the "Nameless" quest
It might be because of the update but I often have finishers not working properly, people touching their throats instead of Geralt performing an execution. Before I updated the game and downloaded NW+ this only occurred sometimes when I was using whirling but now it happens like every second time when it's supposed to trigger a finisher... Very annoying, since I really like those animations...
Has anyone made a similar experience?
EDIT: I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the removed slow walk, which is just as annoying, they really oughta give us an option to enable it again

I've read this several times now... but didn't encouter it by myself (or just didn't notice).
Maybe another "console only" bug... or i'm just blind (which could be the case).
Thanks for your reply.
If it's been mentioned several times already, lets hope it catches CDPR attention and they fix it with the next patch.
Relieved I'm not the only struggling with this.
I never would've installed the patch in the first place if I didn't need it for NW+
Sadly bugs within DLCs get somehow neglected for consoles (skelliges most wanted).
For PC there is a fixed version available for weeks now.
My guess is, it's got something to do with the patch policy of MS/Sony.
If a developer has to pay for every new version on their servers, they are less eager to upload "minor" changes.
But like i said, that's only my guess... i don't know much about consoles
You seem to know more than me in that regard.Sadly bugs within DLCs get somehow neglected for consoles (skelliges most wanted).

It wouldn't be that big of a problem, I could simply the delete the patch and re-install the game and play with the savegame I made before updating. I play NW+ mostly to capture every cutscene while wearing my full Nilfgaardian armor.
But I fear the upcoming expansions will require the patch, or rather a later one, too.
First: I don't want to start another PC vs. Consoles war here, both have their advantages.
This said, the last "console" i owned was this one:
yes, i'm THAT old
The problem is, trying to put exactly the same game on different platforms.
Noone benefits from it.
Some will have less performance, some less graphical candy, noone the perfect GUI.
Sadly, developing games for every platform from scratch won't happen...
Manpower is expensive and time is money.
So we have to "share" those ports in the future.
Sometimes the consoles are better off.... other times the PCs.
