Non-Random Crash to Desktop
Hiya,
I posted on the steam boards about it, and it was suggested there that I try here for support, so here goes.
I Crash to Desktop when trying to enter the top floor of the Flotsam inn. Every time I try. This is preventing me from continuing the game. As far as I know, Sile is located in that top floor, and I need to talk to her to actually face off against the Kaylan, or whatever that beasty thing is called.
Things I've tried to solve this:
- Try to enter at varying times. Morning, noon or night, doesn't seem to affect it.
- Massively lower graphics settings. I usually play on Medium, since it looks pretty and my framerate never hiccups. Lowering the settings didn't help.
- I'm playing the Steam version of the game, and I did have to run the witcher with admin privileges straight from the .exe file to get it running the first time. Since then, I can start it up from Steam without issues though it still tries to install the "VC Microsoft redistrubutable" or something every time.
- Completing all the "pre-quests". I thought I might be trying to advance the quest too quickly, but having completed the mongoose potion and having a trap made for it, there's nothing else to do but challenge the beast.
I like your game. Despite the difficulty curve, despite having to tinker with admin privileges to get it working and even despite the occasional random crash to desktop, I still enjoy playing it. However, since this specific CtD isn't random but every time I try to enter that top floor of the Flotsam inn, I can't continue.
So what can I do?
