Weird. I have been running TW maxed out at 1920 x 1200 since day one, and IIRC, I don't think I've had any crashes. I have had a couple of game freezes where the screen freezes and sometimes the sound will loop, but if I wait about 15-20 seconds, or Alt-Tab out and back (believe it or not), the game picks up right where it left off. These incidents have occurred about 4 times in 100 hrs of playtime, and I've never lost progress or had to back out of the game or reboot. Don't know if running SLi adds anything to the mix or not regarding crashes. I just updated to nVidia's latest drivers today, and they appear to be working fine as well.aenemic said:
I could grok the first part, that the devs might have mentioned the game is more stable at a certain resolution, but, there is simply NO WAY that it would be the "official word" that one shouldn't complain about crashes because they are using game resolutions actually programmed INTO THE GAME.stop speaking for the devs.it's rather obvious that if the devs thought that resolutions higher than 1024 by 768 were inherently unstable, they wouldn't have included higher ones in the game.moreover, I, like many others have played it at much higher resolutions than that with no crashes whatsoever. looks a helluva lot better too, especially if you aren't using anti-aliasing.
yes, I might have chosen the wrong words. but my point remains. try running the game at 1024x768 first and see if it helps with the crashes. if it does, and you still want to play on higher resolution, then you shoulnd't complain about the game being buggy.SirToejam said:
I'm playing The Witcher with Vista Home Premium 32bit and the load times have greatly improved (although I'd still like to disable autosave). When I first patched the game and fired it up I was initially disappointed because load times didn't seem any different. But that was just the game starting up, which for most games these days takes a while. Once I began playing and going from scene to scene, I did notice a huge difference. I should also point out that after I installed the patch I restarted playing The Witcher from the beginning. But as other people have noted, patch 1.2 should be compatible with your previous saves. I just did for fun, but maybe you should try this just in case. I'd be curious to hear if this helps.You certainly shouldn't have any issues with your system. Although, if you're using it as a server, you probably want to disable that while you're playing.spiritualist said:
Try to reinstall the original version first, then start the game once, make all of your desired settings if you want. Afterward, proceed to install the 1.2 patch. I used to get this weird error when trying to update from original version to the 1.2 one without any start. Just figured it out accidently, but I hope this to be of help.rmonro said:
The game is genuine with new v.1.2 patch and I have XP sp 2.Menicus I have the same problem game crashes on me after a few hours play usually after a mouse click. It has happened a few times when i hadnt saved ( thank god for autosave!) but usually i didnt have to go back too far other than that same as you the patch has made a huge difference.menicusgrm said:Greetings!
