[PC] Witcher 3 not starting

Hello folks,

Usually I don't have to resort to posting on tech forums but I'm truly and well stumped by this problem:

I run the Witcher 3 via Steam and when I click the 'play' button it indicates in steam itself that its 'running', this last a few seconds after which it flashes 'syncing' and then nothing happens. Watching taskmanager during this process doesn't show the game executing. Booting the game from the .exe in the steam folder gives me a oxc0000005 error that I've already googled but did not provide a specific fix.

I've already tried some basic troubleshooting such as:

- Verifying game cache
- Complete reinstall of the game
- Ensuring latest Nvidia drivers are installed

The game ran perfectly before this, went to dinner, came back to my still running pc and it borked somehow. Help?

@Dubya75 may be right. There's been two Steam client updates, I think, this week. One within the last 24 hours, and I got a similar error that definitely came from the Steam Client - I wasn't playing TW3, I was trying to run Civ 5. :(

It worked for me after a reboot.

(And a warning/reminder - if you do decide to reinstall Steam, remember that if you uninstall the existing one first, it will remove all local copies of games, so don't do that unless you have either a very fast internet connection or local backups)

First time for everything! I'll give the steam reinstall a try later.

Weird thing is that the steam update yesterday prompted a 'Steam cannot sync your savegames with the cloud' error the first time I booted the Witcher 3, now it just does its run/sync thing and give me the xc00005 error again.

Will update after I've given it a go.
 
That sounds as though there's a problem with the savegames in the cloud. I'm hesitant to recommend switching to local saves, as I'm not sure how it works (I've never done cloud saving in Steam), but if you're comfortable with that, it may be worth trying?
 
Incidentally, I've just seen a post in the TW2 forum reporting issues with Steam Cloud since the last client update (And yes, it was posted in the right place).
If this is something affecting multiple games, It'd be worth checking the Steam forums to see if they're discussing it.


Update: OK, quick point - there seems to have been a new "Family Sharing" feature enabled at Steam with the latest update - it may be related to that? I definitely suggest keeping an eye on the Steam forums to see if the solution/workround gets posted there.

Thanks Dragonbird, I've already tried turning off the cloud feature but that didn't work either.

I'm going to keep an eye on the steam forums and see maybe if that turns up a solution and post it here if its fixed. Thanks for the help so far. :)

I've read some posts that it could be malware causing the issue, maybe run a scanner to see if it picks anything up.

Some have mentioned doing a system restore to an earlier point in time fixes the issue.
 
Anti-virus and malware scan picked up nothing, there was also a new patch for the Witcher on steam but so far nothing. Complete reinstall also did nothing.
 
There was another Steam Client update a few hours ago, and it included two Cloud-related fixes. From the descriptions, it isn't certain that they WILL fix the problem a few people have had over the last few days, but it's definitely worth checking.
 
So a couple patches later, including a steam patch, we're no closer to a solution. I've seen more people with this problem removing and then reinstalling their VC++ from the game folder, but that didn't work for me. Another referred to a galaxy.dll but again, nothing.

Its getting a bit depressing! :(
 
Update: Lauching the game from steam or the .exe gives me a 1 split second black screen when executed as administrator. Its something!
 
Maybe the game starts at a configuration that is not supported or corrupted? Have you tried to delete the config files that's being generated on launch and let them regenerate? I think they're located in my documents folder, but don't quote me on that.
 
Tried that just now LoveGOG, but that didn't help either. Running the game without admin rights gives me the 0xc0000005 error still and now another steam game I bought yesterday(cities skylines) is doing the same thing(0xc0000005) after it worked fine for a whole day.

Did a memtest today, it gave me a few faults on a single RAM stick, so I replaced that but its still giving me the same errors.
 
You have verified the cache again, I assume, after fixing the RAM? If you had memory problems at the time of downloading, then the game version on disk could be corrupt. (Same with the other game).
 
Verified the cache before and after the RAM swap. Updating to win10 is not something I will try, its a business license of win7 so upgrading is not free for me.
 
I wouldn't recommend moving to Win 10 as a solution anyway. The game should run on Win 7.

This is a long-shot, but I see you're using Razer Diamondback? If you have any Razer software running in the background, can you try temporarily disabling it? I've seen at least one other report in the last week or so that turned out to be Razer-related.

(Also Logitech software if you're running already, but I gather that's just the keyboard, so probably not).

I'd also recommend you put in a support request direct to CDPR
http://en.cdprojektred.com/contact-support/

Although this is definitely also worth continuing to troubleshoot through the forums.

Final thought: Also check your Power Options and make sure it's set for Performance. I'm not sure if I read that part of the dxdiag correctly, but it looks as though it's set for something else.
