[WolfK92]

Hello folks,

after many years of a great running W3, theres now the time im really helpless.

System: Win 10 / RTX 2070 / i7-9700K

Witcher 3 GOTY by GoG Launcher

DxDiag added

Some days ago everythin runs great, i used some new mods and i have to realise something went wrong, a virus ore something else entered the completly system.

- Windows reset by myself everything is fine, just reinstall all new - but the Witcher dont let get started, its vanilla no mods nothig, Microsoft Visual C++2005 - 2022 installed, newest graphic card driver installed, no .dlls missing.

It just dont do anything

if i start the Desktop icon - Launcher get started and he trying to sync for 1/2 - 1 Sec an than its over. More of nothing....happening

i hope someone can help me out

EDIT: other Games i also reinstalled new run without Problems

You mean the launcher (GOG) can't launch the game or there is a problem with the launcher itself ?
At least, if it's not already done, take a look on all of these steps at first

I'm not sure if this might be helpful, but I had the exact same problem. GOG support told me to try installing the game inside a folder with a shorter path, say C:\GOG or C:\Games (instead of "Programs" or "Programs (x86)").
I installed the June 2010 DirectX Runtime Paket for good measure and that was it, game works perfectly!

i tried to update Net.framework
i installed DirectX 2010 June
Witcher 3 path is now: C:\Program Files (x86)\The Witcher 3\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY

still dont want to start

EDIT: at this moment i install it directly on C:

its already done 2 days ago

Ok another guess, but I suppose that you already check
Make sure that Windows Defender or any kind of AV doesn't interfer with the game nor prevent it to create new files in your AppData folder (it's a "fresh" install, so the game must create some files in your AppData folder).

 

[WolfK92]

No Anti Vir or other Installed, also not blocked by Windows Defender.

I really dont know what to do anymore, next step is i install cyberpunk 2077 if it works and the whitcher not, i have no bloody clue

EDIT: its now 18:21 in Berlin, Cyberpunk 2077 runs great, The Wither 3 not

Maybe there someone else have a idea for it:
A Picture from my Launcher

it says "Ooops something is wrong" and "apparently we couldn't connect to the service this time"
