TW2 EE Not Starting

I downloaded TW2 EE from gog yesterday, disabled kaspersky, installed TW2 EE. Double click shortcut on desktop that launches Launcher.exe. Set Resolution to 1920x1080 even tho I play at 2048x1152. Set config spec to low. Would play on high normally. I've tried all settings.... The wolf head just appears and never goes away after I click 'Launch Game'. I've re installed many times, and the wolf head just sits there.. the game never starts.

WinXP SP3
Latest DirectX
12.3 ATI driver.

Do I have to patch the game? I've tried but getting errors. Why is this game not starting?

Same happens to me - I think it may be some bogus settings in the config files...

BTW, I played well into Chapter 2 - I think I was about at patch 1.2, maybe 1.35 - game worked, but now the wolfhad grins at me but nothing else happens...

None of that applies to me, no toolbars, disabling virus-check does not help, etc.etc... (Thanks though ;) )

This thread is for you in this case, please read the first post. (I think you've mistaken it for http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/26411-additional-fixes-for-21-and-tw2ee-issues-and-142-error-or-witcher-2-stopped-working/)

There is some FUNKY javascript in this fast reply.. it KEEPS DELETING MY TEXT. using chrome.. I'm typing this is notepad cause I can't trust the fast reply...

[Solution]
Anyways.. Short answer... The link JackM posted to replace the witcher2.exe and the dll works. It only works if I launch witcher2.exe. It gives me an error if I launch from the shortcut witch lainches launcher.exe. The error I get is the general windows error.... the application has encounted a problem and needs to close.. we are sorrt fo he inconvenience.

Just scroll down to where you see the post box below fast reply and click it which will bring up the full editor where you can post links , media and attach files .

My general thinking is that the launcher is looking for the witcher2exe that`s supposed to be where the modified one is and can`t find it hence the error .

For any that have used the "fix" .
Does using the "fix" allow posting to the Arena board ?

Thanks - the modified Withcer2.exe with the old dll actually works - now I only drop out of the game occasionally... So I'll try to disable some of the grfics options...

Thanks and Cheers,
