Hi there, I've been having a lot of trouble with this game. Can't get past the load screen without a complete system crash; it shuts down the whole computer, waits about 3 seconds and restarts. I think I've tried just about everything listed previously in this forum and still to no avail. I don't get a error log report and I did run PCWizard 2008 and will include that file. I re-installed it once and previous to that I had the EE pack installed and I get the same result as with the original install. I did have this game on a Pentium 4 3.06 system with 2gb of ram and a EVGA 7800GS OC video card and it ran ok, but the system worked hard to make the game look great, but none the less it still ran the game. Now, I have a cutting edge system and it doesn't run it at all. I have a 965 Extreme i7 in a Rampage II Extreme mobo with a GTX295 graphics card, 6gb of ram all run by Vista Premium 64-bit. Windows update tells me that i don't need the hotfix and when I try to install it any way, it won't allow me. I'm really frustrated and can't seem to find anything that will cure this problem that my system is having. Please help me out, I don't want to uninstall and forget this game because I really enjoyed it when it worked on my last system. :wall:

It seems that the patch I used wasn't the good one (I had to replace some files by others...).I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and fixed it with the good one (found in the FAQ). But the problem is still here. I joined the errlog.txt it may help.

To anyone that re install their video drivers.... ALWAYS use the proper procedure which is :Video card removal and installation the RIGHT wayThis step is very important. Lots of problems come from video driver not installed properly. You may think that installing your video driver is simply downloading it and installing it over the old one. Well this is one of the major mistake!! So follow this and you should not have many problems. 1. You need to download a couple of things: i. Video driver Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us ii. ATI: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html iii. If you own a laptop, display drivers don't get updated or are updated way too late. Good news, you can find a third party driver for your card. iv. OMEGA http://www.omegadrivers.net/ v. Laptop Video To Go Website http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ vi. Nvidia Laptop drivers site http://www.ngohq.com/ 2. Driver Sweeper i. Driver Sweeper http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)_d1655.html#download 3. Head into control panel > add remove programs and select your Nvidia or ATI display drivers and remove them 4. Restart into safe mode - to get into safe mode keep pressing F8 while your machine is booting 5. Once in safe mode run driver sweeper, and clean using ATI or Nvidia setting depending on what card you have (don't remove Nvidia chipset as you may lose your internet connection and cause other problems) 6. Restart into normal mode once cleaning is finished 7. If the “new device found” start, press cancel as soon as you can. 8. Install your new drivers and restart after installation completes 9. Enjoy your fresh new video card driversLicaonKter said:
Go directly in C:\Program Files\The Witcher Enhanced Edition\System Folder and start the game with the file witcher.exe.right click on it, set it to compatibility mode, be sure to put a check beside Disable Theme, get out of it, right click on it again and run as admin... Look if there is again an error message and if it is different... Also, did you went on Tages website to update your tages driver ?NathielEct said:
Even by launching the game with witcher.exe there is the same problem.I properly install the drivers, and the Tages drivers are updated.I must say that it makes me crazy T_TMobidoy said:
Hi again, I updated everything you mentioned and then I installed the EAX hotfix, all of the EE upgrades, set the exe to run as admin, disabled themes, put UAC in quiet mode and it still shut me down once I saw the Atari trademark at the very beginning of the game launch. :wall:
In Vista, there is a memory test... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/test-your-computers-memory-using-windows-vista-memory-diagnostic-toolFollow the instruction there and let us know the result.Settinonmyass said:
Thanks for reply, I ran the test and there are no problems or errors. I did run the adventure editor and the game started in a window, I got excited thinking that the game was fixed but I couldn't get a new game to start. After I tried to start the game from the dvd, it crashed again and shut everything down like it had before. About three seconds later the computer rebooted. Thought we had it fixed, but maybe the next idea will be the cure... Any more ideas ? :'(
