Witcher 1 Crash after saving

[Draroth]

Hello,
so i have the game on GOG, and everytime a try to save in game via quick save or manual, it crashes with no information i just land on the desktop.
Running on Windows 10.

I tried a couple of things i found what ppl said on other sites what could help but non of it help,
one thing was to give the game and save file folder permission for everyone, than changing the compatibility settings to other windows version and also running as admin but did nothing.
also uncheck the cloud save option, but did also nothing

Than i tried telling my avast antivirus that it should make exeptions for the game, cause thats also someone said that might be the problem that the antivirus can block it to right on the pc, but did nothing,
also tried to fresh install it and still cant get it to work.

so has some here any other tip i could try?

Best regards.

Did you try to run the game in compatibility mode?

Verifying the game cache is another thing you could try:

Setting save file folder permission to everyone is usually a good idea, yes. Maybe doing the same for the main game folder can help too.

Did saving the game ever work? If yes, it’s also possible that you have too many save games and need to remove a few of them...

Hello,
yes tried compatibility mode, did nothing,
Verifying was also something that i found i could try but also nothing,
did gave both folder permission.

The last time i played the game was 2016 were it worked fine but i also had a diffrent/weaker PC back then,
and now were i wanted to revisit it, it didnt work ever from the start on, i even cleard all save files i had and than did a fresh install again but it wont work.

In what folder did you install the game? Did you use the standard folder or did you install it somewhere else. In some cases the location of the game on your harddrive can cause problems too.

is the Game folder what is insinde of the GoG Galaxy Folder the standard folder? if so then i guess i could try to install it somewhere else.
