What is your hardware and operating system / drivers? That can be useful for any kind of troubleshooting.

You can try the registry fix . Follow the link and click witcher 2 then scroll down to #26 and download and run the fix but pay special attention to the path .

Hello!! Thanks for answering my post i thought no one will answer me really. Well i have try the registry link and check the path. Just one question is it just in the witcher 2 folfer or in the bin folder fo witcher 2? I putter in witcher 2 folder but nothing happened. My system specs are as follows. I check myself if my computer could run it but maybe i miss something

Just make sure that Witcher 2 is the last entry .
For example if you have Steam installed to the default location it would be this for your path
C:\Program Files (X86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Witcher 2

 

[Sler79]

Well I install the registry at this path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\the witcher 2\Program Files (x86)
It didnt solve the problem i still have the same issue.
Just one question does the name of the file does affect at all ? Cause i had one game that they ask me to change the name of the file. Meaning changing the witcher 2 to Witcher 2.

 

[tommy5761]

Did you rerun the registry installer to include the correct path ?
C:\Program Files(X86)\Steam\steamapps\common\the witcher 2
You can also try the backup copy from GOG using your Steam key . http://www.gog.com/witcher/backup

 

[Sler79]

Hello. Well i did that and now i did enter the correct path and nothing change. I will like to use the backup copy from GOG using my steam key. I think that could help me in this situation. Maybe as a last resort really. The problem is that they have disabled the cd keys for the weekend for the weekend trial, I was wondering if you could help to get my cd key and then redeem it.

 

[tommy5761]

I don`t have access to my Steam key either . I guess it should be available later today or tomorrow . Going to the witcher 2 exe won`t do any good either as it just kicks you back to the launcher .

 

[Sler79]

Exactly, well i guess ill wait until the cd keys are available. Then i will tell you if i have any news about it. I really hope to play this game looks really good.

 

[tommy5761]

Did you try running both Steam and The witcher 2 as admin ?
To run Steam as admin . Exit Steam then from the Start button click all programs and scroll to Steam and expand then right click the Steam icon and select run as admin . Once done and Steam starts then open Steam\steamapps\common\the witcher 2\bin and find the witcher 2 exe and right click and run as admin .

 

[Sler79]

Yeah that is one of the first things i did. even i set both (Steam and witcher 2 .exe) as always to run as admin and basically nothing happened. Im really waiting for the GOG backup to see if that helps. I have looked for all the little fixes and nothing.Thak you for the help really i appreciate it

 

[tommy5761]

OK the cd-keys are available through Steam again .

 

[Sler79]

Well i downloaded the gog backup version and it didnt work at all either. So i guess my computer is the problem and i dont have any idea how to solve the problem or even find out what is the problem. If you have any ideas to find out i would really appreciate it. But i have to admit i feel i have reach a dead end.

 

[tommy5761]

What happens when you tried the GOG version ? Did you let it verify the files before installing ?

 

[Sler79]

Ahhh no i didnt verify the files. I thought i didnt have to do that. Well i just install it from the backup and run it as administrator but i didnt verify the files. What do i need to do?

 

[Sler79]

The issue i have is the same looping problem that i launch the game and it goes back to the menu. When i run the witcher 2 exe the game doesnt run at all

 

[tommy5761]

When you start the GOG installer it should go through a verification process . That`s to ensure that you have all necessary files before it installs the game . If any files are missing it will notify you of missing files . Also if if you want to then take screenshots of your installed programs and email them to me . It`s possible that you might have some software that is keeping the game from running .

 

[Sler79]

Well it didnt mention any files weere missing during the installation progress. I made sure i was able to get all the files from GOG website. Of course i can send you a screenshot of my programs. I have a lot of unused programs so maybe one of those could stop it from running. I wouldn't be surpsrised cause this is the second game i have an issue like this.

 

[Sler79]

I will send you 5 images showing all the programs i have installed currently, just check your spam or inbox folder. Waiting for your reply and any suggestion to make this game. Thank you so much for the help
