Witcher Crash and Increase Va fix
Hey all. I just want to say thank you for all of the advice and general help that went into this forum. I have been having the same problem as many here and my game crashes after about 30 minutes of game time. I am using Vista 32-bit Ultimate w/ Geforce 8800 GT, Intel Quadro Q6600 and MSI 650i Platinum Motherboard. All drivers are the latest.I have done the Increase VA fix. It fixed my problems with the game. I played for about 3 hours with no crashes. That was great! However, when I went back into Windows and it ran really slow. I restarted and it took a really long time for windows to start-up after Iogged in. I tried to revert back to the default value of 2048, but this did not help. I had to roll back and that fixed it. But now the game continues to crash, which is unfortunate since it was working.Allow me to vent. Isn't the whole idea behind "Games for Windows" is that games will run specifically for Windows. They are designed to run efficiently with these games. At least that is how they are marketed. So, messing aroung with registry and memory seems wrong. I don't mind doing it, as stated above, when the game works. But when it adversely affects how Windows operates then it doesn't work for me. Thank you for allowing me to get that out of the way. No my question is, is there anothe rway to get the game running consistently without having to do the Increase Va fix. A second question is, is this a software issue on Windows side or is it the game developer? Any help, or sympathy would be greatly appreciated.Thank.
