Good Morning Everyone,
First post on this forum & If I'm not in the right place Mods please move my thread to the appropriate forum.
Since the next gen patch came out I decided I wanted to replay the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. At the time I only owned the Game of the Year Edition on disc. On 2/28 I installed the GOTY Edition on my Series X Console. During the installation process it downloaded the latest patch version 4.0.1. Unfortunately, every time I go to start a new game or load an existing save, the game will freeze & takes me to the XBOX home screen. Since I read online old saves from GTOY are not compatible with other versions of the game I stopped trying to load old saves. But I can’t even start a new game without the issue above. During the opening cut scene, the loading icon will stop & a few seconds later it takes me to the XBOX home screen.
On 3/1 I uninstalled the GOTY Edition & bought a digital copy of the Complete Edition directly from XBOX in the MS Store. But unfortunately, I still can’t get this version to start either. Same issue as above keeps happening. During the opening cut scene, the loading icon will stop & a few seconds later it takes me to the XBOX home screen.
Following the suggestions of XBOX Support, I have done the following. Have uninstalled & reinstalled this game too many times to count. Have also cleared my persistent storage multiple times. Have removed & reinstalled my XBOX account. Have also tried playing this game on a new profile I added yesterday. Have reset my whole console & deleted everything & the issue still persists. The game always freezes during the opening cut scene. The loading icon will stops & seconds later I’m on my home screen. Also yesterday I decided to try to run this game on my ancient 1st generation XBOX One console & it actually started. But I can’t get it to work at all on my fairly new Series X console.
Thanks,
Bill
Just got off the phone with XBOX Support whom told me to submit a report using the Report a Problem app. They think the problem is with the game not my console. Since this game works on my old XBOX I not sure if they're right or wrong.
