I just bought this game a few hours ago, and never knew about the crash bugs that it has. From the time of installation the game crashes upon start each time. I downloaded the 1.3 patch and even with that it will no start the game. I also ran the command prompt that seems to work for most people and turned off the Vista Aero interface when I play the game. It will not get past the message "The Witcher has stopped working" and Microsoft does not find a solution to the problem when it searches online for a fix. This is the first game I have bought for my new PC, and I am excited to play it, but am becoming very let down thus far. Please Help!!

Have you tried updating DirectX and your video card drivers to the latest versions? Bioshock was crashing on me in DX10 mode initially, but updating my DirectX drivers got it running solidly. This is on a computer I just bought two weeks ago.
The Witcher ran on a p4 3ghz, and a gf6800 256 and 2gb ram. It is not very demanding... as mentioned above try updating your drivers, its only the witcher that crashes right?

No luck guys. I downloaded the latest DirectX version update and also brand new ATI drivers released today. It does not run with old or new drivers. I just get "The Witcher stopped working" APPCRASH
Are you using the Catalyst drivers from ATI or the Omega drivers? Not sure if that would fix it...but I've found the Omega drivers to be more stable than the official Catalyst ones.
that sucks, sorry to hear you are having problems. For what it's worth, if you like good stories and RPGs and beautiful art, then the game is definitively worth the effort it takes to get it to run.
[QUOTE="astor47"]It's Vista, I had dual boot between XP and Vista, everytime I tried to play in Vista it crashed every moment, in XP nothing of that happened.Lilgunney612
no problems in vista here, plays smooth as butter. Also the game is under the "games for windows" thing i think, so its made with vista in mind.
They must have fixed it, because I played it a long time ago.
