Couldn't you just roll back the driver update?

Just done so now. First time in ages I've had to do it but hoping this resolves it. Guess I'll go see if the drivers were indeed the cause.

The latest drivers seem to have got me out of a sticky spot...

I've been using the 347.88 drivers on a below spec graphics card (560ti 1GB) on a decent system otherwise without too many problems throughout the game, but my luck's run out at Kaer Morhen. It seems all the added effects and the amount of things going on in general took me over the line finally. I've just put on the latest drivers (353.06) and it's allowing me to play a minute at a time before crashing to desktop, which is at least means I can progress...fingers crossed.

Silly kids! New drivers are for GTX 980Ti!! /s

That is pretty bad tbh, one 980 SC can max all settings apart from shadows and foliage which are set to high at 60-70fps. Defo not ready for two cards it seems. Then again that is at 1920x1080 so you are at a higher res but that is mainly more vram isnt it?

tested it for you

980s ultra no HW
1080p 120fps
1440p 80fps

I installed the game and download Galaxy. Is there any way for gog to pick up this game? Thanks.

Okay, turns out it wasn't the drivers after all. Had three crashes since rolling them back in fairly quick succession.

Having had no previous issues whatsoever, and ruling out the drivers I am out of ideas.

Most likely part of the new DLC update. Scroll up and look to see if those 2 new .dll files in are your bin/x64 folder.

Galaxy updated and now i cant run the game through steam, i mean seriously these game breaking bugs

Matson · 3 Jun 2015 at 20:10

hmmmm Just started the game and sweet fx didn't load up... so I loaded up the sweet fx files again and it crashes as soon as the game starts. I can see others are having this same issue....has anyone found a fix? Not sure if I can play without sweet fx as I hate the original look.

EDIT. Nevermind I fixed it.

N19h7m4r3 · 3 Jun 2015 at 20:15

I've just noticed that I no longer have any ingame music....

This little DLC patch really has mucked things up.

The latest DLC patch added these two files in the bin/x64 folder
dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll

Remove those, and insert the SweetFX ones again.

Just started playing and every 30 secs or so I'm getting video pauses (music/voices keep playing), then it will be fine again for another 30 secs. Any suggestions?

Intel G3258, 280x, 8gb ram.

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Fingers crossed that seems to have worked.

Played for another hour or so after doing that without any issues at all. Looks like the problem is solved.

Finally finished it, took 107 hours in the end, did all the side stuff and explored everything. I'm glad they are still going to make more witcher games though as the world and lore are so interesting. Will definitely play this game again, although I think next year and I'll do Witcher 1, 2 and 3 in a row. Definitely one of the best RPG's in recent memory but the bugs and kinks, coupled with the poor performance from keplar Nvidia cards just left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth sometimes. Great game though, really loved it.

What is the "alternative look for Yennefer" DLC? I assume it makes her look different in some way, but can't find much on it.

Also the armor sets, do they need to be found? As a quest or recipe?

More witcher game? This ones the last one. Other than the DLC.

For Geralt, yeah, his story ends with the trilogy. They said ages ago the franchise won't end with this game, and then there was that leaked document last year that had plans for a 4th. The IP is too big to just scrap, it'll just get put on the back burner until they do other stuff like Cyberpunk 2077.

Sweet! More witcher sounds good.
