sammoe: Such short memories some people when Steam was in it's infancy Valve launched Half Life 2 their servers were not ready for the number of users and people all around the world could not even start the game for days.

lonewolfgk: Hi mercurial_880, thanks for the reply, yes i am on latest nvidia drivers (353.06), i always make it a point to check every 2 weeks for drivers to keep my system up to date. I do not really like the NVIDIA experience (it is installed). Also i have read that the NVIDIA experience program can sometimes be problem in games, so i have tried with NVIDIA experience and without it (i uninstalled it) and still the same problem on v1.05. Did not have problems on v1.03 and v1.04. But like i said i downloaded v1.06 and will give it a try today and see if i have problems with the new patch. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
Forgot to mention i run the GOG version, not steam and also i do not have galaxy on my machine, so no clients running in background. Also for info, i removed my antivirus like 3 months ago for another reason due to networking issue (was not the antivirus fault but was lazy to reinstall it, lol) so i have no antivirus on the gaming rig at the moment and cannot be the cause for that as well (just in case anybody thought of antivirus causing problems, lol). All other games like GTA V, Assassins Creed Unity and Rogue, even Dragon Age Inquisition runs fine without crashes. All my drivers up to date, full DirextX installed, vcc ++ drivers, motherboard drivers etc. Just the witcher 3 and only after v1.05 patch. Will try the v1.06 today.
Just more info, sometimes i can play witcher 3 for hours (like 5 hours) no problem and then other times it crashes continuesly like every 15-30min and especially when cutscenes come up (cutscenes was fine in v1.03 and v1.04).

mercurial_880: That's weird, i have 12 Gigs of RAM a GTX 760, my W3 has not even crashed once, in fact i always have my browser opened in the background. I have not encountered any issues with either the client or the game. Did you try updating your Nvidia Drivers?

Congratulation on a great game and a good client. It still not perfect but it's getting there. :D

Keep up the good work!!

rjb3353: Hi guess my post was not that clear, I only experienced crashes when I had taken out 6GB of the ram to test an loder MB. When I realized that I had forgotten to put it back in I did so and since running with 12BG I have not had any crashing issues. Early on I tried doing an old fashioned install by just downloading the files, but I could never get it to even launch. I then deleated everything and installed Galaxy and let it instal Witcher and then everything worked fine. The only thing I can think of is perhaps one of the updates did not install correctly, have you tried deleting Witcher 3 and having it reinstalled? Since I have had all of my memory back in my PC I have not had any crhasing issues at all, well I take that back I did have some idiot program still running in the back ground and it decided that it wanted to do an update and when Witcher was minimalized I could not get it to run corrrectly so I killed the process and restarted it.

rjb3353: Hi PaX11,
Not sure what your system specs are however heres what happened to me when I first began playing Witcher3. I have an older sytem built back in the early spring of 2009, my current specs are as follows, MSI Big Bang X58 MB, i7 970 CPU, 12GB of DDR3ram, and a Geforce GTX 970 GPU. However when I first started playing Witcher I had forgotten that I had pulled 6GB of my system ram (the minimum specs for Witcher 3 is 6GB) to test my first X58 EVGA MB to see if I wanted to build up another system with my old 920 CPU (I had bought the MSI board and the 970 used off of Ebay a couple of years ago) Well I had the bare minimum of system ram but was used to having all sorts of things open and running, like my web browser etc. I too at first thought that Witcer 3 was broken because I was experiencing frequent crashes to the desktop. As I began trying to figure out what was going on it dawned on me that I was not operating with 12GB of ram but only 6 so I shut down my system and put the other 6GBs back in and since doing that I have not had any crashes to the desktop. I am certain that there were times when the game was making memory calls that were more demanding and since it was not available the game crashed. Not sure if this may be of any help but all I know was that now with my 12GB of ram the game runs smoothly and I have the settings cranked up to ultra settings with the Nvidia hair turned on and my system is able to run the game at 48FPS, if I use the settings that GeForce experience recommends there are a couple of things at high settings and the Nvidia hair setting is turned off and I get 60FPS. If you have a system that is closer to the minimum specs then make sure that you do not have any other programs running when playing Witcher 3.

Cavenagh: people who download pirated GOG version of TW3, all they have to do is register with gog.com, download galaxy, and import thier pirated game into it.

Pheace: Certainly wasn't the case when I installed Omerta Gold edition with Galaxy yesterday. Had to go to More -> Backup/extra's to find the 'Japanese Incentive' DLC and download install it manually. Luckily it was a DLC I knew I was missing when I started the game or I could've been halfway already before realizing it.

paladin181: Great news... That means there's only around 1 million PC gamers who bought The Witcher 3 (1.4 million at absolute most) and yet they sold over 4 million copies. That means that the PC market is JUST as viable as the console market if we look at those numbers. We'll estimate 1.2 million here, that leaves 3.8 to split between Sony and Microsoft. (1.9 million each if it's dead equal, 1.8 each if PC got the 1.4) meaning that the PC market is not nearly so insignificant as the console fanboys would like to believe. This is great news for us, especially those who patronize GoG because in this case, GoG got the lion's share. Meaning AAA releases can be successful if released on GoG as long as they're good quality games, people WILL buy them. I'm sure the game has been pirated many MANY times, but then, those people weren't ever going to buy it anyway.
Unfortunately so many large companies get caught up that piracy is lost sales and that DRM free encourages piracy, and that 4 million copies of a game is market failure these days (look at Tomb Raider) so... oh well. Maybe sooner or later they'll realize DRM only hurts the paying fanbase.

SirPrimalform: Apologies if you didn't write this, but I can't work out where you're quoting from and it looks kind of like you put your reply inside the quote for some reason.

Either way, that statement is false. You can't import a game into Galaxy if you don't have it on your GOG account. The option to import the game requires you to find it in your library and click "import folder".
SirPrimalform: Appears that GOG hasn't implemented it for all games yet - but it is as DCT described, at least for some games in my experience but I can't remember which.

mercurial_880: Edit 1: I initially played with just 6 GB (4 + 2) of RAM and installed it via the downloaded files from the website. I then added a new stick after 2 weeks of gaming to 12GB (8 + 4). I didn't notice much difference except a more smoother overall experience and better multi tasking.

Cavenagh: I had a few drinks that nifght, thanks for putting me stright on the matter.

all the best

PS How do you 'snip' posts, when I remove my comments from a replay, it won't post, please help an old man out, it's a pain having to re post a wall of text.

SirPrimalform: So what you need to do is remove your quote and the {quote_xx} immediately before and the {/quote} immediately after and leave the outside quote tags (because they're the ones for the post you're replying to). I did that while making this post. If it won't let you post then the formatting is broken somehow (usually mismatched number of quote opening and quote closing tags). Hope that helps.
