I have had nothing but problems with this site and trying to play ONE, single game. Initially, I couldn't install the game because the download kept ending before it was done. After finally getting the game installed I now can't launch the game either by directly going to the executable or by launching GoG Galaxy.

When I try to launch Galaxy I get an application error, "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Clock OK to close the application."

When I try to launch with the witcher3.exe file I get a system error, "The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I have added the .dll file to my system folder but it didn't do anything. I have this installed on a data drive that is separate from my OS drive. I have tried reinstalling GOG Galaxy several times but get the same result each time. Can someone please point me to a possible resolution to this?

Wish GOG worked as well as Steam. This is a pretty awful experience and it's making me regret purchasing my 970 video card that came with this game because I had no idea it would force me to use this site. Oh, and sorry for posting this here but there doesn't seem to be a proper support forum, either.

/Download and install Visual C++ Redistributable 2012, both 64 and 32 bit versions for sure.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried installing it but it was already installed. I tried the repair option but it didn't change anything with the original issue.


*edit*

I spoke too soon. It didn't resolve the Galaxy issue but I was able to launch the game directly with the witcher3.exe. Since I don't plan on using this service any more than is necessary I guess I don't need the launcher anyway.

In any event thanks for the info!

There are some problems with VC redistributables. Try uninstalling them from control panel and installing again, 32bit first and 64 after that. That's ok then. Glad to be of help : )
