Okay.....Im so sick of this. GOG support has been horrible, blunt, and non-helpful to an absolutely insane degree.

A few days ago i purchased Witcher I- Enhanced Edition from GOG.com. it doesnt work. It simply gives a minimum system requirements not met message. On both my high end gaming Lenovo Y50 Laptop, AND my High end gaming PC.

I7-4700 HQ Quad Core 2.4GHz Processor
8GB DDR3 2400 MHz RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 860m 2GB Graphics Ram.

^ Laptop.

Both of these are far and away above minimum system requirements. GOG support has REPEATEDLY given me a fix(that i told them DOES NOT WORK) to go into the folder where i installed The Witcher I - Enhanced Edition, and make a shortcut of the Launcher, then head into properties and inside the starting line, add -dontForceMinReqs.

I have done this. It does not work. Ever. I have tried re-installing. I have tried re-downloading the installer and then re-installing. I have tried this fix AFTER doing these things. Both individually AND grouped. The fix to use -dontForceMinReqs to turn off the Minimum System Requirements not set error DOES NOT WORK.

And so i turn to you forum. Since GOG support has refused to help, and is feeding me this message : "Hello

Please make sure that you are adding the "-dontForceMinReqs" to the correct file, it ill not work with the default shortcut.

Please go to the game's directory (default: C:\GOG Games\The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director's Cut), open the "System" folder, here you will find the "witcher.exe" file, right click it and select to Create shortcut.
Right click the newly created shortcut, select Properties, add the -dontForceMinReqs parameter to the Target field.
Example the Target field:
"C:\GOG Games\The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director's Cut\System\witcher.exe" -dontForceMinReqs"

repeatedly and unhelpfully, regardless of the fact i have informed them that i have already done and tried this, i have decided that they apparently don't know what they are doing.

They also expect someone to sacrifice HD textures to play a game they payed for when their PC can not only RUN HD textures, they excel at it. I dont buy games to sacrifice HD. Im not going to sacrifice high resolution textures for a game i payed for. Especially not when there was no message that a fix was needed or it was needed to sacrifice these textures in the first place.

I feel lied too. Cheated. And ripped off.

And again i say i now turn to you forum. I need your help. If anyone has this problem and the fix to include -dontForceMinReqs has not been working for you, please share how you fixed the problem. This is completely and utterly ridiculous.

So please. Please share an ACTUAL, WORKING FIX. Because -dontForceMinReqs is not working.

Thank you.

Hello. Have you tried restarting your computer? Also, see http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+-dontForceMinReqs+correctly

That's just a joke ^. But on a serious note the web seems to have only that one solution for the problem. So if you're doing everything properly then we'd have to make up a new one since CDPR is done with patching. :P

I recall an issue with GTA 4 about not being able to handle 2GB+ memory. https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200145206-Issues-with-GTA-IV-showing-video-cards-with-over-2GB-as-under-spec

That might be a possible solution since the problem is with the game and the limitations of its software/engine.

Excuse me if that seems rude but can you attach a screen capture of the change to the shortcut you made?
Warning: There is no problem running it on my system.

Sure, how do i add attachments here? Ive never used this site before a few days ago and this is my first time using these forums.

What is your operating system? Are you using a 64 bit or 32 bit version?

Here is an alternative to the -dontforce... solution:

http://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher/fix_minimum_requirements_not_met_on_win7_x64/post1 When you place a new post there is an "attach image" button in the bottom left.

Here is what you need to do, follow the instructions in the link below under the section "How do I create Optimus settings for a new program?" for the C:\GOG Games\The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director's Cut\System\witcher.exe file and select High-Performance Nvidia Processor for it. All this has to be done in the Nvidia Control Panel program in Advanced view as shown in the guide.

I hope this helps to resolve your issue, let me know if you have any questions.

EDIT: My bad forgot to put the actual link there, should work now. :)

The link is broken.

Currently i simply make a new folder under C:/Users/SYSADMIN/Desktop and then i name the Folder Witcher I - Enhanced Edition. I then run the installer, Switch the target installation location to C:/Users/SYSADMIN/Desktop/Witcher I - Enhanced Edition. Then run the installer. After its installed I get the files fine. At this point, i try the fix. I make a shortcut of the file named "launcher"(there is no file named Witcher.exe) then i click properties(onto the new shortcut of the launcher) and insert -dontForceMinReqs(copy pasted from GOG support) unto the proper line at the top. And yes, im putting a space in between the command lines,

^ Thats it. Just as GOG tells me to do. And the problem persists. And even if i could get it running, I'm not willing to sacrifice HD textures. And even though theres a mod to turn them back on, I've no idea where I'm supposed to install it.

To be more precise, there is no link there. :-)

Not true anymore.

Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit OS on both Laptop and Desktop.

Try my suggestion, I think it should solve your issue and let me know if its confusing or you need any clarification.

The witcher.exe is in the system folder.

i.e. C:/Users/SYSADMIN/Desktop/Witcher I - Enhanced Edition/System

That is probably why the -dontforce.... fix isn't working. The stickied instructions say to make a shortcut to the .exe, not the launcher.

You don't have to sacriface textures, very simple fix

The problem isnt sacrificing HD Textures. Though that IS a problem. The problem is that the -dontForceMinReqs fix is not working to begin with. So even though the mod fix exists, I cant even use it if the regular fix to RUN the game in the first place fails to work.
