So far I am at a loss, tried DDU, updating my drivers from a full fresh clean install. At the start of the game when you are out in the training yard and aobut to do the swordsmanship part. The camera cuts to black, Does not come back on, the game esentially hard locks cannot exit the game at the task bar, the black window stays up so cannot force close it from the task manager, my only option is to log out or restard. Has done this 10 times each time I try to play it. The game used to play fine I beat it, finally went back and played the first two Witchers so I could use the saved games to progress. So am at a bit of a loss at this point.
