Witcher 2, The - Assassins of Kings Message Board  

hi,

i can't launce the game at all and i don't know why. instalation whent perfect activation aswell but when it come's to actually play then everything just goes south. i click on the launche game and i get the wolf head then nothing for 1 minute then just back to launcher. what gives. running win7 64x ultimate, dual ati hd 5870, 12 gb ram , 3,33 ghz ,latest drivers 11.5. anoyone knoe ehat the problem is?

Two solutions, reduce your desktop resolution before trying to launch the game full screen. Stupid, I know, but it works. I have to drop my display to 1920x1080 before I launch the game into 2560x1440, otherwise I experience the same as you.
Other solution is to run the game in a window instead of full screen.
You'll have to do this until hotfix drivers are released by ATi or the game gets a patch, depending on where the fault lies.
Keep your eyes open for 11.5b hotfix drivers until 11.6 is out.

****. i'm getting this as well.

gonna hunt around their forums...see whts up.

wait, i just re-read you post. mines a bit different. I'm not getting anything once i put in my activation code.

is it officially released yet?

EDIT AGAIN: ignore me, its working now, downloading a patch. I guess the servers are just stressed.

I heard the witcher 2 hates crossfire :P

Sucks to be an ATI user right now

lowering the resolution to 1920 x 1080 dident work but lowering and disabeling full window did work, that i find strange. but atleast it works now. thanks for the tip.

yeah it really does suck, and i have to live with it and the same goes for a LOT of games/gamers outhere

Yes it is released, except on Steam for a few more hours.

There is something about your issue regarding activation, I think I saw a topic on it over at gog.com forums. You're not the only one anyway.

Unfortunately, no amount of planning and preparation will ever iron out all of the bugs. The sheer volume of people trying to activate the game today will be overwhelming, and putting a lot of stress on the servers. Just be patient (I know, easier said than done =P) and try again in a little while.

As for playing with ATI, just disable crossfire to play the game, unless you desperately need it. The engine is pretty intelligent when it comes to making itself look good even with the minimum spec.
