I really don't know what to do anymore, but I'm getting lots of crashes since I have arrived in Flotsam. No error message or anything, game just crashes. Mostly this is triggered by starting conversations, opening menues or entering interiors, but random crashes also appear.

Yes, I have the same probleme. Try to disable all DOF options, this helped me alot. The game still crashes, but not every 5 min. I hope the patch will fix those issues.

Alright, thanx. What I just don't get is why there hasn't been a problem with the DOF options prior to reaching flotsam. So we've got a high end machine and have to turn down all the nice tweaks and wait for a patch. this is really, really, really annoying...almost as annoying as when I first started playing the first part right after release. There were so many bugs....but what finally made me put the game aside was the fact that it was utterly impossible to get a simple torch at the time....this was solved with the enhanced edition...let's hope it wont take them so long this time :(

Yeah, exactly. The game worked perfectly for me in the prolog, but as I reached flotsam the game became unplayable. I really hope they release the patch soon.

I bet they are using some kind of really fancy shader to animate worms in the swamp. You dont see them, but still they are being animated and silently eating up all of your GPUs resources causing the game to crash^^

well, in conversationsi it did, at least for the first one I started now :D. As for the rest: My game has crashed twice within the last few minutes. First time I opened the meditation menu and tried to drink potions (Geralt tried to reach for the potions and then booom, he crashed^^). Next time I tried it worked out, I fought a little fight and suddenly most of the ground textures disappeared leaving just bloomy white light and boooom again, it crashed.

I'm guessing there must be an issue with either the Nvidia drivers or with some of their graphic cards.

Nope, it's not drivers problems. You got Nvidia, I got ATI card and having the same problem, crashing to desktop in Flotsam, perfect play in Prologue. On some other Polish forum there is also a bunch of people who are also having the same issue. It must be something with the game. Let's hope the next patch supposedly coming in next few days will fix this...

Now this is just great :D....no wonder they've only sent the prologue as a preview to all the game magazines :D. I don't even want to know how the game war running prior to the launch patch (although it feels like there hasn't been much patching in this patch^^)

Yep, I was just looking at the forums on the witcher.com and literally hundreds of people are complaining about the same crashes starting with the first cut scene in chapter 1, what a shame, what a shame.

There is a forum on witcher.com site? :o Where?

It is not a real forum, well you can discuss, but the topic is given (technical difficulties) and you have a commentable "Wall of Shame" below :)

Oh? So, I'm not the only person having crashing problems when I reach Flotsam?
I immediately crash to desktop EVERYTIME, it has not failed to do this, once I've fought through the elves after hopping off the boat in chapter one.

I fortunately got past the elves and into town. after a few crashes. The wholte thing repeated when getting to the hanging (was in the trailer, so I guess there is no spoiler here^^)...after a few crashes I also got through that and so on and so forth. After trying out numerous stuff with the graphics settings, which did not help at all, it worked for me just to walk slowly where ever the game would be loading parts of new areas. Mainly Flotsams gates, interiors, the marked and so on. Just played an entire hour crash free doing that :).

I just attempted the same area 5 or 6 times, and every time with the same consistency it crashes. While Vernon Roche is carrying Triss upon his shoulder, and the flotsam guards/militia, whatever they are, start raising the alarm that the scoia' tael are attacking it crashes as soon as the following scene initiates.
5 fucking times with the same consistency? Seriously? I've tried everything I can think of from drivers, disabling anti-virus software, and more. I'm past frustrated at this.
