That's basically it, I start the game, screen goes black and after a second a windows pop up shows up and says "Witcher3.exe has stopped worknig"
I checked if a pc with my specs would run it and they all said it could with configuration on low, I've seen videos of people playing on low configuration with a pc like mine and tutorials to get stable fps, I've already used recommended witcher 3 hunter's config configurations
I've tried closing google chrome and I have windows automatic updates activated and up to date, graphic card drivers seem updated (or GeForce Experience says so lol), I have Dx12 installed.

My pc specs are:
Nivida GeForce 220 with drivers version 342.01
Intel Core i3 540, 3.07GHz
5.99 GB RAM

IronH3avenZ: Nivida GeForce 220
Your graphics card is woefully inadequate and only supports DirctX 10 (regardless of what you have installed). The Witcher 3 requires DirectX 11 support and a much higher spec GPU.

Yeah, I thought It might be that since I've been having problems with new games on that matter too, though on this one the error didn't have any particular message so I thought it could be something else

And yes, I am running as admin and have deactivated the GOG overlay and tested opening the game from the folder

Any recomendations on DX11 or even DX12 compatible graphics card that may be compatible with my system?
Or even recomendations on how to find one are also appreciated as I don't know much about this stuff lol

It's not just a case of your GPU. Your entire system is way underpowered for new, demanding games (see attached). If you're serious about wanting to play fairly new to new games like TW3 you need to consider upgrading your entire system.

Well, too sad I don't have enough money for a full update, I guess I'll stick around with this until I safe up enough to buy a whole new set.

Still, got the link to the source of that image? looks useful
