Doesn't launch after Next Gen update (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

Here is the cholera!

try turning off ray tracing, it helped me.

Run on Dx12, I also have such an error on 11.

And how, even if I can’t enter the game

I tried, it doesn't work
Now I'm reinstalling the game, I hope it helps

Even a complete reinstallation did not help.
Then I remembered about the firewood for the vidyukha, downloaded it, and it still does not start.
I'm on tilt

RENFERD_leg Is there
any way to roll back the update?

and delete the file with the settings from the folder my documents / blah blah blah / witcher3?

no, still won't start

I have the same nonsense, rearranged everything, updated everything, sometimes it doesn’t give an error, it just crashes at startup, in other cases the same error, even deleted the folder with mods for the old game

12 dx stupidly black screen at startup, it starts at 11, but has not yet looked at performance

some kind of nonsense, I did a clean installation, dx 12 ultra without rtx (not supported) crashes after the video with Yennefer (where he rides a horse)

I have the same garbage. But vice versa! 11 works, 12 yes! Crashes after the cutscene with Yenifer.

Faced the same problem. Not on DX12, not on DX11 did not start.
There used to be mods. Deleting the "mod" folder didn't help. As a result: deleted the game; completely deleted the game folder from the Steam folder; re-installed the game ....... While a couple of hours played, the flight is normal.

Such garbage I fly on the splash screen with Yennefer, at the very beginning

when starting in the launcher window, you must select DX11 if installed or rolled back to version 1.32 and, accordingly, DX12 if updated to 1.4. In short, I removed ray tracing, Nvidia Reflex removed it seems to be playable, but of course it’s complete garbage, everything flew on version 1.32 in ultra settings, besides, I still didn’t understand what dlss gives, while the card is loaded by 70 percent maximum and fps draws 45-75 frames, you have to roll back.

I'm the opposite. Dx 12 the game works with shitty optimality, when you switch to DX 11, the game loads, but the game has a stupid black screen, the inventory works, but in the game itself, it's just fucking dark ....

Check files in steam, but I don’t know about pirates)

If the new version of Witcher 3 (4.0) freezes and crashes after the December 23, 2022 update, check the game files in Steam. The game will download 4 broken files and stop crashing.
