Oof, that sounds rough indeed. Can’t say I had to deal with any of these issues myself though my last playthrough was a few years back so perhaps I lucked out. What system are you running it on, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m curious what could be the reason for that.

lath@piefed.social 1 month agoRight now, my problem is technical. The first Witcher isn’t made for modern systems, so it crashes a lot.
Cutscenes leading into loading screen will freeze the game. It happens when crossing from the prologue to first act.
if lighting isn’t set go low in settings, cutscenes will start during combat
game can crash during combat
run too fast or too long, game crashes
try to exit the game normally, it stops responding.
It definitely did not age well.

The reasons seem to be graphics. Set most of them to low and the problems disappeared for now.

I get that, I was just wondering about whether it’s OS related or something like that since I or people I know never had such issues despite all of us playing on high settings. It’s just personal curiosity, don’t worry about it.

Playing on Linux, those issues do not exist for me.
