The Witcher 2 won't start (Steam, Windows 64 bit)
- Nov 16, 2012 2:45 am GMT
Alright so I have a difficult time finding others with this issue, specifically others who had it resolved or happen the way it happened to me. I was able to play The Witcher 2 before, but after being forced to reinstall all my games on Steam I can't get it to start. I click Play, then tell it to run the install or whatever, then an error message pops up regarding compatibility with Windows 7 64 bit and that I should contact my software provider.
It's pretty frustrating since I just want to finish where I left off, right when it was getting damn interesting.

Ok nevermind, on a whim I just clicked properties and tried the "verify cache" thing on Steam. That fixed things up.
I've had a lot of weird issues getting my games to work again, all different, and it's times like these I wonder if PC gaming is worth the hassle, though I mostly blame Steam for deleting all my games for no damn reason.

90% of the time this has fixed my steam game issues. Always worth trying first as it's usually corrupted files or missing files, stuff like that.
PC gaming can be a hassle at times like this, but there is always a fix. And I personally think the good far outweigh the bad when it comes to PC gaming.
