Witcher 3 Crashing Every Damn Time

[soldier5637]

Hey guys, its all in the title. I have Witcher 3 on GOG (Got it free with my 970) and havent touched it in months after losing all progress. I have been trying to restart it and I get less than 5 mins in before it crashes and I have to force shut down my PC. Running a 970, FX-6300, 16 Gb of RAM and windows 10. 970 has latest drivers and game is optimized.

Thats why I make multiple different saves in any game.

Witcher 3 used to crash on me (freeze) but after a few patches stopped doing it. What I noticed when it did crash was that game runs more stable if you run full screen mode instead of borderless window and there is nothing in between game and desktop. So try this - create shortcut to the exe file directly and launch from it. Don't even open gog window

Of course, make sure your system including graphic card is stable.

I switched to borderless and full, crashes either way. Doesnt matter how I launch it. Could it be my CPU? My GPU is plenty strong being a 970, I know that. But could my FX 6300 be causing this many problems and be this incapable?
