So I have reinstalled GOG Galaxy and Witcher 3 GOTY, but the game still won't launch. I have also updated and verified the game, yet it still doesn't start. I have tried running the game as administrator, again still doesn't start. I'm running out of options! Please help..

Well, you can try to:
- Install / repair C++ libraries.

- Updating/repairing graphics drivers.
- Launching the game without GOG, maybe you need to remove a dll, I don't remember well. Look for help at pinned posts too.

Fortunately not necessary.

@Polakiss

* Shut down GOG completely.
* Let your OS seek for witcher3.exe
* Start the game by doubleclick on the .exe

What happens?

Operating System, the Windows itself.

What message the system shows when you try to run the game outside GOG Galaxy, the warning box.

Same here! Syncing works anyway if I reestablish connection but to start the game I have to disconnect for some seconds.

I just started the game and while it did take a bit to finally launch after viewing a black screen for about 15-20 seconds, the game opened and also synched after I quit. So, at least I can verify it's working. Hopefully you will find out what the issue is. And when you do, please post it on the boards so others can find the solution.
Hi,
On GOG Galaxy, after selecting game on list I have more option on right to "Play" Button. There I have found "Technical support" option.

After redirecting to support.gog page there are articles for (I'm translating from Polish):
Problem solve: basics (section) -> Problems with starting (options) -> Game doesn't run- Intel 10th or greater gen processors (article).

IT HELPED ME :)
