Im a newbie pc gamer, having problemswith witcher 3. Ive correctly installed all the disks yesterday including a number of updates. Yet today I have clicked play what feels a hundred times the play button, it shows the icon in the bottom bar for all of a secound then goes, and once to a black screen with a waiting mouse circling. Can anyone help me get the game running please

Hi, You may need to reinstall it as it may have gotten corrupted. When you you the reinstallation, you may want to turn off yopur anti virus stuff and that can mess things up. You didn't say what your PC specs were and they could also be an issue.

Hi there. I'm just wondering if you did this first.

"The initial, pre-premiere retail PC batch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt needs to download a file from our servers to allow play. This file will either be downloaded automatically during installation process or you can choose to download it manually from a dedicated website. Since we have no DRM in the game, this is a security measure we needed to incorporate so the game doesn’t leak during the production process. No worries, the file will not be big. Copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt produced after launch will not contain this security feature. "

Another problem could be that your system isn't powerful enough to run the game. If you post your specs including Motherboard, CPU and Graphics card with amount of RAM, you might get more help. Good luck :)
