Complette reinstall could be only option. Also might help to try change the installation folder and clean up all the settings saved in UserName\Documents folder
And like with every rerror, remove all the mods first.
LucidusAtra. I have found a fix. I went looking around in the game files. Go to your file explorer, then go to The Witcher 3 file. There should be one folder and 3 notepad files. There should be "game saves" "input" "user" and "user.settings." You should click on the "user" file and NOT the user.settings file. I reccomend making a copy of the user notepad file just in case you accidentally mess something up. After this, you must open the user file with notepad and there should be a setting just called "fullscreen." For some reason this setting likes to default to "2" whenever I plug my laptop into a different display. If youre having the same problem as me, changing this number to "1" and then saving the file should make your game work again. Make sure that when you open, change, and save the file that witcher 3 and steam are completely closed. I do that just because im super cautious.
I do not know why this problem happens, but for example when I take my laptop to my girlfriends house, then back home and plug it back into my TV, the setting defaults to 2. It really isnt that big of a problem as it only takes a couple seconds to change, but it is a minor inconvenience, and if anyone has any info on why this happens or how to fix it permanently, I would love to hear it.
Same Problem but this not work for me. anyway thank.
I did not have the user file but I did have user.settings. I changed the setting to 1 as suggested in that file and it worked! Thank you very much I would never have found this on my own!
My sound device output settings were causing the problem for me. I was playing sound through my TV speakers, connected to my laptop via HDMI.
Switching to headphones plugged into my laptop - requiring me to switch output to onboard sound/sound card via the taskbar - fixed the problem completely.
This particular manifestation of the glitch is probably unique to mobile chipsets and there are likely many possible causes of these symptoms in other machines, but maybe this’ll help somebody.
just curios, what graphic card do you use? i have a RX 5700, i think it's a driver issue, had a lot of trouble with the newer graphic driver
I hadn't played this game in almost 2 years, so I'd forgotten that I'd never actually played with my current setup (separate monitor and speakers through HDMI), just on my laptop with onboard everything. Makes perfect sense that this would change something but definitely didn't think of it.
NOTE: some confusion in prior responses, I noticed after I edited User.Settings in Notepad++ that it was renamed to just User
Either way, seems fixed for me now.
