Witcher 3 not launching.

[Baralier]

I've decided to start another playthrough now that the update has been released but when I try to start I get Script Compilation Errors. Do I need to reinstall the whole thing or is there something conflicting with it?

Delete your mod folder.

This, 100%

[Not_Tola]

might be one or few of your mods.

[Hellfire77]

Also if they're updated mods make sure you run script merger.

Vortex uninstalled, Mod folder deleted, Game files verified.

You must still have mods installed somewhere. Did you go into the game's directory to delete the mod folder and the mods, or did you rely on Vortex to do it?

[Baralier]

I used the Windows Settings Feature to uninstall Vortex and also deleted the Vortex folder from the User/Appdata directory. Also reinstalled Witcher 3 via steam. Still getting errors. Where else might mods have been located that I haven't found yet?

The game's directory (not the AppData bit, but the actual install directory). That's where the "Mods" folder is located. Uninstalling Vortex does not remove any mods, and neither does uninstalling the game.

Again 100%. You have to manually delete the mod folder.

[Baralier]

Found it. I hadn't realised there was a mod folder within the program folder in addition to the mod folder in the app data. All working now. Thanks

[September]

Okay I got the random compile errors and I have tried removing all the mods in mods folder under Program Files/steam/etc... etc..

I have found out that:

modCrossbowDamageBoost
modJumpInShallowWater
modImprovedSignEffects
modBetterTorches131

don't work with the newest version of the game. Removing them from my mods folder solved this compilation error for me.

If you still have similar problems after removing these, try removing other/outdated mods one by one and try to run the game. sooner or later, you will find the ones that create problems.

Hope it helps.
