Sorry for extended comment guys
I had problem 1 and 3. It seems to be reduced now, but only time will tell. I got problem 2 after, so I'm updating my drivers for now. Thanks for the comprehensive advice!
It's sad the developers have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up this game (which had quite the potential!) and left it dying. 1 or 2 months more work and many problems would've been eradicated and the game would've been far more pleasant to play.
1) Open up your Task manager.
2) Go into your Details.
3) Find the process/s called tabtip32.exe.
4) Right-click on it and End Task.
There seems to be some sort of conflict with this process and witn.exe
And don't worry, it's only a tablet process, so it won't leave your computer vulnerable or anything.
I hope this can help everyone else that is having this problem! :D
You sir are a Legend! I really think you should repost your solution as it's own thread, and if you don't I will (and accredit it to you naturally) as it works wonders! Both my wifes Surface pro 3 and my surface pro 4 i7 crashed whislt playing this after a certain amount of time (around 10-15 minutes). Was so dissapointed.
And then I found you answer. 3 hours later, no crashes. Super! Thanks a million!
You mean straight to desktop? doesn't even load the first screen? I had that too on both computers. Check the integrity of the game files via steam. I bet one will be corrupted and will be re downloaded (takes 3 seconds). The game then ran first time on both separate PC's.
We ran into a total of 3 issues while trying to make the game work on newly upgraded Windows 10 laptops:
1) Game crashed straight back to the desktop after clicking RUN from Steam (or running WITN.EXE directly from File Explorer) - the fix for this was a reinstall of the game. The save files for your play-throughs are kept intact so you don't lose any savegame slots or character progress by doing a "Delete Local Content" and a quick reinstall (I reinstalled a number of times on our computers in the process of troubleshooting these crashes).
2) HOWEVER once you fixed problem 1... the game would startup fine, play the intro movie, etc., but then it would crash when you clicked Start at the intro screen. The fix for this (for us, on nVidia laptops with switchable graphics) was to run the game in Intel graphics mode... quit out... then switch it back to run the game with nVidia graphics (set this using the Applications section of the nVidia control panel - if you have the right-click menu enable you can righ-click on WITN.EXE and say "Run this with Intel graphics..." for a one-time switch without changing the "Run this with nVidia graphics" setting). This seemed to reset the game's notion about the graphics card and reinitialize whatever saved config was being stored (which by the way, seems to be retained even when you reinstall the game - so that doesn't help with this problem). This crash occurred on my laptop that was recently upgraded to Windows 10 and the game had been played before on Windows 8.1 (and it was maybe a year ago... AND the drivers have gone through significant new versions since then, etc.).
3) TABTIP32.EXE: Killing that process just makes it respawn. We had to "End Process Tree" on the "TABTIP.EXE" process and that made both of them exit. After doing that, the random crashes of the game STOPPED OCCURRING. Also of note - the laptop with the random crashes was the only laptop of the 3 with a TOUCH SCREEN.
Regarding the "Verify Integrity of Local Cache" - we tried that. After we reinstalled the game, and immediately did this check, we found that it complains about one file failing verification and that never seems to get resolved. At least that's what we saw on the computer giving us the random crash trouble. I doubt it has any bearing on the crashes we're seeing.
My buddy even went so far as to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch (with the notion that the upgraded Windows 8 to Windows 10 process had somehow screwed things up)... that had no effect on the random crash problem.
So I hope this helps anyone who is deciding to dust off this game for another play-through... the game is just plain FUN and great for a 3-player co-op game fest.
