The Witcher 3 Crashes

Hey, I recently downloaded The Witcher 3 and when I click open it's not opening. It gives a screen for a second and then crashes.
(It took me like 3-4 hours to download The Witcher so I don't want to redownload it so if there's any way without reinstalling it please let me know)

Thanks for your reply

Hi there,

Do you have DXVK or D3DMetal enabled in the right sidebar? One of those is needed for the game to run.

Best,
Meredith

Try using D3DMetal with CrossOver 23.6. It works quite well when I tested it with the latest Witcher 3 Next Gen version. Here's also a recording of it working on my Mac.

And don't launch the DX11 version, instead, launch the default DX12 one. From my install (using GOG offline installer), the DX11 one will fail to launch.
