I have a problem when launching TW2 and the error shows this

Unable to load cooked 'globals\controls.csv'. Make sure resource was gathered and check log for details.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

This error usually occurs when the game is somehow corrupted during the download process so I'll assume you have a digital download version of the game. It can happen due to internet connection problems or antivirus software blocking, deleting, putting files in quarantine or sandboxing them.

Completely disabling antivirus and firewall and redownloading and reinstalling the game helped in all the cases apart from one, where it turned out that the hard drive the person owned was corrupted and installing the game to a different HDD helped.

To uninstall if you have the Steam version: right-click on "The Witcher 2" in your Steam application, select "Delete local content". Then redownload the game.
