Yeah so my game keeps crashing, during the qeest where I go to the inn and talk to everyone (where you meet Adda for the first). I get about half way though the quest and the game ALWAYS crashes.

Im running it on Windows 7
4GB DDR2 RAM
Intel i5 2.67Ghz
Radeon HD 6950

Im well above system specs

Im also running the steam version if it helps.

Have you tried to go back to a previous savegame? coz it seems to me that it could be an issue related to a corrupted one. I don't think there should be a reason for the game to crash at that point, since it all went good before.

This is the reunion at "The old nakarot" inn right?

Is an odd spot for the game crash.

Is kind a long shot 'cos you got the crash at one specific point of the game but some people get rid of ramdom crashes switching to windowed mode. You could try that.

You could also try this for crashing and or unexpected framerate drops for no reason .

The issue is the one known as the IFO module error, you get that error when trying to to change zone (mostly in chapters 2 and 3).
To fix this, you need to make some manipulations, first, if you are under XP, go to my computer, get on your C drive, open the tools menu -> Folder options, View tab. In there, look for "Hidden files and folders", click on show hidden files and folder. Next look for "Hide protected operating system files", uncheck it.
If you are under Vista, go to the control panel and look for folder option, the rest of the procedure is the same : View tab. In there, look for "Hidden files and folders", click on show hidden files and folder. Next look for "Hide protected operating system files", uncheck it.

Now, start the game, and load your savegame ( normal savegame, not quick or auto ). Once it is loaded, press ALT-Tab to get out of the game, go to the following folder:
Windows XP/2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\The Witcher\temp\saves\<name of your loaded savegame>
Windows Vista/7: C:\User\<your user name>\AppData\Local\The Witcher\temp\saves\<name of your loaded savegame>
In that folder, delete all the files that end with the .SAV extension.

Then go back in the game, move around a bit, save your game and reload it. Hopefully your problem is now solved .

Exactly! I couldn't enter to the cemetery in act II and this fixed the IFO error!

Thanks a lot!
