Despite releasing all the way back in May of 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains one of the best RPGs you can play on modern hardware. This is of course helped by the game's current-gen update, which was released in late 2022 and helped to bring the popular CD Projekt RED title to a whole new generation of players.

This update has also led to many people returning to the game for yet another playthrough, eager to experience all of the big improvements for themselves. However, some of those returning players may find themselves faced with script compilation errors, even with a fresh install of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

How to Fix The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Script Compilation Errors

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt script compilation errors are generally caused by incompatible mods. As such, the fastest way to fix them is to simply delete the "Mods" folder, which may still be on the player's hard drive from the last time they played this fantastic role-playing game. Much like saves and config files, mods aren't usually removed when players uninstall a game. For those having trouble finding it, the Mods folder can be found in the game's directory, which will usually be saved in Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3.

Alternatively, if players would rather keep hold of their old mods, they can reinstall the game using Classic Patch 1.32 or update the mods that they have installed to newer versions. Of course, the latter may not always be possible, so it may be better to just delete everything and start from scratch. This can obviously be frustrating, but given how easy it is to install mods for The Witcher 3 these days, it shouldn't take up too much of the player's time. Besides, for those hoping to take advantage of the current gen update, this may well be the only option they have for fixing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt script compilation errors and starting up the game.
