If you are getting “witness64_d3d11.exe has stopped working” error, try starting the game in Windowed mode and then press Alt+Enter to go into full screen.

Alternatively, remove Remove the “-window” and start the game. You will get a configuration box, uncheck the full screen option and once the game loads, press Alt+Enter.
