When I try to install the game, I get the below error. So I tried to copy all files to a directory on a hard drive, resulted in the same error. Disc is fine, no marks and it copied successfully from DVD to HDD.

I have tried on another PC, same error, as admin too. (PCs are Win 7 (Symantec AV) and Win 10 (FREE AVG) and disabled AV)

I dont have the bandwidth to download the game from GOG.

Call the supplier (number is on the plastic wrap around the game, but I'm pretty sure it's Megarom if you threw that away). They will give a reference number (usually XMS and a bunch of numbers) which you can then take back to the store for an exchange.

I used winRAR, extracted the 8 BIN files to a hard drive. While extracting, it gave me one error, that same blob.bundle file in the picture in my previous post. The rest extracted without an error.

The I tried to run the witcher3.exe and it gave me this error:

So now I want to try the Galaxy app.

If anyone is using it, what is the exact folder name used for The Witcher 3 in the galaxy games folder? Would like to try and see if it might just download that specific file, followed by the patch.

Don't use the Galaxy client its way too unstable atm.

"The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt". It's not in the Galaxy folder though, it's wherever you install it. I think Galaxy will find it.

Thank you for the help guys! Really appreciate it!

You will need the pre-order 1.01 patch for the game to run http://play.thewitcher.com/, Also Gog Galaxy is a POS, I tried it I really really did then gave up. If you are in the Cape I can Give you all the free DLC and updates

Am I the only one who hasn't had issues with the Galaxy client? I quite like it. It's a lot easier than manually applying all the patches from the main GOG site.

Ahh I see. I haven't used it that recently. It is still in Beta, so issues are to be expected.

The Witcher 3 mod replaces combat with Gwent matches

Makes you wonder why they gutted the original renderer and changed so much in the first place when this new mod gets close to the original VGX / Sword of Destiny footage. There's an FPS cost of around 5 FPS.

For maximum eye candy, you should use it in conjunction with the Improved LOD mod.
