So, I bought the Witcher 3 standard edition from EB games Australia. Installed via the disc, downloaded GOG Galaxy. Game runs fine, but I can't 'connect' the game from my library. I click the button, it thinks for a moment then returns the 'connect' button to my screen to be clicked again.

Because of this, I have not ever updated my game (it says installed, unkown version where other games say installed X version).

I am wondering if this can be solved. Also, will it affect my purchase and play of the DLC for the Witcher 3?

Thanks in advance.

Questions:
1. When you install the game, does it have a GoG installer? http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/attachments/gothic_10-png.5434/

If yes, then there is a chance that you can receive support from GoG, or even get a digital copy that will be playable with GoG Galaxy.
If no, then you can't play it with GoG Galaxy.

I recommend you not to use GoG Galaxy in its current state. One of my additional concerns is:
Can you update your Disc version with GoG dlc's?

I hope you will get it all figured out
I wish you luck

Thanks for replying! :)

I do not recall since it was so long ago that I installed the game. The game runs fine, I can start it with the GoG Galaxy client. I just can't 'connect' it so that it will get updates and I worry that without the patches I won't be able to play the DLC if I buy it.

I'll ask GoG support and see if I can help you more
So, my partner to the rescue. I clicked the connect button, it reset, I walked away angry. My partner watched the screen and saw a code box pop up. So, I input the code on the back of the game manual and it connected. Currently enjoying the DLC.

Sorry for wasting your time with such a silly mistake.

Hello,

You can register your retail version of the game on GOG.com.
The CD key should be printed on the back of one of the booklets bundled with the physical version.
You should redeem it here:

I am happy that you found the solution!!
