Hey guys,

Sorry If someone mentioned this already , i'm a little late to the party but here we go:

So I've finally got my Witcher 3 copy this week and I'm already in love with this game! (Also played both predecessors!) CD Project Red thank you very much for such a great game (series).

With that said, I ran into a technical issue during installation.
The setup (GOG Galaxy) kept telling that the drive ;ve set it to install to, didn't have enough memory. ( i had 136 gb still free on that drive, so that wasn't true. Then I installed on another drive and oh my god it worked. So what was the issue?

The game won't install on a FAT32 drive. I had the same problem with Assassins Of Kings ( not other games though). So before installing, check on which drive type you install it to. the game will install on NTFS not FAT32. ( i'm not sure how to conver one to the other)

I hope this've been helpful!

That is right because there are files larger than 4GB which FAT32 can't handle.

Ah! For noob like me that's an eye opener! I never knew why some games just won't install on Fat 32! thank you very much!

The "not enough space" error will also appear if the disk containing your "temp" folder is too small.
My 4GB RAM-disk clearly wasn't big enough ;)
