Oksoy: Greetings travelers!

So you have purchased yourself one of the greatest and most anticipated RPGs nowadays.
You downloaded the game and found out the lovely developers of this lovely piece are giving you free DLCs.
Great! Now, to activating them.
Many, many thanks, mate! I found this a bit too late, though, as I'd already fallen for those faulty Galaxy downloads a couple times, without figuring out what was the cause, and had to re-install my game twice! I thought I was going to end up having a long exchange with Technical Support, but your post saved us both a headache. Full marks!

DocNitroCH: Sorry Guys

That PC Game DLC thing isn't working, how it should be.

1. On Steam it seems to be possible to download and install. lol
2. I have the GoG Version, but there is no direct DLC Download link in my Account. Why? Big Fail!
3. I then installed Galaxy, which i don't like/need, but the now seen DLC link is broken. Every Time i try to
download any of the two, i get only one setup_the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_2.0.0.28.exe File.
When i click this File, it will start a new Installation of the Game. wtf

Where are the correct named/sized DLC Files from that Game? And why do i need Galaxy,
which you promised is optional?!

Please Fix that soon as possible and no need for Galaxy (your Words) means different!

Just to be sure, have you "purchased" the free DLC pack? You just need to go through the checkout with that but it's free.

Other than that, it should show up in your game library, under Witcher 3. Don't download the DLC installers through Galaxy, they have the files mixed up and it gives you the Witcher 3 installer instead.

quirox: I have your problem....
Could be a problem with the servers.
Is it still the case when you try to download?

I don't think the problem is them not purchasing the DLCs, seeing as they do appear in their library.
If the problem is indeed within the Galaxy client go to your account page to download and manually install them.
If the files are mixed up there as well it is a server problem (file hosting) and untill GOG fixes it you won't be able to download them from there.
However, if you are desperate a quick search using Google might yield some results.

Edit: I just checked and for me I can download the correct files from my account page.

Guys, Galaxy is still in beta so there will be a lot of bugs. You don't need to install it in order to play TW3. Just go to the GOG website and download the game in there.
Hey guys, maybe you know something bout this if not I'll just contact the support.

Is there any way to download the DLC from GOG if I bought the retail version? 'Cause i don't know how to get it else. :/

You can find it on your gog.com account once you "buy" free dlc program, check first post on how to do it. :)

I have the same problem too... bought the 4 full disc set (with 1 soundtrack disc) and install using the 4 discs for close to 30 minutes... end up clicking the $0 dollar DLCs in GOG and then getting the useless .exe files...

had to totally uninstall the game and then log into GOG again to download the whole #$@#@ 25GB of game data and install again..

now it is at version 1.02 and both DLCs (Temerian armor and Geralt beard/hair set) is shown on GOG - Configure screen

this totally wasted my time running to my regular game store and grabbing a physical copy when in fact, the online downloaded version is much more stable !
I actually like that you have to buy it. It's a nice middle-ground to not make it feel cheap/make you feel overpowered for no actual reason.

Either I'm blind or too dumb or I'm not allowed to but all I see in my account panel is the order for the DLC, no option to download it though as I have nothing listed in the games tab. Makes it kinda impossible to klick on "more" on the game if I don't have the game in my GOG account 'cause i bought it from the shop next street.
Thank you
