I restart my computer to have a fresh start on gog, and the update shows up. The update didn't show until I restart everything.
Try go to game settings in GOG - manage installation - configure - and here you will have option to update to 4.0 version :) (U had to unclick "automatically update to the newest version", there I could select version 4.00.) ezz

Bob-NZ: If this is true:-

I find it very sad. That CDPROJECTRED would do this. It is against the GOG principles. That I believe they started out with.

So do we now we have Bethesda two. Another game producer forcing what it wants over what I want.

Another Game producer to stop buying games from.

I hate BULLIES. We have enough of them in Russia. With Putin, and his supporter.

I have my game setup the way I want MY Game to be. CDPROJECTRED, you screw it with auto updates you come here and fix it.

Give me the CHOICE to change MY game. MY purchased and paid for game. The one I bought from you. That I now own.

If you have ever perceived, I have given you permission to change my game I rescind it here and now.

I was looking forward to the new changes. I PRESUMMED it would be a new game. "Witcher 3 Ultimate version". Not we'll update it no matter what you want.

Or if you have mods in it put them in the mod folder so they can be removed. IF I don't want them.

I had enough with Bethesda stopping me from playing Skyrim SE unless I updated it to the next version. I had it exactly the way I wanted it. Hours of trial and error with various mods.

Thanks to the rollback that modders made I can now. But it took a darn long time for the moding community to sort it out. And we lost many modders who had great mods because of Bethesda's bullying. They will be missed. They are already missed.

CDPROJECTRED Give a choice. Don't dictate.

miccada: Regarding CD project - they are already in americand hands then they will do what US "entertainment" industry will dictate with all PC and ideological content. Poles sold piece of their culture and now that piece will be "formated" to adhere to US market.

Keep your political BS for yourself and out of forum. Regarding "Bullies" let just wait when USA and their little gnomes will "bring democracy" to another country by butchering civilians and carpet bombing cities. If you have no idea what you talking about then just leave because there is nothing more cringy than someone who playing now "shockingly surprised" by by current events. Disgusting twisted hypocritical stance.
Are you using drugs?
so no replacement, if anyone still cares, on steam and GOG you can go back to 1.31/1.32

Acidule: Good news, the old version is still downloadable in the Backup & Goodies section, listed in the Extras as "Witcher 3 GOTY Classic (1.32)"
I get a 404 error. I am looking at torrents, right now.

Scythifuge: Are you using drugs?
Another needless worry (I hope)

The install was long 12 hours. And my only beef with it is they deleted the downloaded files. After the installation. I wanted to save them. Now I've got another 12-hour download. for a backup, or just zip this one.

Haven't played it enough to really comment. Just enough to see it worked. Slower loading. The view offset is really noticeable on a short wander through Novigrad. Interacted with Triss fine.

Now it's time to continue my playthrough.

Saves are not compatible with previous versions.
And cloud saves are still stuffed and don't work.

Bugger, do I start a new game or continue with the current level 48 Grandmaster gear and Toussaint knight's sword and armor, Geralt's knight armor, as well as Aerondight. Which is what I was playing through this time to try out.

Cheers Bob.

Yeah sorry about that, i didn't check the actual links; i had already backed up the 1.31/1.32 installers before the update so i just assumed they moved those without issues.

UhuruNUru: No it will likely be a completely separate install, but even if it's an update you still have to install the patch.

If you have a modded game keep that installed, and install the Complete Edition Separately.

You can get an offline installer for previous versions via Galaxy Extras Tab, or direct from the website, without Galaxy.

It won't be available until 0:00 Hrs 14th Dec 2022 approximately 21minutes 17 seconds away, but whose counting?

Gel214th: Has anyone been able to install the update yet? I installed the GOTY edition, but for some reason it will not download the update. My game is still at 1.32.
Yep, down and running.

I did have the tick box in auto updates un-ticked. Clicking on the update file started the download.
I presume having a tick in the box would do it to.

From here 12 hours 3pm to 3am, from start to into the game. For 10 minutes then bed. Long day.

Well time to really try it.

Cheers Bob.

That made it for me thx
Initially started fine after a 12-hour download.

Managed to load and run an old 1.32 save.

Then it started crashing. Maybe my fault changed the General.ini. Added the debug line

In the end I verified files twice.

And the second time I tried adding the 1.32 version settings in the General.ini and remarking the version 4.0 out.

Not a problem since. Why? You tell me, darned if I know.

[General]
ConfigVersion=2
{Deleted debug info if you want it google it and add it here. without quites}

; Version 4.0 ini
;ConfigVersion=5

----------------------------------
Last two lines remarked out with semi colons ";"

I did wonder if the mismatch in items in the list of what Geralt can have torch, bombs, food. Has anything to do with it.
I have something in every slot. With a mask slot and one slot missing. I have two items with nowhere to go when the save loads.

In saying that I have loaded my last 1.32 save into V4.0 now. Save it again as a v4.0 and reloaded it. Without any problems.

But it just might be the good PC fairies are looking after me?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Seems my earlier worries were a wee bit over the top. But very coloured by Bethesda and Steam forcing the AE update on me. When I didn't want it. locking the game so it couldn't be played until I updated it. I held out for 6 months before killing the best mod load for SE I'd managed to get. And updating it. Now I don't play it, it is sucks.
Yep, got me into a right snotty.

I played 4 games Skyrim LE, & SE. Horizon Zero Dawn (3,141 hours)

The one that got me started on this genre Witcher 3 which was the first.
(v1.02 to v1.31 5,000 hours ( GOG seems to have lost this one.) v1.32 2,202 hours, GOTY 474 hours wasn't my favorite)

I've got a save. "Saturday, ‎6 ‎August ‎2016, ‏‎4:13:46 pm" Where I finished hammering Willis in Whiterun with the beehive glitch for hour after hour (netting $2,451,739). After I'd topped the game :-)

Came through Witcher enhanced, and Witcher 2. Good enough in their own rights. Played Witcher 3 (The cream of the crop.) Watched the first TV series. Then read the books.

Why am I writing this? I've invested a lot of time in the CDPR games. Particularly Witcher 3, it is a place you can go on an adventure holiday.
Once you learn how to run like hell from anything too big for you it's a wonderful place to spend some time in. Just wandering around.

The game world is beautiful. ON A FINE DAY! You can go fishing for drowners, hunting deer and rabbit's, explosive arrow are a bonus :-) The occasional hectic moment with a Griffin overhead.

I don't know if this is true. But I think I'm the first Witcher 3 tourist.

Visions of CDPR doing the same as Bethesda, coloured my vision.....................

So, my apologies to CDPR.

To all of you who took umbrage at what I wrote earlier.
You may keep it I have enough umbrage for all of you. And possibly some to spare :-)

For those who tried to be helpful. I thank you for trying.

All of you, have a good one.

Have fun!

Cheers Bob.
:-)
