if you have patch bin files then you used the off line installer... that has to be reinstalled with new off line installs
Galaxy can auto patch over another Galaxy install i.e, you can't mix and match them
also don't allow onedrive to highjack your save games file or install Galaxy/ games to c program files

if you got the bin files from Gog then that is a backup installer and they come in two basic types
1 Galaxy [extras] or
2 Browser
[see the images i posted as example]
the only difference between these two options is the size of the downloads, Galaxy gives it to you as one big 100G + file and browser breaks them up into 4G chunks but they unpack to the same thing on your Mac/ PC
you can only install off line patches onto an off line copy of the game so even if you used Galaxy to download the 120G copy it will not install over an older build of the game from Galaxy i.e, off line is one thing and Galaxy is another
1st step = look at my Galaxy / browser images and check if your file number is the same ending in 4900808 because if your copy says anything else on those main builds then its worthless now and you need to update
next step is 'show folder' & 'path' [see images]
what we need to know is where the current build of BG3 is installed on your system?
so if its in c program files then this is a Windows error and you need to pick a different location
but if its installed on an external drive like a USB stick or harddrive in a caddy this this is a user error and you need to make/ find internal space to put your game

you can NOT install a offline patch file over a Galaxy install
will the copy of bg3 you have actually boot to the Larian launcher?
yes = please tell me the build version of BG3 you currently have installed on your system
no = you may as well uninstall it and start fresh
