Much appreciated, I’ve been scared to attempt to verify lol

Don't do a verify. It's stuck at 91.9% now.

0.1% worse than it was before. lol

Tried solution 3, it did let me finish the download, but when I verified game files it got stuck again on 91.9%. Considering getting a refund and buying on Steam instead.

yooooooooooooo this woooorked thax a buunch i did all the steps at the same time

I'm on 91.9 too, have you found any solution?

No. Just no. First I needed to perform tricks to get it to run, now there's an update stuck? Refund requested and I'll go back to Stream. I really wanted this to work but incompetence is something I cannot stand, this should just WORK in 2023.

Edited:
I removed my comment about incompetence, apparently it was a "Honey" pot. x'D

It’s like me targeting you out and being rude….because your shoe came untied after you tied it…..
The level of immaturity and lack of patience within the general populace is beyond frustrating to me, So I hope you roll as many 1’s as humanly possible. (This was always meant to be a little comical, but in order to assure the public I guess I need to comment here as well) - 2023 in a nutshell

Yes. I have requested a refund.

I wanted this DRM-free but if the DRM-free version is broken then I guess I buy it over at Steam.

I'm kind of sus that the DRM-free version was broken on purpose. >_>

A lot of developers are pro-DRM.

This worked for me thank you so much

Step 1 and 2 worked for me. Thank you, divine bless your kind heart.

I had the same issue and step 2 fixed it instantly for me. Thank you!

- install stuck at 92%
- closed gog
- changed "Game.pak.download" to "Game.pak"
- reopened gog
- fixed!

thanks, the first step worked

It's a new game? I mean, kind of, but there was that nearly three-year EA period to iron out a few kinks. "New game" also feels like a better excuse for Larian, who made the game, rather than GOG, a middle-man sale and delivery service. This isn't an issue with BG3, this is an issue with one particular distributor of BG3, that it sounds like may be affecting more games than BG3.

Perhaps that is all forgivable under the "no one's perfect" doctrine if GOG's own published work-around--referring the community to the back-up direct install--worked, which it almost does. Unfortunately, and mind-mindbogglingly, the back-up install version is out-dated and does not include the updates through the latest August 11 patch, so even if someone has wasted their time installing a 100+ GB game multiple times, if they were already playing rather than a new user (say, someone trying to reinstall the game because GOG's client issues extended to preventing it from launching, probably due to cloud sync issues also through its client), their saves on the latest version of the game will all be incompatible with the out-of-date work-around GOG currently has available for the back-up install.

That's not the incompetence on display here? Godspeed to the community figuring out install files to delete, file names to change, .NET applications to download, and whatever else one can do to trick GOG Galaxy into thinking an install completed properly, but that's different than the installation actually completing properly and may be liable to cause issues down the line until GOG can actually get itself working again. That's not a real solution, and it's not a substitute for GOG being a reliable marketplace and distributor.

And you're instead upset about purported end-user incompetence? Honey, we're not selling a product, we bought a product--apparently from the wrong source. Speaking at least for myself, I will not make that mistake again.

did the steps, seemed to work, but verifying files has it now stuck at 91.4% instead! lol
this is my first time buying off GOG instead of steam & its sad that this is happeneing.
