I tested both direct download and through the client, and it is the same problem. There's an error (or I should say "errors" in plural if we're being picky), which seems to be affected by a particular file, but I've yet to test the rest of the other items for the stuff I don't have yet, but it might be worth looking into as a QC issue. My test is through W1 EE's version of goodies.

In fact, the whole thing is a mess.

The stuff in the zip seems to be mixed up or mashed up in illogical settings, and that it is missing content which the original version actually has. This is problematic for people who now have this pack and those who don't own the games by having this content in disorder instead of preserved as they are presumably, a one-stop pack download of the entire goodies packs for each of the game and their extra content.

Does anyone have this issue?

Yes, look at the other 3 (at leas) threads on the subject on page 1 or 2 of the general forum.

Well, now I only see the one, and the one guy reporting the same sort of issue. Everyone else replying doesn't seem to really help other than making me see it affirms the problem. GOG ought to fix it soon.

Yep, but they are slow and there is a sale. I note that they seemed to have updated the Witcher and Witcher 2 downloads as they are different to what I downloaded.

Yeah, there is a sale, but this is the technical side of things which looks like it should have been verified before launch since they only just released this for free.

Some of the corrupted files indeed were replaced, but corruption was reported days ago and I cannot believe this hasn't still been fixed. Sale or no sale, they should still have someone available to fix stuff like that in a timely fashion.

Well, even now as they split the goodies, they still screwed up because even the W1 inspired music folder for the flac files is missing the flac files, which just stops being ironic since it's not even funny anymore. I only have the MP3 versions (which is not an actual issue itself, but missing content in general is, in principle, very bad).

Seriously??? These are the files (MP3 and FLAC from the Witcher 1 inspired music) I re-downloaded as a test the other night and they were fine, so what the hell happened that they are screwed again!

No idea. If I thought it was just because an error was thrown in it because the folder was corrupt, it obviously was not the only problem. They apparently split the folders along with fixing the error, but it was still missing files. The flac folder for it in that instance only contained the cover art like the mp3 one, just sans the flac files. So, yeah, lack of QC here.

(It's not problematic entirely for the content of this particular game as I believe it should still be obtainable for free and I can use the goodies from there since it's supposed to not be any different. It is problematic when I don't own the other games and that kind of shenanigan happens. It defeats the point of having goodies when you actually don't get it especially if you paid for it.)

Ok, seems there is still some issues then. I wouldn’t be too harsh though, there are some other things happening in the world right now, sure they will get it sorted.
In terms of content in there, owning all the games, I didn’t see much new, couple of songs and the video that was separate before.
