The stupid doesn't stop here...
I installed the Enhanced Edition from the offline installers provided in the "Extras" section. So far so good, one would think. But noooo...
Now every time I start GOG Galaxy it begins a 70+ GB download even though all the files for the EE are already installed.
I have to play the game from the .exe and not use GOG Galaxy as long as I play this game.
Why oh why doesn't the EE have its own game tile in my library? Why was this implemented in this terrible fashion?
It's beyond stupid.
neverko: Never mind this. This is due to the stupid way this game is delivered. Installing from GOG Galaxy simply installs the regular edition.
The Enhanced Edition is a separate download without its own tile in GOG Galaxy. I had to download a separate installer from the Extras.

Talk about an insanely unintuitive way to go about this. There's zero chance I'd ever have figured that out.
