Ok so had all the problems that were noted in the forum:
1. Attempted to install via install button in GOG Galaxy - this would fail to install and then endlessly repeat retry at intervals whilst GoG Galaxy was running. Once Aborted this stopped.
2. Downloaded offline installer - ran installer as per normal and install worked without issue
3. Attempted to Run the game from within GoG - had a fail reference 3D rendering as described above.
4. opened the installation folder and hovering over game.exe > r-click > properties > Compatibility, changed the values thus:
(see attachment)
Compatibility mode:
Tick box > click [Run this program in compatibility mode for:]
use DDL and select Windows 7
Settings:
Tick box > click [Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution]
Click Apply.
Run the game by double clicking game.exe - game runs without issue.
Exit game
Open GOG Galaxy, run Syberia via play button.
Launches with no issue.
