The Witcher 3: Wild HuntQUESTION: Manually update the game without GOG?(11 posts)(11 posts)

I've bought the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on May 19th, installed it and downloaded the first patch manually from thewitcher.com (like in the good old days, you know?).

I don't want to use either GOG or GOG Galaxy (just created the account to post my question). Don't get me wrong: It's - without a doubt - a good service with all the auto-update stuff but I just don't like any kind of stupid clients and I don't want to use the code which came within the game or link it in any way to my account.

Now to my question: Will the dlc's/updates also be uploaded to thewitcher.com or do I have to go the 'illegal' way? (Illegal is the wrong word since the patches are free anyway).

Thanks for an answer. :-)

You know that gog.com is not a client, just a normal website you can download the latest patch directly?

Thanks for your response!

By the way: I get a "403 Forbidden".

And I meant "GOG Galaxy", my fault. :O

I think you have to register the game on GOG (www.gog.com/redeem) in order to have the ability to download the patches directly from GOG website.

Your best bet is to register your game code here (it's no use otherwise, anyway) and then all patches and updates will show up in your Library in your Account. You can DL them manually from there and apply them to your game just like the old days. It's how I'm doing it. No need for Galaxy.

What makes clients stupid exactly? The only thing stupid here is your intolerance.

Alright, thanks for your answers guys but I just don't want to register the game or link it to my account in case I'll sell the game at any time.

I think I've to use the "unofficial" way for the updates and free dlc's then.
(And only for them)

And keep up your good work CDPR, this game is amazing. c:

Whoah, whoah, dude, stop right there! There seems to be a misunderstanding. GOG sells only DRM-free games, meaning that on gog you games will NEVER be chained to an account or anything. If you bought the physical version of the game, you can re-sell it if you want to. The code is basically a free extra copy of the game. If you redeem the code on gog it is voided, obviously, but if you bought the physical version of witcher3, you can still sell it because it is completely separate and will not be linked to gog.

If you wish to not redeem your code, I guess you'll have to download the patches manually from CDPR.

No, that was just for the 1.03 patch, a direct link to it.
All you do really, you click the Account tab and select the game, you will see all the download links for patches there.
