I just downloaded and installed the game this afternoon. I haven't even created a character. What does this message mean? (and yes, I did a verify/repair before posting).

basically it means your install has an issue

did you use Galaxy or off line?
is it installed to c program files?
is the deluxe dlc installed?

have you got a Larian account... when you fire up the Larian launcher does it have a little green dot next to 'MY ACCOUNT" in the top right corner?

is the Larian Launcher version 4.44.97980? [look bottom left

Had the same thing, and it seems like the launcher is not configured to take some basic GOG files into account. Not sure why this is not a more often encountered issue, as this happens in a fresh install (including deluxe edition).

Removing the mentioned files prevents the issue as expected.

```
# File c://users/myname/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Launcher/Cache
Version: 4.1.1.4953010
Platform: galaxy

If you do a scan on this forum you will see that it has been reported repeatedly pretty much since game launch. I (who don't care about multiplayer, achievements, or any sort of extra-pc saving/syncing methods) stopped using the Larian launcher to play at that time and I have never gone back. There are no more mismatches for me.

Unfortunately i got this mismatch error as well and i got no clue why, because most likely there are no integrity issues.

The launcher is a mess, i wish i could start it without the launcher, but unable to find out how i could avoid it. Any clue?

I had in mind the game is "fixed now"; so i got it very late... but it seems still buggy.
