It seems there's not standalone patch for linux which is terrible already but I noticed that the size of the new installer is only 7gb whereas the previous version was 20gb?! Are you still making the same rookie mistake you did hours after launch by providing the wrong download link for linux?

I noticed this as well. The site lists the installer as 20GB but both Firefox and lgogdownloader report that it's a 7GB download.
Currently downloading despite my doubts.

Don't bother, it gives an error before even beginning the installation process. Making the same mistake twice in a rwo is ridiculous. Now we just have to wait for them to notice, apologize and fix it, hopefully today.

Hehe, that's funny it happened twice :-)
BTW, will there be updates to reduce the required D/L bandwidth ?
Once the problem is fixed, once downloaded, should I overwrite everything or uninstall & reinstall ?
Cheers !

So... how about an actual patch instead of a massive file that doesn't even work?

I'm thinking a named Imp from the game is running things over here.

That's pretty inconvenient especially because I didn't even get a chance to fully download the previous 20GB file. I'm starting to regret redeeming my backer copy on GoG.

Damn it means you can't even play the game like everyone who didn't download the game before the patch... My next game will be on steam for sure.

Agreed,

Thank you for the patch, but there seems to be a problem with it:

Check, that worked. Apologies.
