So this game was originally an almost 30gb download, not logged into GOG for a while and Witcher 3 now wants to download an 18gb patch...... wtf?

My current version is 1.08 with all the free DLC, now it seems this patch is 1.0 to 1.10 ad includes a DLC installer.

Why do I need to redownload 2/3 the size of the game to get the 1.09 and 1.10 patches? Do I need to?
Is there not a 1.08 to 1.10 patch? Or a 08 to 09 to 10 patch path I can get?

Great game but the way this game constantly wants huge updates that include content I already have every time I log seems a bit crazy.
Sadly some of us in this world still have data limits and artificial net speeds imposed on us.

Seriously what is up with this that every time I log in I have a massive download waiting?

Don't use GOG Galaxy.

I hear ya! I only get 8Gig internet per month because I live in a rural area and only internet available is Mobile Broadband (which is hell expensive). Any way, GOG Galaxy is still Beta so is still buggy so it's best to download everything manually. You need the patch to 1.11, the free DLC and if you have HoS, you need to also update to the 1.11 version. It's a lot of download I know.

Hickory: Don't use GOG Galaxy.
Same story as @CyniclyPink - using a satellite provider in a rural area : I avoid as much as possible services like Galaxy. And it's very nice that GOG let us an alternative! None of the other games providers let us choose our favorite download method. Yes, I point at you steam, origin, uplay.

However, I hear you OP, this download + 10GB would have been a pain if I had not been able to get those files elsewhere, from another location/ broadband provider.

Thanks GOG :)
