So Had to reinstall my whole laptop again. And when I downloaded W3 and gog galaxy. And try to launch the game it will not update the game. And just says waiting for release. Does anyone know how to get past this? Ty

I also got the same problem. Just bought the game yesterday at a local game store here in the Philippines. after I installed the game the play button is disabled (greyed out). Only solution so far is downloading the needed files manually using the GOG downloader. I will be updating this thread with my reply after everything is downloaded.

From FAQ:

Q.: I installed the game and it is well after 19th May, Galaxy still displays 'Waiting for release' and the 'Play' button is greyed out. What can I do?

A.:
1. Exit Galaxy
2. Open it up again
3. Select the game, click More -> Manage -> Verify/Repair
4. Wait for the patching process to finish
5. Play

woke up this morning after downloading the game from gog. Now gog is acting all buggy and says the witcher is corrupted.
