Hey Guys,

I'm new here and would like to pre order THE WITCHER 3. But I have a question:
how exactly does this work, will I have the possibility to downelode the Instaler and burn it on a DVD so that I can Instal it when ever I want, with out any use of the Internet? will such an instaler be updatat so that i can downeloade an new installer if a update becomes availibel? or have i just the change to downeloade it once?

thanks and best reguards,

BIG_COOKIE

You will be able to pre-download the installer files, but do NOT burn it until release day, because there will be an additional file needed to run/unlock the game come release day.

Updates will be added to your game shelf, and you may download them any time you wish, as many times as you wish.
Thank you Hickory :-)
but will this additional file be added to the Downeloadeable Installer after release so that it is one big downeloade or do i have to downeloade it seperatly? it is because i think about waiting for the second Charge of the retail Version because ther I'm shure that everything will be on one disc. :-)
I was gonna say cause it says pre load now which is a load of bollox because it wont pre load without the missing files

Wrong the game is preloaded, you just can't launch it. Big difference
Nah by downloading the files seperately, not preloaded as it wouldent install, it would stop at 25 percent saying the file it needed was missing, so no very much not wrong im not a dumbass lol.

I'm having trouble grasping your English, but the game does install; I have it installed. All that happens is at the end of installation it tells you that you need to download a very small file on release day. It does not stop at 25 percent; it does not tell you files are missing; it installs properly.

It's a very small, separate download, required to unlock/run the game.

Did you download all the files seperately from the website or from gog galaxy on your desktop, because from the website there are 7 files to download all being about 4 GB and no those dont install, i installed however the second time around via gog galaxy and everything was fine

I don't have GOG Galaxy. I downloaded and installed the 7 files from the website, and yes, they DO install correctly.
