So in my case the error was not Galaxy itself, but rather a Win10 update messing with my folder settings and blocking Galaxy from accessing it's folders.

To fix it, I went to my GOG Galaxy Folder, right clicked, open Properties, unchecked the box Read Only, waited about 4 minutes while it updated subfolders then, went to each game's folder (The Witcher 3 GoTY, Skid Row Gat Out of Hell, etc) and did the same thing (go to properties and uncheck Read Only, for each game).Īfter doing that I went back to Galaxy and was able to install new games, verify/repair old games, and download updates once again.

It turns out (in my case) the error was caused by a Windows 10 update, that for some unknown reason, changed the security settings of all of my folders on the same harddrive where GOG Galaxy was installed, making the folder "Read Only" thus blocking Galaxy from being able to update already installed games or downloading new games. The solution they found above didn't work for me.īeen trying to verify/repair my games all week, and was getting the same install fail disk access error finally fixed it and now all of my games are updating like normal, no more error here's what I did: I know this is an old thread, but I just found another solution to this problem and thought I would add it for anyone in the future who like me had this problem, searched and found this thread.
If a certain file was made obsolete at some point, or if it requires something else to be installed first, it should refuse work and generate a message about "Newer version detected" or "Incompatible version detected". Some titles have quite a few files that must be individually downloaded and run. The important thing with GOG is not to skip anything. Some common sense rearrangement may be needed occasionally, as file names may not line up perfectly.ģ.) Run each file from top to bottom. whatever_2.0.1.4, whatever_2.0.1.7, whatever_2.1.0.3 etc.) are arranged from least to greatest. Do this until the incremental integers (i.e. Put all files for that program in a folder.Ģ.) Use the properties menu for the folder to "Sort by." -> "Name". As a rule of thumb:ġ.) Download every individual file for the game in question. I prefer this anyway as I can save the actual installation files for future use, and I do almost all of my gaming offline (.have no interest in chat, achievements, or uploading "high scores", etc.) This works much more solidly, but it does require you to sort out / keep up with the GOG system of incremental updates. Personally, I uninstalled Galaxy and just use GOG.com directly. Disable overlay features and try to get the game running in offline mode. Then, check to ensure that all parts of TW3 show up as fully installed / updated. Log out, restart your computer, and log back in by manually entering your name and password. I think things have gotten better, but you may want to ensure it's is fully up to date. I found Galaxy to be very temperamental in practice. (I have TW3 on Steam, so I can only help up to a point.) Here's what I can offer based on my own experience with GOG over the years.
