Can't import Witcher 3 in Galaxy, it wants to download whole game
Apologies if this is the wrong places, but i simply didn't know where to post this. And since it's to do with Witcher 3, i'm hoping this may be ok.
I'm having lots of issues with Galaxy.
I recently bought an SSD, and i wanted to copy over W3 from the HDD (which is now storage) to the SSD. The game on the HDD is fully updated, latest patch, all available DLCs and extras.
But galaxy simply won't play nice.
I have a physical copy of the game, and since i didn't know if i could copy over to the SSD, i installed it again from the CDs. Fine. I knew it would want to download patches, and i thought maybe i can just copy them over, as my net isn't the fastest and i don't want to download again.
A friend told me about the import function, and i thought i'd give it a go.
What i did is, installed the game via physical Cds to the SSD.
Then copied the whole W3 folder from my HDD and pasted it into the same location in the SSD. I chose 'replace' for all files that were the same. All went fine, and going through the folders, everything was the same.
Opened Galaxy, and it wants to download 18gb. I stopped it, and tried to 'import', only it was greyed out.
Then i googled and there is a plus sign at the top left, and that i could do, and chose the W3 folder. I did this, and Galaxy now wanted to download 10gb.
I then found the Galaxy folder, and pointed it to import from there. Good. Now it still wants to download 5gb.
Fine, i let it. But right after, it now wants to download another 18gb!
I decided to start fresh, and uninstalled W3 totally using the control panel feature. I copied and pasted again, from the HDD to my SSD. Opened Galaxy, told it to import from GOG Games, and it said that it can't find any game folders. So i chose the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt folder, and it agreed that indeed, there was a game there.
Goodo, that went fine. Now it wants to download 37gb! With my speed, this is going to take days, and the game is sitting right there on the HDD!
It says 'installing', but also gives a DL speed and says 'downloading'.
What the hell is it doing? And what have i done wrong? I've googled, and checked and read, and it's all no help. Please can someone walk me through the import procedure, please!?
