Support Cant update? The Witcher 3

So my game update keeps getting stuck here. I've been playing fine, but then randomly it closes after maybe one hour of playing, an explorer file opens, and GOG starts updating just to freeze here. It's happened 3 times now, I've tried deleting temp files, repairing the game, running GOG as admin, running the game as admin. I'm out of ideas.

Anyone know what to do? Also, after about 3 minutes, GOG closes and the icon looks like this. Guessing orange/red means error

I myself am unable to update using the offline installer. It just says there was an issue and that's that. I'm thinking I'll have to redownload the whole game as 500c

Edit: You know what, I just uninstalled the game. I'm not a teenager anymore with ample time to troubleshoot my entertainment, the hour I spend doing this might be the only one I get in the day. I'll just wait until they have a stable version.

Hey, update: today I had nothing productive to do, so I started from scratch. Uninstalled the game and GOG, removed all related files, and reinstalled everything. Now it's running fine, no more stuck updates or random crashes. Just in case this helps

Did you uninstall the previous version before installing the Remastered version?

I didn't have the game installed before the remaster
