hi I had witcher 3 (retail) and had to get a clean install of my os... now even though the files of the game were present it would not load and gog galaxy was missing. I re installed the game from the cd but now it says waiting for release and does not have my saves or patches.... I have a backup of the file which had my saves.... game was installed to e drive and new install is in f drive...... PLS help me I was very near the end what to do?????????

Download and install the patches either manually or using GoG Galaxy.
Then go to My Documents (or just "Documents").
If you don't have folder "The Witcher 3", then create one. Inside of that folder create new folder with the name "gamesaves". Copy your witcher 3 saves into that folder.
