Larian Studios Forums Dragon Commander Dragon Commander - General Any legal way to get a 1.0.33 patch?

The "DATZ IMPOSSABLE KOMMANDER X 10" is really getting on my nerves. Unfortunately GOG has been very very slow in releasing the 1.0.33 update for us. And I don't want to touch those cracked 1.0.33 patches. I've heard there's a Larian Vault patch that can be used for all versions. How can I get my hands on one? Thanks.

I would suggest that Larian selects the option to be able to release the patch manually on button click after the patch is reviewed/created by the respective distributors, like GOG, but surely Raze tells me now that this is not possible for GOG

wasnt too long ago a patch could be downloaded from various uploaders (fileplanet,patchesscrolls,...) as soon as it was released. wonder what happened to that. what exactly was the downside?
isnt it legal to download the vault patch and upload it somewhere else with public access for example?

Ok I've just beaten the game...and since 1.0.40 is already on Beta I guess I'll take a break (replaying either Divine Divinity or Divinity DKS ;)) and then replay this with better AI and choosing a new wife. And go for a evil route.

I am not familiar with the details of any of Larian's contracts, but I would assume that since GOG always creates their own patches, that developers for new releases can not bypass that process. I have not followed the patch process for any other new games on GOG.

I don't think there is anything illegal, though, about giving the patch to anyone else (presumably nobody with issues then would contact GOG support for something they hadn't officially released yet).
I would assume the downside of making patches more freely available was people contacting support after trying to install the wrong or an unnecessary patch (which could be limited by better error messages), and the added complexity of testing new patches. Or maybe most people just expect to get updates where they got the game, or something.


I used Hash to create some checksum values for the patch (which installed fine here).
