gog is UNABLE to provide working http links to download the game from. they keep telling me to use the downloader... nonononononono. fuck, this is so infuriating.
I've just checked the GOG installer links and they seem to work fine (without the downloader). What is the exact problem you are encountering? (i.e. what error number if one is given). Edit: GOG have added a patch for the 1.0.57 update too.
I've just received the CE box and I agree with the comments about the map (though the labels are in runic rather than Russian). It's no comparison to the maps supplied with the Ultima sets of yore.
However I also requested (and received email confirmation from Larian of) a proper DRM-free DVD. Instead, the DVD received tries to install Steam making it coaster-worthy for anyone running an offline system, or those who want nothing to do with Steam's insecure software and objectionable EULAs.
