...And too bad if GOG decides in a few weeks to update their installer again. That will be another 8+Gig download thank you...And to think I was that close to getting Steam version.
Isn't this being a bit melodramatic? GOG has offered excellent support for D:OS so far with most patches being implemented within a couple of days of Larian's updates.
The latest hotfix has problems (yes, I can't apply it either) but it uses the same patcher as previous versions and given the number of posters reporting issues at the GOG forum, I don't doubt it will be addressed.
Every other patch works and you can update to 1.107 from the initial release. It isn't in GOG's interest to force repeat downloads (they pay for bandwidth too) so the sensible course of action is to give them a few days before complaining far and wide.
No this isn't being a bit melodramatic at all Stargazer.
This is why:
When I tried to install the latest hotfix via GOG'g downloader I got an error message along the lines of..... your game is the incorrect version. please download another installer.
So GOG is telling me to download their latest 8+gig installer so I can apply the patch.
So how is that being melodramatic? The damn error message is telling me what to do?!
You say that GOG will address this? what proof do you have? I have contacted their support and was given a generic response telling me that I must have missed one of the updates and that made my game un-updateable. Rubbish. I have installed every patch released by GOG since the game was released and I sent them proof of that.
And guess what?...since I sent them them that info I have heard, nothing, nill, zlitch, from them.
So please Stargazer, before you tell me that I am being melodramatic, take a moment to re-read what I have just said. And please keep in mind that doing another 8+gig download will cost me. Perhaps you are not in the situation where bandwidth is a problem.
Good for you but for me it is a problem.
1. First, this is a non issue. Get divinity from GoG.
And I am telling you that it is an issue if you have limited bandwidth. My point is that GOG is the only distributor that can, and apparently will, require you to re-download the whole game again if they decide, for whatever reason, to update their installer.
No other distributor requires that.
For hecks sake.....if you have proof that I am totally wrong then show me and my gratitude to you will abound and I will name my next born after you...if not then please don't criticise me for warning others to a truthful statement.
