It appears that the 2.3.67.3 Patches for Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 Enhanced Editions were released for the Galaxy client 10 days ago back on 21 June 2016. Does any of the staff know when the Standalone Offline 2.3.67.3 Patches & Updated Installers will be available for download?

Still using 1.3 here, but really? This !optional! Galaxy now gets more attention then the normal game-space? Dont become evil, GOG!

Maybe mail to support, dear TE. I doubt, that staff is reading every post in forum ;)

Is there a difference in patches?

Standalone version has been out for awhile...

This is the verbatim text of the e-mail response I received from support a half hour ago.

"Hello,

I am sorry about the late reply.

We are not planning on releasing a standalone patch for Baldur's Gate 1/2. I apologise for inconvenience.
Please use GOG Galaxy client if you want your game to be updated to the latest version: https://www.gog.com/galaxy.

Regards,
Cycu,
GOG.com Support
This answer concerns ticket number 57UR0DJY, which is now closed.
You can reply to this e-mail to reopen the ticket."

I wonder if it's safe to assume the "optional" client is no longer optional...

It's quite telling that (as far as I am aware) this has only happened on a Beamdog product. I know of no other game in GOG's catalog that requires Galaxy for updates.

Seriously?! Just checked my account, and yes, no updated version as normal download. I dont want Galaxy, and it was always said, it is not mandatory, just an extra feature. And now this? I hope this ist just a mistake and they bring updated versions as normal downloads in my account library too. And if this BS is only bcs of Beamdog - shame on them. Shame shame shame. They are not even able to provide stand-alone patches for ppl who bought their games on DVD. And I wont even start to speak about Dragonsiege ... This company is losing more and more their credibility for me...

A mandatory Galaxy client to get patches, or maybe to download their games at all - bye bye, GOG. It would be sad, but i will not support such things. When I remeber, how GOG started - it was such a refreshing, uncomplicated thing in all this steam-infested, DRM-wired game market, but now i am afraid they might lose course.

This just sums it up perfectly - couldn't agree more :(

I backed up my install files to an external HD today so I won't have to re-download them if I get a new computer. Noticed new file for BG2 Enhanced Edition. So, like a dummy, I deleted the old file first and then couldn't DL the new one. GoG technical support page said I HAD to use Galaxy. So, technically, I can't back up the files now. That's a unique DRM isn't it? If I have to start using Galaxy from now on, I will just stick with Steam.

Just double-checked: 2.3.67.3 is now available as normal download for Linux, Windows, and Mac in my account library. Seems they fixed it. I hope it stays this way, and we wont have such quirks anymore.

Not sure who you were talking to, but be firm & explicit that you will not use Galaxy to download the files. As a last resort GOG has supplied people with FTP links to the files in the past. You are trying to download the current installer files, yes?
I haven't had trouble downloading via Firefox for other installers, but if you are getting incomplete downloads you could try down-them-all (something like that), gogrepo.py, etc.

I've got this update for BG2 EE but not for BG1 EE - do you have the update for both games showing in your library?

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition 2.3.67.3 (gog-7) 2.6 GB
Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition 2.3.67.3 (gog-10) 2.1 GB

Incremental updates are listed as well.

It seems that the reason I missed the BG1EE update is that the patch is listed as 2.3.67.2 (gog-7) and is right under the patch listed as 2.3.67.2 (gog-6). It was the gog-7 that helped me spot it. Thanks :)
