love the hide headgear option :)

That is odd. Did you double check that you have no automaton upgrades in that new game?

That mirage dude usually vanishes after a moment if you don't reach him in time. But when you have all the automaton upgrades, he just always vanishes before you have time to reach him. Did you try to reach him at least a couple times to make sure you were just not fast enough? When I started I got the first mirage easily but I think I missed him like 3 times when I tried to catch him the second time.

If you have no automaton upgrades in the new new game but the mirage dude vanishes always too early, or if you have automaton upgrades already in the new new game (not new game plus), I think that needs to be reported to THQ so they can fix it. Either way, file a bug.

Hi. No, totally fresh start, no upgrades and i ran start at him when I saw him. Actually, on my first run though, he wouldn't vanish until after I got the upgrade from him or had all the upgrades.

I see only biomutant 1.4 version for download. Has something happened to 1.5 version? this is the offline installer.

I second this. How do I get the update or is the GOG version still in limbo?

I think I need to install it again on my secondary computer to test this -- soooo... when/if I have time for that. I have a shared living room computer where I installed Biomutant from the offline installers and I was not logged into GOG with my own account. (Didn't check, it's either my wife's or my daughter's account at the moment. We change the living room computer as needed.) After install I think I saw it was version 1.5.1 so it can be the numbers on the offline installers are wrong. But on the other hand I just launched it right now on the living room computer, checked the version and it was 1.6.0. So the auto update via GOG Galaxy 2.0 works even if the user who is currently logged in doesn't have Biomutant.

If I have time I will uninstall, disable GOG Galaxy and/or my network connection and install again from the offline installers. Probably it is 1.4 and auto updates just update it.

I installed it from the offline installer 1.4 without internet connection and without galaxy running. After start from exe in game folder, it showed in game title screen and option menu as version 1.7.0.
So i assume 1.4 offline installer is actually game version 1.7.
