funny enough, version 1.0.2946.0 is online now. sadly, no single patch file yet so i'll have to download the whole client again, but at least i don't need to install galaxy. seems like they're still working, despite saturday.

If I install their client, it goes into a bloody statistic to confirm their believe it is cool to run a client to play games.
And whatever they say, a client with username/password connecting to an online database to get a patch to play a game is DRM for me. It also has an overlay, which may cause problems, extra code is run to monitor you playing for statistics and who knows what else. I hate forced community with friends features or social networks as well.
Aaargh!
I mean seriously, you complain about a login?
How do you download your games from gog.com, do you not log in on the website, do you just download the game files?
It is really mind boggling to see what kind of expectations people have on here.
The funniest thing to me is when people on here then threaten to buy games on Steam instead, as if just installing gog galaxy was worse than buying things on Steam.

can you play games downloaded via gog galaxy offline and without the client? honest question, i never used the service. steam itself is no drm either, but steamworks is.
either way, it makes quite some difference to go on a website to download your games as opposed to installing yet another client. i already have steam, origin, uplay, battlenet and the epic games launcher installed. there's a limit to how many additional applications i'm willing to have on my system and i personally will refrain from installing anything that isn't mandatory for playing a game.

You bugged the game, it looks very dark and downgraded compared to last 1.0 weather, I know bugs are fixed, but why change the color and lights, on 1.0 nights looked so nice and realistic now they are ugly and bright, bring back old weather with fixed bugs thats all.
