There was a blue sign on the Elex tile under my games which would mean there is an update available, but when I selected it, there is no update to be downloaded :(

hmm, don't see that, sadly...

Yeah i noticed the blue dot that but nothing is there

@GOG: Your silence on this topic both in this sub-forum and the news thread is really poor. I thought you wanted to improve communication and bring it back to the level which we used to have like 2-3 years ago.

You only have a handful of big day-one-releases every year. Elex is one of them, featured with a big banner on the homepage, but you don't seem to care.

All we know is that the version number of the exe differs from Steam. Does that 100% guarantee that the day-one-patch is not included? No, it doesn't. But we would like to hear something about it from you. Is the patch included? If not, when do you intend do update the game?

Verify game files.

I just downloaded 16mb.

It still says 1.0 though. However the last 5 times I verified the game it didn't download anything.


EDIT: NM
It just downloaded the intro files that I disabled. :/

Based on the information in the internet, the size of the patch (1.01 ?) is around 5GB. So thats quite a monster!

Nope.
1) The patch may overwrite lots of data, so that original size + patch size is not equal to total size after patching
2) GOGs installer is larger because the speech files for more than one language are included.

I guess there would still be some difference but since there are more speech files (I didn't know about that) we can't really use that method. Oh well, still waiting for official response :)

Well, one might ask someone with a Steam account to list and checksum the game folder.

(MD5 sums of the GOG 1.0 release, without the GOG specific files and the data/ini/ConfigDefault.xml that depends on the language you installed)

Well, as GOG version is DRM free while STEAM version uses DRM I don't think you can compare it that easily. As the .exe itself will differ too.

Anyway, I wanted to wait to buy ELEX. I've been waiting to see, if people complain about the story getting lame while progressing in the story. Just like it happend in Risen, where the story was immersive, but then it began to rush just as PB didn't care to much about it anymore ... possibly they lost ideas or had to hurry because of the release. Never got used to R2 or R3 afterwards. Still unsure, but I was thinking about buying it anyway as people seem to be fine with the game for now.

But reading this topic and seeing there is no reply, neither by GOG or PB, it proves me too wait and not to trust into PB too much. The time where they could rely on my trust because of G1 & G2 is over for me since quite a while.

So GOG 1.0 version comes with patch already added? or we should expect gog to add 1.01 patch file sometime soon??

Nobody seems to know yet. And GOG is silent. Its 3 days already and they were unable to proviede answer to this relative simple question. And weeken is starting so MAYBE at Monday...
(BTW next time i have to choose between GOG and Steam for game distribution this situation will unfluence it greatly... :( )

We already know that the ELEX.exe differs, but I also expect updates in the game data (new or modified files in data/packed/ ).

Patch was just downloaded for me through Galaxy and updated.
