penumbren: Pretty much. I got VERY wordy in my response and edited it about ten times to keep it very polite. I also pointed out that, per GOG (who would hopefully know!), Galaxy is supposed to be completely optional except for certain games' multiplayer options and has nothing whatsoever do to with upgrading between game editions. I specifically pointed out that the Lords of Xulima upgrade is quite similar to their different editions; I probably should've pointed out Wasteland 2, since that was made by a more comparable company. Oh well.

Then I realized that the person answering their "support" email was their Social Media Manager. *sigh*
Wonderful. So their social media person evidently knows precisely jack shit about what they're responding to.

Kudos to you for trying, at least. Maybe someone who doesn't have their head up their ass will figure out that providing the upgrade options would be a good thing.

tinyE: Now it's telling me "Failure Converting Updates, Reverting Changes"

Been doing that for 20 minutes or so.
Well, if it took an hour and a half to see if the updates would even work, it might take another hour and a half to put everything back in order.
Just how much tentacle anime you got on there for it to sort through, man?!

ElTerprise: Well i personally never had issues DX10/11 but i also used DX9 quite long. But in that cae it is really annoying that the game doesn't give you the choice despite being able to use DX9....
But then again i'm not a huge fan of the DX in general...
9 has always been my go-to. Anything beyond that has the lovely Microsoft stench of upgrades actually being broken downgrade messes.

Well ithat doesn't too bad...i guess you just have to be patient. M$ is really good in slowing down everything connected to updates....

As exemplified by our resident ....uhm Guamanian? (seriously? Guam) ;)
Well i never really noticed big differences between the DX version anyway...might be related to my quite old gpu though....

I would walk away from it and let it try to finish what it's doing, even overnight if needed.
Other wise a safe mode boot (actually 2 in a row).
What version of Windoze?

Feeling any better? I managed 1/2 of a cheese sandwich, first food in 4 days.

Slightly better. Good to hear that you were able to eat at least something :)

Here's how to use safe mode in 7:

Do it TWICE IN A ROW, but let it try to finish what it's doing now first.

Thanks but that won't work because I can't get to the Start button to shut it down to get to safe mode. Right now it's still stuck on reverting changes. I guess I could pull the plug and get to safe mode that way.

Shut it down by choking the power button, i.e. holding it down for 10 seconds.

And the answer is:

"I meant that we currently are unsure why they don't have the option for GOG. We will continue to see if they can do so, we just don't have a definitive answer at this time. Though we do hope that down the line that option will be available to all."

*eyeroll* In other words, "It's not our fault and we don't know anything."
