Patrxgt: I've made a post about the miserable state of Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts on this game's forum. For more info, I highly recommend PCGamingWiki sites for both Contracts and Contracts 2, because the way GOG releases of those were handled is wild.
ariaspi: The info on PCGamingWiki regarding the Easy Anti-Cheat in the first game is outdated. Easy Anti-Cheat was removed in version 1.08 -- it's stated in the changelog, and also easily verifiable on gogdb.
Even if EAC is removed we are still missing an important patch that fixes the following:
- Save system issues have been addressed:
- Saves not loaded on September’s patch will be safe to load on the new build. Players who have not attempted to play the game since then will be safe.
-Saves created on the September patch can be continued on the new October build.
-However, saves loaded on the previous patch released in September are unfortunately gone permanently due to unforeseen corruption issues.
-Removed 20GB of unnecessary textures
-Fixed a language issue where the game would boot in English regardless of the selection made in Steam properties. Now boots in the selected language.
