fronzelneekburm: Yup, looks like those online hooks - those that are supposedly keeping the Quake EE from being released here - are still intact.

Grargar: Clearly, it will be updated here in July 2023.

fronzelneekburm: Mathematically sound, but I'd say that's a very generous estimate, considering that Quake Enhanced has a working multiplayer mode and Doom Enhanced doesn't. Implementing multiplayer seems to make waiting times on gog increase exponentially, which means that I wouldn't count on a gog release until somewhere around the year 4.092.529 (though that would imply that ND/Bethesda are already working on a gog build, which they have repeatedly claimed they are not, so even that may be an overly optimistic estimate).

Grargar: Don't sweat the details.

If wet get into them, it's not like it should take 2 years (2.5 if you count the Bethesda.net release) to get the same Unity updates that had no client dependency/features in the first place.

AHF1349: Didn't they scrap that Bethesda Launcher?

Timboli: Annoyingly, after reluctantly installing both the Epic and Steam clients on my wife's Windows 8.1 PC, so I could run the 64 bit version of Quake to get the Addons, they didn't work.

I don't know why Bethesda have to make it so hard, and I have no clue what I need to do now, as I have given permission to everything I could think of in relation to the game and launchers, to get through my Firewall and AV.

It is possible I guess, that the game will only connect to Bethesda.net using Windows 10 or 11. That's my last kind of hope right now, and unfortunately it will be a while before I can attempt that.

I've also read that currently the Addons require an internet connection even to play, something which Steam says they are trying to fix. If true, then no doubt that is one big reason GOG don't yet have the Enhanced version.

I'm tempted to go the pirate route, just to get what I've paid for, and that is ridiculous and should never need to be.

Why the hell can't you just download the Addons via your Steam or Epic account or even Bethesda account as that can be linked to either store. Why is there a need to do it via a menu option in game. So damn stupid as is.

MysterD: About Add-Ons - if you downloaded them, did you try running them in IronWail or QuakeSpasm?

Timboli: Alas Bethesda still fails to connect so I am unable to obtain any of the addons. As I said earlier the only seeming option left to me, is to use a PC with a later version of Windows (10 or 11), which is temporarily not an option for me. If that fails then I will be stumped, probably meaning contacting Bethesda or somesuch ... or getting the addons elsewhere.
