404, peace not found.

UPDATE: If you've been holding back on the Deluxe edition, you can now choose the bits you want: the Lord of Skulls unit and the Soundtrack + wallpapers pack are now available for purchase separately.

Warhammer 40K: Gladius - Relics of War is now available DRM-free on GOG.com.

When the imperials unearthed a bunch of ancient relics on Gladius Prime, they unwittingly set off a bloody chain of events. An ancient horror now stirs beneath the colonies and the planet soon turns into a chaotic, turn-based arena of brutal conflict between the Astra Militarum, the Orks, the Necrons, and the Space Marines. Face friends or AI opponents in the first 4X turn-based strategy set in the Warhammer 40K universe, and make Gladius your field of glory.

Go for the Deluxe Edition which includes the soundtrack, an exclusive unit, and several epic wallpapers.

DF1871: We know this, we(or at least some of us:) just don't like it. As i said, without support for the Gog Downloader i feel a bit like a 2. class customer. Sure, looking at the wishlist i can understand why gog don't support it anymore, all the different Downloader-topic have low votes...

Gersen: Well when they first announced Galaxy they said that the downloader would be phased out once Galaxy would implement the same feature (i.e. being able to download offline installers). It's already surprising that they kept it around for so long, you cannot really expect them to continue forever to support two clients in parallel just because some peoples don't want to use the new one.

There are a number of third party downloader available (https://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Download_Clients) maybe among them you will find one that you like.

gozer: great, might as well use Steam if GOG is going to push players into using steam-wannabe bloatware client anyway. GOG downloader was fine, Galaxy is ridiculously annoying.

tfishell: You can download backups/installers with Galaxy; it has the same function as the downloader.

Official GOG Downloader support has stopped and realistically there's no going back on that front. If that's a dealbreaker unfortunately, you may have to take your business elsewhere. (I'm not encouraging this, just trying to be realistic)

But it looks like adailabooks might have a solution above?
As i allready wrote :), i know this, i can understand that they stop supporting the downloader and that i downloaded the files as backupfiles. Repeating myself...i just don't like it for several reasons.

@Tfishell i allready wrote this too, i will either adapt or, if i don't find a solution that makes me happy, leave (as i leaved Steam, as i stopped buying EA-products,..)

Thanks to both of you for presenting possible solution(s) but it's not a technicall problem

I'm very sceptical with this game. For an 4x game diplomatic options are missing. I know, this would't necessarily fit into the Warhammer universe but the game looses a lot of depth if you compare it with other 4x games with diplomatic options. This is the reason why I didn't buy it yet.

In the 41st millennium, there is only war.

Very nice release. Not my cup of tea, but it sure seems interesting.

Hope, one day we will see the WH40K: Dawn of War series here on GOG.

Where's Assassin's Creed 2 & 3 at least?
Ah damn, I wanted to write in the weekend promo window.

Neither are on GOG in general.

Of course they aren't, the question is why?

That is a question you must direct to Ubisoft and I'm sure they will give it due attention being the great corporate citizens they are.

Linko90: You do not need Galaxy. The offline installers are on the same page. It's right there under the big blue button.

I can only repeat myself, i don't like galaxy and for the bigger games the downloader was really handy
The only thing you should do is stop buying from GOG if you want them to realise that there are people who are not ok with the way GOG is going with their Galaxy“software“. If you still buy from them, nothing will change for sure.

Offline installers do not require Galaxy. If a user wants to play Gladius but does not wish to use Galaxy, the offline installers are there for them.

You are right, but he said that he wants to download the game neither in Galaxy nor through browser, but wie GOG downloader. If that is what he wants, what would you recommand him to do in order to get his wish as he expressed?

I'd recommend he try Offline Installers, or perhaps explore the before mentioned Gogwiki listed clients. Either are options, with nothing being forced upon anyone.

Yes, it was and it is really a shame that GOG discontinued the support for the Downloader.

But you might give the gogrepo script a try: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gogrepopy_python_script_for_regularly_backing_up_your_purchased_gog_collection_for_full_offline_e/page1

These are good ideas. Everyone will find their ideal way to deal with this.

Yep they can use a third party downloader that supports resuming and it should work as well as it does with other sites, you can get plugins for some of these to do it right within the browser. Firefox on even a pretty average connection seems to download large files well enough.
