Good to hear. :)

Thank you for the help, Grargar.

Something has changed in the way GOG handles cookies. I don't know what, but it now ignores all the cookies sent to it by MaGog. Since quite a bit is dependent on cookies, I have disabled MaGog's updates until I figure out how to work around it (the few things I quickly tried did not work). So for now, no updates.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

*thump*

The end of days is near....but I am quite confident that you will find a way around this.

As long as you provide a big catch-up difflog when you get things working again, I won't panic.

Goes without saying.

Worse come to worst, I'll just disable the updating of cookie-dependent information (primarily regional pricing, regional locking, less giftable, foreign titles, etc.) and re-enable everything else. I hope to be able to return to report in this thread within no more than 24 hours.

Fran Bow got an update:

Changelog for update #5 / GOG-5 (Windows and Mac) / GOG-4 (Linux) (added 15 March 2016):

- Optimization fixes for windows
- Mac and Linux build are up to date with windows build now

Really GOG? Someone (or something, since MaGOG is a different entity) does your job for free and now you disable it? *facepalm*

NOTE! ADD +++ Patch 1.6 (16 March 2016)
NOTE! ADD +++ The new update for Chaos Reborn includes 3 awesome new spells:
NOTE! ADD +++ Air Elemental: A flying, neutral creature which has a unique push attack. When you attack with the Air Elemental it can push any surrounding enemy away. If it falls off the edge of the terrain it will plummet to its doom.
NOTE! ADD +++ Meteor Shower: Rains down a series of meteors at any location. The meteors do not arrive on the turn cast, but in your following turn. Other players know you have cast the spell, but not where it will land. This spell adds an exciting element of bluff and prediction.
NOTE! ADD +++ Crystal Wall: A lawful growth spell that can be used offensively and defensively in various ways. A crystal growth is summoned extending four hexes directly away from the casting wizard. Creatures and wizards can be trapped in the wall, but they also get a defensive benefit from it.
NOTE! ADD +++ We have also replaced the Dispel spell with a button on the creature information display which allows you to dispel any of your summoned entities for a cost of 5 mana points.

NOTE! CHANGED Fear Equation, changelog (http://www.an-ovel.com/downloads/chg/chg_1452681468.htm)
NOTE! ADD +++ Patch 2.0.0 (16th March 2016)
NOTE! ADD +++ "Yes, you read that right! Fear Equation just hit the big 2.0.0. Why the jump from 1.6.0? Well, Fear Equation has received its meatiest update ever – an entirely new game mode called "Blockade"!
NOTE! ADD +++ In this scenario, the military has set up a blockade to the East. Take a squad of military deserters, upgrade your train's weapons and bust through the blockade. But be quick and efficient: if you lose someone, you can't replace them - and in a few weeks, the military will bomb the region.
NOTE! ADD +++ Take charge of a single carriage and 15 military deserters
NOTE! ADD +++ Upgrade the train's weapons and take out the roaming military forces
NOTE! ADD +++ Watch combat unfold in real-time via a new mode on the mission computer
NOTE! ADD +++ Discover secret military documents that provide special bonuses
NOTE! ADD +++ Manage damage to subsystems and prioritise repairs
NOTE! ADD +++ And more...
NOTE! ADD +++ Please note we're still fine-tuning this experimental mode, so expect a balance / bug fix patch or two down the road! We also highly recommended only experienced players tackle Blockade – a strong familiarity with the fundamentals of the game is required to master the scenario.
NOTE! ADD +++ Regarding custom games: Firstly, custom passengers are not shared between game modes. Secondly, you cannot create custom Engineers for the Blockade scenario. Finally, the selection of occupations differs between modes, with Blockade restricted to a small pool of more combat-focused careers."
NOTE! ADD +++ For all the changes in 2.0.0, check out the changelog below:
NOTE! ADD +++
NOTE! ADD +++ Added: New game mode - Blockade. The military has set up a blockade to the East. Take a squad of military deserters, upgrade your train's weapons and bust through the blockade. Note that the original game mode is now called "Salvation".
NOTE! ADD +++ Tweak: Pressing the time acceleration key while in the rear section of the train during the guard phase will automatically put the player into bed.
NOTE! ADD +++ Tweak: Slightly increased the speed of the "falling asleep" animation.
NOTE! ADD +++ Tweak: The player ID card and modifier bundle have been moved to the carriage console.
NOTE! ADD +++ Tweak: The dream log and lottery card are now hidden for carriages containing no passengers.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: (Windows) Reverted volumetric lighting quality to pre-1.6.0 levels.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: Potential issues with holding the carriage console notebook and attempting actions such as moving or accelerating time.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: "NaN" appearing in the loading text during startup.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: The graphics options menu is no longer cut-off on non-16:10 resolutions.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: Map generation elements not being cleaned-up properly on new games.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: A visual issue in Direct3D 9 where UI elements would disappear.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: A few visual issues with map pin placement.
NOTE! ADD +++ Fixed: Workarounds for erroneous damage messages involving the Rewind fear.
NOTE! ADD +++ Performance: Small optimisations to light cookie textures.
NOTE! ADD +++ Performance: Various optimisations to reduce memory and CPU demands.
NOTE! ADD +++
NOTE! ADD +++ It is recommended you start a new game after updating, as saved games may not be compatible between versions.
