Sorry, missed your reply yesterday - the flagging of new replies when one gets more than one in the same thread is also something that needs improvement.
Thanks for your efforts Judas, I'm counting on you letting us know about them - in lack of a better system, I've favorited this thread as to immediately spot any new posts in it.


I get your position and your advice to us to contact support, but do you seriously think it's reasonable to expect every single person affected by a faulty installer to submit a support ticket? I'm sorry but I don't - the number of support tickets can't seriously be regarded as a reliable manner to measure the number of people affected; the number of people affected is by definition the number of people that bought the game in question, period.

See here - did JKHSawyer submit a support ticket? My guess would be that he/ she chose to post in this thread instead.
I am going to sumbnit one for Broken Sword Original just to be on the safe side, but expecting every one and all of us to do so is expecting too much and very customer friendly.
A sticky (thread) in the "General discussion" forum, as already suggested, created and maintained by GOG in which we could report such issues would be ideal.

The closest I could find the wishlist is this one - we either need to upvote it or someone eloquent could make a new entry?

Does this include all Mac games?

Don't the 2.0 installers also make file verify optional and use a different (better) default install location?

Lastly, this comment begs the question what is different sometimes and how would we know?

I am glad you let us know the 2.0 updates process is nearing an end. That is welcome news.

Another FYI:

The Dark Falls 2: Lights Out installer 2.0.0.51 has no digital signature timestamp. The digital signature says it's OK, but there's no information other than the signer name (GOG Limited). It's the only one I've seen like that so far. The others have a time signature and a countersignature.

Dont worry, only nerds use Macs.

/me runs

I didn't think it was anything serious. It was just something I noticed and decided to mention.

I'm also glad that the 2.0 installers will be done for everything soon. Thanks for letting us know.

So when is GOG going to shift to 3.0 installers, which have a triangle shaped shortcut icon?

Thanks a lot for this news!

+1 ;o)

Sweet!

Someone started a new thread yesterday to track which games don't have the new installer yet. For those who wish to keep track over the next month or so, favourite this thread:

Mac games do have installers which was why I asked the question although I did not expect to hear they'd be changed because they are far simpler than the Windows installers.

The Mac installers are just a disk image file that opens up to display the app and a link to the folder to install to which is typically the Applications folder and that is what I've seen the GOG installers do thus far. All the user has to do is drag the app to the link and it gets copied to the appropriate system folder. This results in a nice icon appearing automagically in Launchpad as well on later versions of OS X. I'm not sure what the behavior is for older versions of OS X. When the file copy is done the user just ejects the disk image and good to go.

That's probably more than you wanted to know but in case you were curious once I told they were simple installers, I figured I would explain them. It isn't common but occasionally one does see an installer that actually executes and copies files various places, etc. but normally on a Mac stuff just gets a simple installer or in the case of some retail stores like the Mac App Store and Steam for example, the install is automated following the download of course.
/me runs after you!
