It's there, I assure you: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/post16395

It also got added in the X series forum changelog: https://www.gog.com/forum/x_series/changelog/post7

As for muntdefems' posts, I would not worry. Watchful eyes are eagerly seeking anything he might miss, watching for any slight misstep, ready to pounce at the first sign of omission.

Edit: I had a look over what the APIs have to say (macOS only, since Linux is not supported by Galaxy), and it turns out the APIs don't even know of a 3.3 macOS build for X3: TWP! See for yourself. Hats off to MaGog for seeing beyond the glitch.

Let's see:

· The Windows and Linux versions of X3: Terran War Pack were updated to v3.3 on the 25th of April.

· mrkgnao doesn't own that game, so MaGog only has partial information about its installers. Unfortunately, file names are part of this unavailable info.

· On the other hand, I can see the download link, and in that particular update the link for the English Linux installer changed from https://.../en3installer4 to https://.../en3installer5, so my guess is that the latest file mentioned by kbnrylaec is the one I reported one month ago. Dunno why it's marked as updated on 23 May, though (where does that timestamp come from, by the way?)

What WinterSnowfall said in post #16448.

Yes, the update itself is there, but it does not contain all updated files. It reports the updated MacOS installer, but not the updated Linux installer.

Yes, but my posts are about the update for the "Patch 3.3 hotfix" on May 23rd, not about the update for "Patch 3.3" on April 25th.

I knew that MaGog can only detect file changes for games which mrkgnao owns. But apparently MaGog still can detect file changes for games which mrkgnao does not own, at least partially. That's the point I failed to understand. Maybe MaGog detects these changes through the Galaxy API. And that may be the reason why the updated MacOS installer has been reported, but not the updated Linux installer, as Galaxy does not support Linux. So apparently, because of the limits of GOG's API, we might miss updates of Linux files for games which mrkgnao does not own.

No, the file which you have reported one month ago was the update of the Linux installer to "Patch 3.3" (probably en3installer4), not the update to "Patch 3.3 hotfix".

The Linux installer has been updated twice:
- Patch 3.3: gog_x3_terran_war_pack_2.3.0.4.sh on April 25th (en3installer4?)
- Patch 3.3 hotfix: gog_x3_terran_war_pack_2.4.0.5.sh on May 23rd (en3installer5?)

The part which I still do not understand is why MaGog has reported the update of the Linux installer for "Patch 3.3", but not the update for "Patch 3.3 hotfix".

I use wget with cookie to download GOG files.
wget will keep the original timestamp of upsteam files.

because GOG failed to properly update the version entry in the API. It still says '3.3'. File a bug :p
You will only detect the change if you actually download the file and see the changed filename.
(I'm not sure that the changed 'id' field alone ist all that helpful / reliable )

it would be much better if GOG provided filename + md5 checksum in the API information, that would allow to detect these "silent" updates reliably.

You're absolutely right. I got it wrong yesterday, I'm sorry. The change from en3installer4 to en3installer5 for the Linux installer did indeed took place on May 23rd. And MaGog did capture that change, so she's not the one to blame.

The reason I didn't report that change is because, as I said yesterday, the download link is the only thing that changed for the Linux installer (file size and version remaining the same), and my script is currently ignoring such changes. I used to think these kind of updates were spurious and that, even though the link changed, the file was still the same. As it seems this is not the case, so I'll modify my script in order to also report these cases from now on. Sorry for the inconvenience and any missed file updates. :S

In fact, I was aware that sometimes the file sizes reported by both APIs (the one providing limited info for all GOG games, and the one providing full info for GOG games that you own) didn't agree, and I'd bet the file size did change after the May 23rd update (can anyone confirm it, please?) but the 'limited API' didn't record it.



Anyway, here's today's update from Legacy MaGog:

[CHANGELOG UPDATED] (Full changelog)

Filesize for gog_x3_terran_war_pack_2.3.0.4.sh is 9'982'134'900 Bytes
Filesize for gog_x3_terran_war_pack_2.4.0.5.sh is 9'982'148'793 Bytes
So the filesize did change.

iirc the size reported by http://api.gog.com/ is rounded to full megabytes boundaries, even though it is report in bytes.

//edit:
in bytes, not in kilobytes

Thanks! :)


Nope, both APIs report file sizes in bytes. And it doesn't look like it rounds them to full MBs, as e.g. the aforementioned Linux installer for X3: Terran War Pack has an alleged size of 9,751,756,800 bytes (which incidentally doesn't agree with any of the filesizes reported by Doctor GOGgles :P)

9,751,756,800 / 1024 / 1024 is exactly 9,300
=> rounded
iirc that is always the case (or it was when I last looked)

though in this case the file size is simply wrong it seems. probably forgotten to update along with the version entry

D'oh! Of course you're right, I feel stupid now... :S

well, it is neither obvious nor does it make much sense, so it's ok to overlook it ;)

Factorio also got patched today (Patch 0.15.16)... I guess you'll pick it up in your next update ;).
