Yeah, that's why the Linux installer is usually twice as big as the Windows one. Surely they could make it so they wouldn't have to include the assets twice, but for now I'll be content with them not including more than one version in an installer. :P


Ooooh... so is GOG sneaking in some 'internal installer updates' here?

I only got 3 of 33 update flags from Apr 25 to Apr 28.
91% of updates have no official update flags.

Some of those updates are real updates, but GOG just too lazy to provide flags.

A rather extensive summary of this last week's updates has been posted in the Weekly Digest thread.

This is the reason why I have a daily script to brute force download all stuff not present on my disk. Afterwards, this scripts scans the download archive and summarizes all changes in a tidy email.

Saves a lot of hassle.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA The following offline installers have also been updated:
-> Ash of Gods: Redemption to version 1.2.27
-> War for the Overworld to version 2.0f9

Linux version only updated to 2.0f4.

To be fair, most of those missing flags are for non-game-changing updates (DOSBox-to-ScummVM changes, or ScummVM upgrades to v2.0), so people is not missing much if they don't know about those.


PS: Funny thing, I just got a flag for Beneath a Steel Sky, which is one of those unflagged updates from last week. Maybe we'll eventually get them all in the coming weeks?

any stardew valley multiplayer beta triggers?

Yeah, I just got that flag, as well.

Same :)
Kyrandia Book 1 and 3 ScummVM 2.0 update flags just arrived.

the updates on my account were working really really well for a month or so then all of the sudden, around the end of last week they just stopped and a have been weird since.

Additional ScummVM 20 update flags for:

The Dig
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Legend of Kyrandia: Book 2 - Hand of Fate
Loom
Sam & Max hit the Road
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Leisure Suit Larry - Love for Sail
Zak McKracken

I am now quite sure these won't be the last update flags today.

GOG staff could always subscribe forum threads and make their works easy.
But you know, GOG staff rarely read forum threads, and often ignore bug reports here.
I think they will discard update flags sooner or later, like what they already did for the past few years.

Why should they? They are the ones DOING these updates so it should be easy for them to add update flags.

I disagree here as well. There are some bug reports here that they have been ignored but at least those important were mostly fixed by Judas when he read about it. The update flags are probably not very high on their priority list so maybe that's why they don't answer to your continuing complaint about them being missing. That still does not make it right but if you'd ask me I think they just prioritize because of limited manpower.

For the past few years? Update flags did not work perfect or even good as long as I can remember. Imo this has neither get better or worse. It's inconsistent - the way it always has been.
