I would vote for this since this would probably bring you back (the reason you and magog left in the end were the lootboxes afair). :)

I'll be back...

Speaking of being back... :P


It's been nearly one month since I disappeared without warning from these forums. I'm sorry for the radio silence during all this time, especially after receiving a PM and an e-mail asking if everything was OK on my end. So first and foremost, thanks for your concerns.

I guess I'm okay. Physically, I mean. Mentally, I haven't been okay for some time. For too long, in fact. Many things in my life weren't going the way I wanted or wished they were going, and I finally decided to take some action. Serendipity had it that the very day I was moving to another city, GOG "treated" us with their latest Good News™. Now, in other circumstances I simply would've been mad for a while and then carry on, but in that case those news acted like the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, as well as my will to keep caring about GOG.

I've waited a couple of weeks before saying anything, in case I changed my mind and reconsidered my position, but sadly I haven't. I stepped into mrkgnao's shoes back in 2016 when he decided to stop posting MaGog's logs here in the forum, as I saw it as an interesting programming project and a necessary service for the community --one that should have been provided by GOG itself from the start, of course-- and probably also as a way to occupy my mind and avoid thinking about my personal issues. Once I got it running I almost immediately started making plans to create my own "Mini-MaGog" so I could track every GOG game and not only those within MaGog's legacy mode scope.

Fast forward to one month ago: needless to say, I never really threw myself into that bigger project. Truth be told, I never even fully refined the comparatively simpler parsing script and each night I was losing too much time manually editing its reports so I could post them to the forum, making it all the more like a chore to me. Also, and during that time, other sources of updates information appeared like e.g. Yepoleb's GOGdb, which rendered my reports mostly redundant (with the unfortunate exception of regional pricing, and the extra details about installer files).

So yeah, I'm stepping out of here. I still care about good games -old and new alike- and about DRM-freedom, so I will keep buying here as long as it's not regionally priced above the US tag. But I won't be checking the forums as often as I used to, and I obviously won't be posting any more update reports. If anyone wants to take the baton, please be my guest[*], though you all have been doing a nice job these last few weeks. Alternatively, and since he already has the infrastructure in place, you can "encourage" WinterSnowfall to broaden the scope of his reports so they now include all the games. :P

I don't completely rule out the possibility to be active again on the forum in the future but many things will have to change for that, both on GOG's end and on mine. Since then, so long and thanks for all the fish. :)



[*] The same goes for my other "tracking thread". Feel free to create a new one to keep track of non-Windows versions of games stealthily added by GOG.

Welcome back to the forums, posting game updates or not - I am glad that you are fine.

Hey hey !

It's sad to hear all of that.

But I'm just glad that everything is all right with you ! =)

Hey, you're back !
I'm happy to hear you're going not too bad, we were worried for you around there.

All you said is sad, of course, but the most important is that you do what you really want/need, and that you're going well. So, glad to see you back, even without posting updates ;)
I really wish that things will improve for you and go more in a way you hope, and that you'll be fine and happy !

And a big thank you, again, for all the things you made :)

(but I'll miss the little_helper too ;P)

Take care and I'm glad you're OK(ish). You had us scared for a while, you know. :)

Astrox Imperium We. The Revolution Truberbrook

Planetary Dustoff The following offline installers have also been updated:
-> Low Magic Age to version 0.91.06
-> Undead Horde to version 0.9.0.8
-> The Walking Dead: The Final Season to version Episode 4 (152.102.123.34)
-> Wizard of Legend to version 1.10 (Windows installer) -> weird update, since we were on version 1.1 already... perhaps it's just a hotfix?

Can't promise anything yet, but perhaps I'll do that sometime in the future... things are not all well in WinterSnowfall-land either, so we'll see :). I'll keep tracking the non-MaGog-tracked entries as usual, it's all I can do at the moment.

I know it's not a lot, but you have my best wishes too ;)

Good to hear that you're OK physically, sorry to hear that you're not mentally which is as important and often crucial to being physically OK.

While it's sad to hear that you're stepping down and won't be around, doing what's best for you takes precedence, and I hope that the action you've taken will pay off, and you'll be content/happy sooner than later.

Take care, and thanks for all your hard work and contributions to the community. You will be missed.

Fight'N Rage

Changelog for update 190322 (added 22 March 2019)

I have updated the game again, now old unknow joystick must work again! So, if you have a downgrade version, I reccomend to back to the normal version. =) You may need to reconfigure some devices at the settings menu, but now, joystick recognition must be better or equals than older versions!

[Major New Features]

Melee combat animations have been updated to feel more responsive and snappy. In some cases, the hit call occurs slightly faster than before, but overall animation timings remain the same as before and this change has no impact on the speed of attacks.

Improved weapon trails visible during weapon attacks, particularly with magic weapons.

Fixed a crash which could sometimes occur when joining multiplayer games using a 32 bit client.
Fixed a crash which could occur when rendering Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai/Vietnamese fonts.
Fixed an issue where monsters would sometimes begin rapid-firing their skills like some sort of bullet-hell game. We put them back in the correct genre.
Fixed a crash which could occur when joining a multiplayer server using an incorrect password.


[Game]

Fixed a bug where pets (and monsters) would sometimes try to attack enemies which should not normally be targeted.
Exorcised the Depraved Sanctuary door so that it no longer appears open when it is in fact not.

Grim Dawn Update 1.1.1.1 Hotfix 1 (27 March 2019)

Tech

Fixed a crash on launch caused by the presence of very old Community Translation Packs.
Fixed an issue where creating a Hardcore character for the first time could reset the Softcore Shared Stash.

Animation

Updated melee Blitz Attacks to feel more dynamic and impactful for each weapon type.
Added new charge animations for 2h and Dual-wield melee configurations.

Game

Updated the Hidden Path doors to auto-close after a delay. After they close in this manner, they can be interacted with to reopen. Should hopefully address issues where these doors become permanently closed on subequent visits; but then again these are doors, and doors are the work of Ch'thon and should be stowed away in the Luminari Vault.

Itemization

Summoned Companion Pets (ex. Will'O'Wisp and Hargate's Crystal) are now limited to max 3 pets at a time. These pets no longer collide with other creatures.
Epic - Essence of Beronath: reduced % Attack/Cast Speed to 4%
Epic - Empowered Essence of Beronath: reduced % Attack/Cast Speed to 4% and reduced Elemental damage to 10

Known Issues

In game version displays as 1.1.1.0 instead of 1.1.1.1 Hotfix 1.
