mrkgnao: Serious question: How does one see the changelog for a game one does not own?
<tongue in cheek humour>

By buying the game? ;oP

mrkgnao: It's a pity.

Suppose I read on the forums that some game has a serious issue that affects me, so I decide not to buy it until it is fixed. But I will not know about the fix since I do not have access to the changelog.

There is no real reason to restrict this kind of information only to owners. I recommend adding a link to a game's changelog from the game's page,
That's actually a great point and a fantastic idea. If it's on the wishlist I'll vote for it as well.

blakstar: Sorry to chip in here, and this doesn't apply exclusively to GOG, but sometimes company support can't provide quick answers, because they don't necessarily have all the information themselves.
i don't asked a quick answer ; i only asked an answer ; like thanks, we are looking into it, but i'm aware that gog sometimes losts tickets or some get with low priorities: sometimes i don't even know in whch category i should send a ticket .

gog have the informations themselves , i already sent similar tickets for others titles or problems, and got an answer.

but as i said , some tickets never got any answer.

last point ;, this topic i mention has 9 pages right now , i maintain , i find hard to believe no one at gog didn't notice it....

At any rate, this thread probably got simpler for Judas.

"What did just update?"

"The changelog, of course." :-P

It did actually :)

I just post a changelog and everyone who owns a given game is informed all at once whether they use the forum or not :)

You are welcome to create a wishlist entry. I don't create ones myself. It's against my faith.

OK, I apologize then. I was just playing Devil's advocate, and trying to see it from GOG's side, as well. It can't be easy, trying to keep everyone happy.

MarkoH01: I really wished they would import all my old PMs like they PROMISED (as well as the proper sorting). I want to give them the benifit of the doubt and say that they probably have much to do at the moment ... but not forever. Broken promises would be an ABSOLUTE no-go since I hate lying with a passion!
I certainly hope that is restored. I had conversation history there including things like game keys, and other useful information that I look at form time to time to determine who gifted me something or other useful info. If that's permanently lost I will be rather disappointed without having a way to download a local copy somehow. Hopefully they import the old data into the new system though even if it's offline data for a while.

You can look that up in the order history.

I do for some things I come up with on my own or feel more enthusiastic about, for other stuff like this I may vote for it if it is there already but don't necessarily want to spend 8 hours a day entering things into the wishlist either. :) When I do go look at it, I scroll through other people's items and vote for any that I'd like to see too or which seem like reasonable requests to me even if I'm indifferent about them personally. The wishlist isn't of course a demands-list-with-100%-guarantees-list although some people seem to think it should be, but it does help GOG make decisions so I don't mind using it sometimes. :)

Yeah, that's a great new addition too, but private messages do still contain info that wont show up anywhere else on the website so hopefully they're not bit bucketed. :)

But would it really hurt to post a duplicate of the changelog in the game's forum? That way also people who don't own the game could read about the changes (which may be important to them).

From MaGog's work-in-progress logs:

The language drop down menu for the Beyond Good & Evil™ installer now has only one language listed (Spanish). Before the New Account System (NAS), it had six languages (English+Dutch+French+German+Italian+Spanish). The file itself (a multilingual installer) has not changed.

Gengar78: Not really related, but when are we going to get the Linux version of System Shock 2 that's available on steam?

JudasIscariot: I don't know, sorry :/

For some reason, every time you say NAS, the NSA comes to mind.

Yeah, like the password to my GOGWiki account. I'm locked out at the moment... :$
