One of the most complex space simulations gets a free expansion--and goes on sale!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/space_rangers_2_reboot]Space Rangers 2: Reboot, an updated version of Space Rangers 2: Dominators with the Reboot expansion, is available for only $3.99 for the next 48 hours.

Some expansions get lost in space, some updates vanish in supermassive black holes, some patches are destroyed in supernova explosions. However, our brave GOG.com Space Exploration department ventures boldly where no being has gone before, discovers Gems, and brings them back to Earth. Back to where they belong--on your gameshelf! Space Rangers 2: Reboot is the full version of Space Rangers 2: Dominators, the game we’ve been selling for more than a year now, with the Reboot expansion added in as well. Because we are who we are, we will not charge you for the expansion: if you already bought Space Rangers 2: Dominators, we've already switched the games on your shelves--download it now!. And if you’re interested in the game and have been waiting for this add-on, you can pick it up now 60% off for the next two days.

Space Rangers 2: Reboot is an eclectic mix of turn-based combat strategy, 4X game, third-person shooter, trade simulation, and arcade shooter. It combines space exploration, real-time strategy, puzzle-solving, and the character development of role-playing games. It’s a game that sounds like it would be an unplayable mess, but that’s far from the truth. The game works--and it works great! The Reboot expansion not only delivers new maps, quests, and game modes, but also introduces bug fixes for some issues in the original Space Rangers 2: Dominators.

Enjoy the ultimate space ranger simulation for only $3.99 for the next 48 hours.

Amazing service and quality as usual GOG thanks very much. You keep making it harder and harder to buy games from anywhere else (w/exceptions for things like the Indy Bundle) because of the stark contrast between how you treat customers and how so many other companies (don't worry I won't list them and rant here ;) ) do.

Thanks, GOG. Not only did you give me the better version of the game for free, but I also can finally play the damn thing now. For whatever reason the game just doesn't play nice with integrated graphics chips in fullscreen, and since there was no option for a window mode in the original version it was a bust when I finally decided to try playing the game a few months back (after buying it in last year's Christmas sale). I was quite disappointed to find that out as I was looking forward to it at the time.

Sure, playing in a window isn't optimal, but at least the game is running now. Thanks again.

I am trying to buy the game but its says I have an error 404 when I try to log out. Same problem as Zoltan999.

Nevermind, used Google Chrome and it worked. But IE doesn't which is strange.

Well, we did have a double release on Tuesday, so let's cut them some slack, shall we? ;)

Thank you for releasing the expansion and giving it for free for those who already bought the previous installment.

An awesome move on GOG´s part!

Glad to know it works in Chrome... no clue what's the issue with IE here - I've forwarded it to the dev team, we'll see what can be done

Zoltan999: Using Internet Explorer 9 Ver. 9.0.8112.16421 Also listed under that: Update Ver. 9.0.6 (KB2675157) My most recent Windows update was this past tuesday the 5th of June. Not sure if that update included a browser update or not, I'll try checking. Yeah, tried checking out with a different game, and the exact same thing happened. Appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have...Thanks. (Don't have a different browser at the this time to try, until now, always been fine with IE...)
As a temporary workaround, can you please try adding the game to cart in Google Chrome or Safari or Firefox? I've forwarded the issue to the dev team, but since tomorrow we have a bank holiday here, I do not know how quickly we can apply a fix...

North: I was one of the people that asked for this Addon to be brought to GOG. Without it, SR2 isn't complete. It was an instant buy the moment I saw the announcement. Thank you GOG.

If you are asking yourself if you should get this game, what I can tell you is that I've enjoyed this series a lot.
I'll chime in here because SR2 is also one of my favorite games. It's one of those "one more turn. OK, still have time for one more planetary quest...*12 hours later* ooohh sunlight...." kind of games for me. This game actually earned me the "Space Rangers expert" at the office because I was quite enthusiastic about it :D.

Have also sent a bug report a few hours back (five or six hours after the promo appeared) with a little more details on when I first encountered the bug. Not sure how fast the changes you do propagate across your servers, but I do hope it can be identified and fixed.
If on the other hand your team hasn't done any changes today, so they have to start digging deeper, don't hesitate to ask us for testing.
Hope to see it fixed soon.

I promised myself I would lay off buying yet more games for a while. Now look what you made me do GOG!!!

Thanks though. This really is an amazing deal. I couldn't resist it.
