If I re-download the base game will I need the patch? (i.e. was the base game updated too, or just the patch)?

Thanks.

So far, seems the base installer is still the same. It may be updated in a week or two.
Alan Wake was mostly just bug fixes and they also added a "Very Low" graphic setting for people running the game on toasters.

Let me rephrase that:

If you already have the base game downloaded, just download the universal update.

I didn't see your unphrased comment :p I'm mostly thinking of re-installing. One of the advantages of GOG games is the ease of installation. No CD swapping and updating. Rather than archive patches, I'd prefer to keep the most recent full version for when I need to reinstall. Thanks. (I thought GOG was good at keeping those updated, but didn't know if it happened right away).

The unphrased comment was pretty much the same thing but I thought it wouldn't communicate clearly what I wanted to say :P

IIRC, we do upgrade the installers but we also release the patches for those who already have the game downloaded and installed and don't feel like downloading a 3-4 GB installer all over again :D

You're welcome! :D
I couldn't find the game update thread, so this will have to do.

Grimrock has a new installer. It must be an update that deletes that pesky duplicate dll from the game folder, so it runs straight away.

yes, it is finally the release of the editor, now somebody needs to make a game without those annoying timed puzzles...
