waltc: I have to say this is the very first time I've seen Galaxy confused like this. First Galaxy updated me to 2.1.7a, then it reverted back to 2.1.5d. Checking in Galaxy further the latest version now offered under Configure is "2.1.5d 8 months ago"...2.1.7b is nowhere to be found in Galaxy, at the time of this writing.
...but, the manual files are for 2.1.7b...! Bizarre...with over three hundred Galaxy games installed, this is the first time I've seen this. Usually I update and install through Galaxy, and launch the games from their own executables. I only download the manual files for my own backup copy of the games I keep separately from the games themselves, and I won't download the manual files until a game has been patched finally, for the last time (otherwise I'd be constantly downloading manual install files!).
Now I'm wondering if the manual 2.1.7b files I'm downloading now will be replaced!
I really like this game! Far more than I thought I might at first--just my kind of game, actually...;) As I understand, the developer, Owlcat in this case, is responsible for the Galaxy patches whereas GOG does the manual file backups, and usually the Galaxy updates are applied before the same update hits the manual files, as it is GOG who configures the manual download files. Obviously, something is wrong--maybe Owlcat pulled the Galaxy version--in which case it probably means something is out of whack with the manual files, too.
A changelog readme from Owlcat in this forum would not be remiss! I tried to reinstall the game with the manual files twice and Galaxy just auto-updates it to the previous versions. It's quite the oddity. I am moreso confused as to why it's not working for galaxy but seems to be working fine on steam.
