Venita: Patch 1.04 should be up.
Thank you for your work :)

I personally really appreciate the game and GOG's work. And actual delays (24-48hours ?) are honestly really reasonable (especially for a quality work).

It should be in there but we're confirming with the developer.

Nice!

Unfortunately he didn't fix the bug with the bee house.
I created a bee house, and it simply disappeared before I could collect honey.
It lasted ~7 days. One day I woke up and it was not there anymore.
*Poof!*

Crusism: Edit: HOWEVER, I will state clearly that it's totally alright to share concerns! Just don't, you know, exaggerate them and, rather, you can expound on them clearly so that GOG/ConcernedApe can understand you as an appreciative person and will be more motivated to help you as you can, yeah?

VandalD: Not sure how you got an angry tone out of anyone that's posted here so far. It's been pretty reasonable. I'd appreciate a game that's not an earlier version just because I got it on GOG. So, if the patching system isn't improved, I will take that into account with new game purchases I may make here in the future. And I can understand people wanting a refund so that they can buy the game again on Steam. Telling people to take a break is kind of silly too. The game's new. The people that paid for it want to play it. GOG's system has worked perfectly with the old games I've been buying from them for years, but it does not work so well with new games that are constantly updated.
GoG's always been "behind" with patches, usually by a day, sometimes two. Sometimes it's a bit less than a day. Depends. Unless GoG starts allowing dev's to upload directly, ala Steam, probably isn't going to change much.

Last I knew it was something about the way they do things ... dev's don't give them a patch and GoG immediately uploads it as is, per se. GoG first has do whatever it is to make it compatible with their own installers/software, whatever process that may be. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is what they still do, with Galaxy in particular (I still don't use that). But that was part of the delay in the past I believe.

If a day or two wait is too much for a DRM free version of the game, then reasonable to use Steam. We all have preferences. Myself, when I have a choice, I don't mind a short wait.

Yeah, it's just a preference thing, and that's fine. I realize GOG puts actual work into curating the store and trying to make sure stuff works before their customers download it. I appreciate that and especially not having DRM. It's why I'm buying here in the first place.

terrasin: I'm really disappointed. He uploaded it to GOG earlier today and they never sent out a patch on their end. If it's not up by morning, I'll be issuing a refund and buying on Steam. I hate doing that because I love this company but if they can't find a way to make new games work that need patches and updates in a timely manner, then I'll have to buy elsewhere.
That's pretty asinine. Stand by GOG. They're the best thing we have on the scene so far. Don't let emotion and impatience override ethics.

The delay on patches is still one of the bigger gripes people have with with GOG. Things have to change sooner or later.

Why? Is it really that bad to wait a few days for a patch everyone not only knows, but is guaranteed to get? Whiny people are really annoying, especially if a patch doesn't drop in a couple hours people are screaming for weefunds.

I'll wait a week+ for DRM-free game patches.

Patch 1.05 with the zoom function (it was up for a few hours on Steam but it broke the game's audio) is available as beta version on Steam.

Oh, I'm not whiny at all. And GOG being DRM free has absoluetly nothing to do with this. It's a fact that many people argue for Steam because of faster patching and pick that platform over GOG. Devs are not even able to directly pull broken patches (yeah, I know that shouldn't happen in the first place) on GOG.

And as I said this problem is very evident when it comes to cross platform/store multiplayer. Even the smallest delay of a patch is quite annoying when you're playing games like Divinity Original Sin via online coop with a Steam user.

I understand why GOG is still controlling the deployment of patches since they're providing tech support (which was a very good thing for the classic games here and still is) but I absolutely believe that they should review this policy.

And yes, the general situation is not only GOG's fault. There are several devs around who don't provide game updates on time via Humble Store or GOG. Sometimes they have good reasons, sometimes not so much and sometimes they are simply lazy. Anyway, SV dev ConcernedApe is doing a perfect job here and GOG is providing the updates as fast as possible considering the current method of deployment.
