I see that Steam users got a free upgrade...

Is said upgrade coming to GOG too?

whats in the steam update?

Wonder if GOG will get an update too.

Anyway, cut and paste info from Steam;

Hi everyone, as part of our 15th Anniversary Celebration, we're updating The Bard's Tale with a new Remastered and Resnarkled Edition. This will be the new standard edition of the game. For those of you who already own The Bard's Tale, no worries! Your version will be updated automatically for free!

The Bard's Tale Remastered & Resnarkled features the following updates:

Updated splash screen and app icon.
Runs at highest desktop resolution by default without bringing up the Graphics settings app.
Graphics settings app updated to no longer incorporate legacy language settings. Instead, the Steam specified language is used which is the preferred method.
Full Steam overlay support (Shift + Tab).
Steam achievements & trading cards.
Additional language support for Italian.
64 bit OS’s no longer crash at startup.

Oh good, I'm not the only wondering this. I don't have the Steam version so hope it becomes a free upgrade here too.

Half their improvements are better Steam integration. Doesn't sound like it'll be on gog any time soon. I also don't see anything specifically about the Linux version. Is there even one any more? The one that's here now broke a while back, and I can't figure out the mesa (or other) change that caused it (waited too long to look, and nearly every contributing factor changed many times since it last worked), and this game never worked in Wine. I guess I mean I don't care, anyway.

Agreed but the non Steam improvements should be enough to get it here specifically this one;

64 bit OS’s no longer crash at startup.

but like you I'm not holding my breath it'll be here any time soon :(

inXile says they'll be bringing it to GOG eventually, but no indication of a timeframe.

Gold star, 01kipper. Thanks for informative response.

I assume it's a play on the word "snarky", meaning something like "even snarkier than before".

If the graphics haven't been redone then it isn't a remaster. And, I really don't get the blurb about it not running on 64-bit OSes--it is (GOG version) running my Win10x64 installation perfectly. Very odd sort of announcement.

I'd just be happy to have the Bard's Tale Trilogy and emulator playable without having to boot the main game.

Did we ever get this update?

No, not as yet.

Apparently there were "business-related" reasons for the lack of a GOG update...
