Once the huge download was finally completed, Galaxy started downloading a first, 2.78 GB patch.

At this rate, we'll never get a chance to start it. ;-)

Anyway, brace yourselves.

That was the Digital DeLuxe Edition Upgrade. That was missing from the initial install.
It was installed as an additional expansion. Those files are also as a separate install in the off-line installer files.

So - No bug patch, and no need for panic...

Ah, thanks! There was no panic, I found that amusing in a way to see a hotfix so soon.

I'd seen reports of people not seeing the Deluxe upgrade and I was wondering if it was due to not deleting their EA files. But so, mystery solved.

a hotfix to get rid of the version number in cutscenes cant come soon enough though

Yeah - It's a bit distracting. Lucky enough they are faint, so not in-your-face like bright white ones, but still...

You can apparently hide it by pressing F10, but I haven't tried yet.

Can confirm that this works ... but it also hides subtitles and other overlay stuff (in game window it hides the minimap as well as the version number).

Agree that it needs a patch to hide the version number always (as an option if people want it there for their streams).
