Dear GOG any idea when we can expect the new DOS patch 1.0130 released by Larian today from your guys???

You may prefer GOG to hold fire on that one...

And given past updates, it seems only fair to allow a day or two before asking about new patches. Especially since rushing them can result in more problems.

Acc. to the DEVS there is going to be a hotfix today to fix the bugs in 130 patch

How long does it normally take for GoG to get the patch up?

My friend bought the steam version and now we can't play together. I may have to seek a refund if the patch doesn't come out today. This disruption can't keep happening ;s

Steam auto-updates - it used to be possible to disable it (and a very good idea to do so to avoid problem patches) but apparently that option no longer exists. So anyone multiplaying with a Steam version is going to encounter regular version mismatches.

GOG needs time to prepare a new update using files supplied by Larian (or any other developer) and has a clear interest in avoiding those updates that have problems (Eador Master of the Broken World being a key example with shambolic patching from Snowbird). That also allows GOG customers to choose whether to update or not - a major plus when one breaks savegame compatibility like the Blackguards 1.5 update just did.

If multiplaying with your friend is so important, consider getting them a GOG copy and spare them the horror of nerfed elemental resistance. :)

Patch is out now. Good job guys.
