Is there any difference between the tech demos included in the extras for (at least) the first three Divinity games? They all have the same title and are each billed as being 310 MB...so unless anyone who's checked them all out can tell me of any differences, I don't want to download and back up all three.

Well, since there aren't exactly hordes of other posters fighting to answer this, and you seem to have been very helpful to others in other threads here in the past, I suppose I might as well just call your post the solution.

Just curious: Are you, or were you at some point, associated with Larian (or one of their publishers)? Or are you simply a well-informed enthusiast? I think I probably saw this asked and answered somewhere in an older thread back when I was looking for info on bugs / compatibility issues / possible problems with DD before I bought it, but I don't really care to hunt the thread(s) down via GOG's horrible search function.

In any case, thanks for the info.

Yes. I joined the Larian forum just after the original release of DD, and hung around long enough that they eventually hired me. That's what finally 'forced' me to join GOG, actually, a couple months later. Before that I was afraid to buy the download version of DD here, or check it out too closely, because I knew what would happen (currently 150 games in my GOG library, most of which are in my backlog rather than played or backups/replacements of disk versions, and more elsewhere thanks to a few topics in the general forum).

For the search function, I sometimes use Google with "site:gog.com" and Divinity as one of the search terms.

Good to know there's someone here who has some "insider knowledge" of these games. It's always helpful when representatives of the devs / publishers have some presence in these forums. Someone had proposed in the GOG staff's "We Are Listening to Your Feedback" thread in the general forum that there should be some special way to identify such users (such as the GOG staffers' blue text); I think that'd be very helpful in cases like this.

As for Googling within a specific domain, yeah, I'm aware that one can do that; I just think it's rather annoying (and should be embarrassing for GOG) that I should have to do that despite the forums having their own dedicated search function. I'm assuming they'll be re-doing the forums sooner or later to better fit in with the store and Galaxy; I hope that when they do, they'll improve search functionality. I know a lot of the more "hard-core" forumites have been complaining about it for ages.

But enough of my mini-rant. Thanks again for your all your help (for both me and others)!

not sure if this is answered on the forums yet , but has anyone manage to make the tech demo work in win7? does it need a "real" graphics cards , not an integrated intel chip?

Yes, it'll work in Win 7. I don't know if it may have an issue with integrated graphics.

it just gives me a black screen, and stays that way. no sound, no nothing.

Well, it is a tech demo, so there was no compatibility testing done for it (GOG added a readme file stating it wouldn't work on some systems).

Try right clicking on the LMK.exe file and running as administrator, or right click, select Properties and switch to the Compatibility tab, and try different options there (compatibility modes, disable display scaling on high DPI settings, etc).

I just reinstalled the demo (as administrator, to d:\games\LMK, though the location shouldn't matter), and had no problem. It should load straight into the game, with the screen centered on the character...

If you have a mouse cursor, is it changed to the game icon?

Do you see or hear anything if you click and hold the left mouse button down? That should move the character, and if necessary recenter the screen focus on him.
