Fear Platinum base game works fine after applying the fix for it and i'm going to play that first (but have completed it before) but how the heck do you start the two expansions? All I get when I press New Game is the option to choose difficulty for the base game.

I have played all three....when installing Fear Platinum, the GOG installer installed all three games on my PC. (I don't use galaxy, but download directly, so if you used galaxy, I can't help there). It also installed three separate shortcuts on my desktop to access the 3 different expansions/games. If you didn't have this happen, then I can only suggest looking in the games folder on your hard drive and see if the shortcut exes' are there, and then copy them to your desktop if desired. If not there, then save any relevant data/saves, un-install, and re-download and reinstall the game. All three games should install with the single GOG installer. If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact support. Good Luck

Thx for your answer. I did find that when you use Galaxy like I do, you just have one entry for FEAR which just starts up the main game with no options for the expansion. After your reply I did notice that in my start menu under GOG and FEAR that I can access the two expansions but I don't have desktop icons for them so there is that. GOG should really add the two expansions to the client as well.

Ok, cool...you're halfway there then. Go back to that game folder, and if you right-click on the expansion games exe's there, you should have an option to either copy (then paste to desk top), or create shortcut, which should again allow you to place a shortcut on your desktop. I just verified this on my pc. I'm on Win10, but you should still have similar options on different Windows OS's depending what you are running. Glad you found them at least :-D

It's not very intuitive, but in Galaxy you access expansion packs via the 'Extras' menu option.

Damn, you are correct in that in my version of Galaxy I can indeed click on "More" and then click on "Other" and I do have two expansion packs there. But like you said - not very intuitive. But thx for sharing that with me, mate.
