I just tested Beat Hazard 2 v 1.317 and I can confirm that it now works without an internet connection and without a Galaxy.

It's actually quite fun.

Thanks to GOG and to the devs of the games for making this right. I will edit my opening posts accordingly to prevent scaring potential future customers :)

Been lurking here because I had my eye on this game series too. :P I love it when GOG members bring to light some important issues pertaining to a game and GOG listens and attempts to resolve said issue. This is the way! :) So thanks, MarkoH01 for notifying the community and to king-kunat for being receptive and resolving this "DRM" issue. Much appreciated! :) Because potential shoppers like me do lurk and take notice of these things!

Most thanks to testers ! Those chaters and directors only waiting for results. Please keep this portal Free of DRM in any form. Sometimes I think I am collector but no! I am connoisseur. I will add Beat Hazard 3 to my collection.

Good to hear. I would like to say thanks for the fix, but this shouldn't have been the case in the first place. Heh. =/

Still, I'm going to pick up BH3 then. I already have BH1 and I doubt there is a good reason to get BH2 at this point.

What do we have here??? A review that was posted by a user that criticized the game was deleted. As for now, it is only the review of a bot has left. I knew about such gog's trash politics - to delete reviews that they dislike (even if a review is completely legit). Gog continues its own self-burial in front of gamers (some gamers who I know criticized gog for a lot of reasons - and deleting reviews is one of those gog troubles).

I saw your post and want to ask - is there a need to start galaxy software to play the game? or gog patched it and there is no need to be online and galaxy to play the game?
