Nice timing -- I finally decided to buy a copy yesterday, when I saw it among the deals of the current sale.

Just one more chapter missing now, correct?

Antimateria: Hope it get's some performance patch eventually because it didn't ran so good last time I tried. I will prob wait for the last chapter to be released to really play it.

tomimt: It has already gotten one in the form of Unity 5 upgrade. It has pretty much doubled framerates for most people. Some have gotten even more.
Are you sure about that ? I haven't seen the game update on my GOG Galaxy since the announcement for the Unity 5, and change log [including the book 4 release log] doesn't state that. Also several days ago people complained about it on the game's FB page ["why Steam got it and GOG didn't], and were replied with "It's coming soon".

I wanted to replay the game from the start, but waiting for Unity 5 before I do. I installed the game and the book 4 update, started the game and everything looks exactly the same :(

Maybe it's just the latest chapter and they haven't implemented it for the first chapters yet ?

EDIT - So I eventually ended up asking on the official forums and the moderator replied that the GOG version earlier chapters do get the Unity 5 update along with book 4. It would've saved me a whole lot of googling and asking around if it was stated in the changelog :<

So I guess that's why the download size was like 18 gigs on galaxy.

At least we all have an clear answer now. =)

In the news section on GOG it says clear "exploring breathtaking environments - now looking and running smoother than ever after the recently implemented engine upgrade to Unity 5."

Nobody reads those all the way through!

Also they might have added that afterwards.. ;)

Yikes! Do I really have to download all 18 gigs?
Posted December 03, 2015
I'm downloading it right now (3.3 gb of 16 GB LOL... with my 7 mb I have to wait a lot)...
I wish that with Unity 5 it will run faster on mac, also I wish that this book it's better than book 3 (I loved both book 1 and 2 but I did not like a lot book 3).

18 GB? That's huge. You might want to download the installer instead of using Galaxy, since it is a lot smaller with "only" about 7.5 GB.

Yay another chapter! :-)

I still don't understand why Galaxy does that. Seems terribly inefficient for both sides -- GOG's servers, as well as the users. What a waste of bandwidth and time.

Well, optimization requires work and considering how long it took the development team to implement the pause function, that might take a whiiiiiiiillllllleeeeee....

The ability to pause and resume downloads? But wasn't that already a standard feature of the minimalistic old GOG downloader client? Y'know, just like the ability to download compressed installers, instead of the unpacked, full size game files. >_>

It's a bit sad if the current Galaxy client lacks basic features, which were already existent in the old downloader years ago. But actually, doesn't Galaxy also allow you to download the installer packages? Pretty sure I read about that in some other threads.

After updating the game i had to unistall it and download it again 18GB + 18GB = 36GB because it wouldn't start, thank god that i have a 300Mbps connection.
