Reigniting the old flame.

UPDATE: All owners of the game can go ahead and grab the Rum Runner's Pack for free. It adds six new alcohol-themed items and Mirke, a recruitable sidekick that really loves her booze.
If you don't own the Deluxe or Obsidian edition of the game, you can also now purchase the game's Sountrack separately.

Note: If you already own the first Pillars of Eternity on GOG, go to your library and look under Serial Keys. You should see a bonus code which you can use to redeem your Gaun's Pledge DLC for Pillars of Eternity II.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is here, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The sequel to Obsidian's seminal RPG, which brought back all the immersion and attention to detail we remember from the genre's classics, has finally arrived. Introducing naval battle mechanics, a new vast open world, a relationship system that now affects interactions between your companions, and an epic story involving the re-emergence of an old god, it might just become the RPG you'll be replaying for all eternity!

Go for the Deluxe Edition, which includes a Digital P&P Guide, the official OST, the second Volume of the Digital Guidebook and more. You can also grab that stuff separately inside the Explorer's Pack.
Or plan for the future with the Obsidian Edition, which also grants you access to the Season Pass, that contains the first three pieces of planned DLC.

For all those experiencing download problems (greyed out buttons) please try account refresh first:

https://www.gog.com/account/refresh

EDIT: single account refresh will work, please avoid refreshing the account multiple times. There is a slight lag due to the sheer amount of requests, but we are working on speeding things up.

Thank you for your patience.

EDIT2: If after refresh and you are using Galaxy Client and on your shelf you have any other version than "Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire", try buying free DLC for POE2 through the Client. That should force client cache refresh.
(DLC should be visible on Overview page [::PIC::])

previous BETA players
please switch from Public Beta to default branch to get the full version

Olauron: The difference between them are the presence (in case of GOG) and absence (in case of Steam) of installers.
A Steam game only qualifies if it works fine without traditional installation. Vast majority of games do not need it. The need for a client to download is not DRM any more than the need for a browser is.

Thanks a lot!
Would be nice if stuff like this would be caught before release...

The way of downloading doesn't matter indeed but games usually don't work properly if copied from computer to computer as is without installation (for example, game may need register keys or configured ini-file that is done during installation). If the game doen't need it and installation is essentially unpacking an archive then you may call such a game DRM-free on Steam.

I agree. The thread on here only counts games that work perfectly just copying the files. They test them out. The guy above proclaiming Pillars2 is DRM free on Steam might not have done that, granted, so he may be speaking too fast. It's conceivable though.

Someone in GOG team, please help!!!

I pre-ordered the game and downloaded it for MAC. (The three files shown in the picture).
"Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" , "Captain's Footlocker" and "Critical Role Pack".

I installed it, started a new game and after the cinematic introduction, when you have to "walk in the memories purple path", when I reach the end of it and starts loading the next page, it crashes.
The screen stays in black and wont respond. I have to force exit.

I tried lowering the graphics and activate the window option. Downloaded the files again.
Uninstalled and installed once more. And nothing, the problem continues.

It makes no sense, because basically I start "playing"... makes me think that could be a problem of the game itself? or the installer file?

Please, how can I resolve this?
Is the first time I buy a game with you (or any platform in a long time) and I don't know what to do. I don't know very well how this things use to work..

The download started for me, but it's unusually slow. I tried downloading the installers, but the first file -- the 8mb one -- says it's corrupted.

candesco: Steam is DRM itself, so no, it's not DRM free. What you probably mean is that there is no additional DRM, such as u-play. Some releases on Steam have extra DRM on top of steam. GTAV for example requires a rockstar social account.
If you want to have a totally DRM free release, then it's here on GOG. Nowhere else.
What I mean is that you download the game with Steam but you can play the game without it (even on a different computer offline).
Steam DRM is not mandatory on steam, the steam client is only mandatory for downloads.

But I have.

This is ridiculous - over six hours later and this still hasn't been fixed.

I'm a backer and should have the Ultimate Digital Edition - instead I have nothing. The game appears in my library without any download links.

The official fix doesn't work - I've tried to refresh three times over the last hour and got the "GOG overwhelmed" page each time.

The unofficial fix doesn't work - I can't add the Critical Role Pack to my library because the checkout page says that I don't own the base game.

I refrained from complaining this morning, thinking the problem would be fixed within a short time - but apparently GOG isn't much concerned about preventing backers from being able to play the game. Extremely unprofessional.

Edit: Links appear in library now. Not sure if they work, or if the files are good - it's too late to download them tonight, and I'll have to wait until I have access to a better connection again - probably sometime this weekend since I'm working the next four days.

Thiev, that doesn't work. My installer has been stuck at 9.3g (out of 20g) for at least a half hour, no matter how many times I refresh it. NOW, I need to start over. A whole day lost downloading, another day to look forward to. I don't know how much GOG can do about this, but I hope there's something.

Eh, problem solved: GalaxyClient is the key. :)

So far I wasn't able to start the game, it hangs on startup even with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to its custom libsdl.

UPDATE: Apparently the game statically linked incorrect libsdl somewhere (pretty bad idea). Luckily someone found a proper workaround provided by SDL itself, to set SDL_DYNAMIC_API to the system .so. This worked for me:

SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0

For the first time GOG is making me seriously consider steam.
at fanatical dot com you can grab deadfire for $38 !
I already payed full price for Wasteland 2 and usually GOG has a first day discount after the release which is what I was waiting for and it turned out they didn't do it this time.

I pre-ordered this game via Fig, entered my GOG key into GOG about a week ago, and now in the Galaxy client the game appears in my Library and says it's Ready to Install, but instead of an Install button it has a Buy button.

When I view it on the website, I have all of the options to download it, the DLC, extras, etc.

I've closed and re-opened Galaxy a few times. Pretty disappointing.

Edit: and when I try to download it via web browser, I get a 404 error. Note to self: GOG is not capable of a smooth release. If I want to download a game at release, redeem elsewhere.

Edit 2: It looks like the old GOG Downloader links work.

DLC has to click one by one and update taking so long? GOG seriously?
