pekoeblaze: Yeah, although I ran into problems with some browsers not working with XP any more and some Youtube videos not playing - and, on a side-note I'm glad that I use this site for games (because Steam literally "stopped supporting" XP, even though it worked perfectly fine with XP during the 2000s...) - I guess I got lucky with internet safety back when I was using XP as my main computer's OS.

Space is always the thing though. I mean, I've still got another old XP computer (with a Linux Mint dual-boot) as well as my main PC, but I don't really have room for any extra computers than this. (Edit: But, yes, Windows XP was a really cool OS although - only upgrading to it in 2006, I still used the classic Windows 98-style theme with it LOL!!!!)
About 2 years ago I had a second PC from my neighbor here that had WinXP on it. I can now safely say that GoG installers work on XP without any problems. I've played some Soldier of Fortune and some other games on it until the GPU crapped out :D

Cool :) I was using windows XP when I first started using this site in 2015, and it's cool to hear that the installers still work with XP as recently as a couple of years ago. Sorry to hear about the GPU though.
The game got updated but version 1.9.2. is 4.4 GB and 1.9.3.1 is like 2 GB. Plus, Galaxy refuses to download the installer. There must be something wrong....

Hey Atreyu666.

I unfortunately don't get notified on responses to this forum thread, so apologies for not seeing this until now!

I was able to further optimise the game which has reduced the download and install size dramatically - which explains the drop you're seeing.

The installer appears to be working on my end (Windows), are you still having this issues? If so, please let me know if you're having issues on Windows or Mac GOG Galaxy and I'll look further into it.

Cheers,

Andrew

Oh, I see! But it's very nice to know you're here sometimes and have an open ear for your GoG customers. Thank you for that! :)

That is pretty awesome! I thought something was wrong but in this case I won't worry anymore, thank you!

I use Galaxy under Win10 and I just tried again. The second I start the download of the OL installer (via "Extras" tab), it just fails instantly. See the screenshot attached to this post!

edit: I just noticed that the download size in the Galaxy downloads displays 4 GB instead of 2 GB... Weird...

Always happy to help try fix things :) I would suggest posting in the main We Are Not Alone forum here on GOG, rather than the release thread. I check that once a week .

Hmm. I haven't seen the issue with the offline installer, but I will get in touch with my contacts at GOG and hopefully have a resolution for you soon.

Does the downloading directly from the GOG website work for you?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hey again. I've heard back from GOG support, both support team members have been unable to replicate the issue.

They have asked if you can please get into contact with GOG support via: https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us?product=gog

Apologies that I'm unable to assist further.

Andrew_SBG: Does the downloading directly from the GOG website work for you?
Yes, the website library download works, so the problem is not too urgent. As long as I can install and play the demo, I'm fine :)

Maybe I should refresh my account and try again with Galaxy. It can't be that I'm the only one facing this issue...

__________

EDIT: Okay, I can end this topic now. There was a problem with my Galaxy's database. Someone nice in the forums helped me fix it :)

No need to apologize! Thank you very much for your support.
Let me explain, why this happened...

This is a bug in Galaxy where the local database often doesn't get updated when new offline installers are available.
Since the offline installer of the old version consisted of the exe + two bin files, Galaxy is expecting to download three files but cannot find the third file because the updated offline installer now consists of only two files which leads to the server error.

Thanks for the explanation! I'll keep this in mind if anyone reports the problem in the future :)
