Easy for me. Since the devs decided (without asking me first) to postpone the Germ,an localisation for their last books until some time after release of book 5 I haven't played the game after book 3 and I don't plan to do so. Knowing RTGs priorities and their lack of care about said localisation I would estimate it to arrive earliest in a month or so (probably with many faults like always). So I will download it ONCE and at this time they have probably ironed out most of their bugs as well. I still hate them for their decision (and since they did not even really apologized this will not change in the future) but at least for this point it helped me.

I don't know much about the game or pub/dev at all, although I had both it and the 2 previous games on my wishlist. Other than beta testing it soonish, I probably wont play it right away until I get a copy of The Longest Journey, and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and play them first. I'd also prefer postponing playing it until the updates smooth out and it stabilizes as well.

True. Interesting fact, I requested it like that a while ago and the one that shows up in my library now is different.

Trying to free up hard disk space by deleting old cruft and doing some house cleaning on my disks and I discovered I still have some of my old original copies of GOG game downloads through GOG Downloader laying around. I've redownloaded my library through GOG Galaxy since January and had been comparing the old and new downloads to see if there are any files missing/new/changed etc. including the bonus extras. There are a number of games that have some notable differences, in particular missing files that don't appear to have been renamed or provided in some other format etc.. I'm not sure if this is in err or on purpose for unknown reasons but I thought I would start pointing out my findings here to try to find out what the deal is.

First game on deck is: Uplink Hacker Elite

The old version downloaded by GOG Downloader has the following files which are not present on the website nor within GOG Galaxy currently:

uplink_developer_cd.zip 36MB
uplink_soundtrack.zip 81MB

Judas - any idea what's up with that?

It's not really new :

edit : oops , i misread , you spoken about the developper cd, i mixed up with the bonus cd,

I'm more curious about whether GOG is aware of this or it is an accidental omission as I've found various problems like this before and all of them were "oops" with a fix following shortly afterword. And if they were removed intentionally, I'm curious what the reason was for doing so (ie: legal copyright issues or otherwise etc.)

Thanks for the reply and speedy at that Judas. :) I figured it was either legal issues out of GOG's control, or a minor screwup that hadn't gotten reported and/or fixed up yet. Fortunately, I have the original files muahhahahahahaaa! :)

Patch 1.80 Hotfix Galactic Civ III

patch_galactic_civilizations3_2.6.1.10.exe

i think the issue for the soundtrack is the one in the notes :

http://vgmdb.net/album/34721

I don't see any reason there, however I can't help but notice credits to Skaven for one song. Wow, I haven't seen that name in EONS. I suspect most people have no idea who that is, but it's kind of cool to see him in the credits for something randomly like this. :) I feel compelled to drop a tribute URL here that very well is older than probably half the people reading this post though hehe.

Behold, some very nostalgic computer art from the old demo scene from 1993, Second Reality by Future Crew, with Skaven on credits for music. Twas one of the most epic things back in 1993:

so i mistaken i searched a bit more and :

in the game subforum (post i linked above) ;

i paste the interesting part from Lin545

"f I am not mistaken whole soundtrack is under free license.

Its not composed by introvision, they just took it for commercial use."

You have the soundtrack in 2 subdirectories in the bonus cd archive. (those are in fact mods)

Any idea what changed in Planescape: Torment and Flatout / Flatout 2 Linux versions?
No changelog. Installer update only?
