ullmanst: when I log in Gog tells me I have updates aviable and I can see the number by my account. I even click on which brings me to my bookshelf and I can even see the games it means. Thing is I do not know how to do the update, please help!

timppu: By downloading again the files which were updated.

If you are talking about the updates that came yesterday, they seemed to be "only" for the extras, like manuals, reference cards, some "making of" video etc. No actual updates to game installers, if I recall correctly.

wpegg: I think if you install the GOG downloader then it will automatically update any games as patches come out.

timppu: Can someone confirm if that really works already (ie. the downloader automatically checks all the GOG installation files and extras in the GOG downloader download directory)? Or does it do the checking only if you try to redownload the files to the same directory where they exist already?

At least I don't think the downloader updates the installed games? At best it checks that the installation files are up to date, but the installation needs to be run again?
Actually, we updated at least three installers and added a patch (all with notifications :D). Giana Sisters(new installer that features version 1.01 of the game), Lucius (patch for previous installers and an all-new installer that includes the patched game), and a new installer for Hotline Miami :D

wpegg: So to clarify on the second piece of text you bolded. Does the downloader patch the installed game, or does it require re-installation (or installation of a patch)? If the former, what if we're playing it at the time?
I think I accidentally bolded the wrong text :D but I'll see what I can find out for you, how's that sound? :D
