This is surprising because I thought that the installer upgrade system was fully automated. Thank you for sharing HaploXar.

it actually is.. Don't know why this time they weren't created...Maybe the update was uploaded as a Beta? Usually Offline installers for Beta patches aren't created. Let's wait for support to see what happens.

So we missed 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 already and now 1.1.0 has been released. I guess GoG is just going to wait until they release their final patch in a couple years before they post it to us non Galaxy users.

They did say they are working on it, tbf its been like 2 weeks. I know it sucks to miss out of patches but I would hold off on being mad or upset for a little longer

EDIT: A few more days have passed and nothing new... hopefully soon
EDIT 2: Well its christmas now and still no fix. But Merry Christmas everyone!
EDIT 3: A new year approaches... maybe I should put in another trouble ticket?
Edit 4: I put in a new trouble ticket..

Offline installers have been just updated to version 1.3.

Just FYI

Im getting confused, but isnt Steam's Version still at 1.1? So they updated the GOG Version before Steam?

I mean i don't mind, im really interested in getting the game here, rather then Steam, but the fear of missing/not getting updates, still is there.

And seeing them make an Update for GOG first, is something i havent seen this far. Normaly it feels like most Devs/Publishers update Steam before anything else.

You are confused I think. I am talking about the offline installers which were up until now dramatically outdated.

As for versioning, gog 1.3 does not mean that the steam version is 1.3 necessary . The same game version could be "called" with different number depending on the platform.

The case with this game was that the game was updated regularly through the steam client and through the Gog Galaxy client. However the Gog offline installers(the client independent installation files) were lagging behind drastically.

Hope I was clear enough :D

Still if what I said sounds like gibberish, feel free to ask :)

P.s. they didn't update the gog version before the steam one.

Heyyyy they did it!! :D

Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks, do you by Chance also know If the Game ist completly DRM Free or does ist have some Kind of drm Like Divinity Original Sin has?

Wanted to get it Here If its really drm Free.

hey,

Don't know what the situation with Divinity Original Sin is in order to compare properly.

With KOH 2 what i know is:

1. Single Player - Fully playable, no game content locked behind some sort of online activation, Gog Galaxy client dependent or what so ever. The game can be installed using both the offline installer or the GOG Galaxy client and after installation can be started without the GOG Galaxy client from the game executable.

2. Multiplayer - game needs to be launched through GOG Galaxy client. There is cross platform multiplayer on pc. Meaning steam and gog (and i guess epic store) owners of the game can play with each other. No LAN support, no Direct IP, No ect.

3. Comparison between gog and steam version of the game (i own both):
The game had so far been updated simultaneously for Steam users and for GOG Galaxy Users (so together for all users using a Client). Gog offline installers users had to wait for some time (little longer then a month) for the latest update the other two user groups got earlier. Gog offline installers missed 2 (i think) game updates during that time and the offline installers were updated to the latest KOH 2 version.



So hope that helps.

Thank you for this complete answer.

I was a bit unsure, because i saw someone writing in another forum post about having to use an thq account or click away some pop ups in the singleplayer of the game. or even data beeing send to thq.

After reading your answer, i think i will get it on GOG. Sure it may happen that i dont get the patches day 1, but if i get them, thats fine with me, mostly i use galaxy atm anyway. But would be cool if GOG would get devs/publishers to patch their games asap so that these always have the same versions as steam does, with or without having to use galaxy and if for some reason they couldnt patch them, they should communicate this a bit better.

Im always trying to find out if games are properly patched before buying them here.

Hopefully the new one comes up soon

Good news! The latest 1.5 update is available also on GOG!
