Myst 5 end of ages edition and Riven got "updated" but when I check the files they are all the same. No changelog at all for Myst 5 and last update in the changelog for Riven from July.
Is this is a joke?

No, seems to be normal for GOG to waste your bandwidth! I regularly see 'updates' that when downloaded are the same as the ones I've already downloaded months before.

It's no joke - occasionally something as simple as a single line (or part of a line) of code is changed, thereby necessitating an update to all players' game copies.

It's not enough to spend the pixels on a patch notes post for something so inconsequential.

Sorry for any inconvenience or anxiety that might cause.

So how is one supposed to know if it is worth downloading the game again if there are no patch notes and don't even change the version of the game to show that it has indeed changed?

If a game shows an update, and you want to keep your game updated, it's worth updating the game.

A change of a file name or other very small adjustment is not going to see patch notes or a version number change.

If you don't want to update the game, you have that choice.

Ok I thought I'd been at this game (both games and development) long enough to have seen it all when it came to ignorant comments, but...these have taken the cake (at least for a very long time now). This is certainly the most empty, disconnected-from-professional-reality excuse I've ever seen on GOG anyway.

I would like to report one thing for Myst 4 Mac version, this game always overheated the Mac's CPU temperature to 100 Celsius degree which is very horrible for MacBook Pro users.

Please fix this issue for all Mac users ASAP : )

Thank you.

Perhaps it is still worth reviewing the versioning method for clarity?

Much better to direct this post to Apple...;) IMO, whether running Windows or OS X, I cannot advise people to game on a laptop--they aren't designed for it--and even the ones that are (supposedly) "gaming laptops" do it poorly in comparison with a dedicated desktop. Frankly, though, I could not advise anyone for whom gaming is a *primary hobby* to do so on OS X or a Linux build, for a variety of sound reasons--IF gaming is something important to you.

That's what update patches are for, just like in the old days.
