Hi fmied,

it IS the CD-version with all patches.

And unlike the CD version you do not need to have the CD in the drive, so, yes it has advantages ;)
Another advantage, you have all supported languages included, unlike the CD-version, so you can just use any supported language without trying to find a language pack (our of memory, English, German, French and Spanish).
This makes it also easier for mod-support I found. (just change the bat-file to another language ;) )

I apologize for restarting an old thread, however I had this question as well. I also wondered about patches for the game as I understand there was a as still unpatched 2 GB memory cap glitch that causes the game to eventually crash at some point. Having said that I wondered if the GOG team has addressed that? Anyone know?


I have seen it stated the Steam version has new patches?? And if true why not GOG?

I use the CD version of Empire at War (not gold), last patch was 2006 for XP. Runs on Windows 10 ok, but still crashes. I hate to buy a game that ultimately will do the same thing, plus I already own it, not the same version mind you.

no, the gog version is not better. the disc version can use dedicated gpus like gt 630m and gtx 770m while the gog version can not.
