Changelog for Internal Update (added 4 May 2018):

* initial resolution changed to 640x480, which is the safest one for the first run

That's incomplete.

I also noticed they've locked in 16-bit color mode in the the compatibility for the executable.

Changelog for Internal Update (added 8 May 2018):

* added fix for missing resolutions in video options

Also seems to have forced overriding DPI scaling.

Where are you getting these changelogs from?

It's a tab in the download page.
So there isn't even a benefit to posting them here, unless they disappear in the future.

Also, over at OpenSWE1R we are also documenting the actual technical changes they do for the main executable (although they might also do patches to their ecosystem: graphics emulation / network emulation / windows settings; we don't document those).

I see, I love the detail you go into with the analyzing.

But for now I'm leaving this game. I wasn't expecting the bugs and issues that have been happing, and the money I speant was to get a working game, which isn't the case. I've refunded for now, hopefully they'll figure it out someday.

Thanks, now I can play at 3440*1440, the game is better with ultrawide monitor.

Since GOG doesn't publicise what version each game sold is at (something they used to do on game pages up until 4-5yrs ago), and devs/pubs rarely do so themselves in the game fora, the changelog thread is a centralised space and quick(er) way for folks to check the current state of a game, especially those looking to make a purchase.

Hell, I just wish I can use any type of controller with this dang cam. It is driving me mad.

Three hotfixes in, two weeks later, and I still can't even play this game. Seriously GOG? This is ridiculous. Never before have I had this kind of trouble with a game I've purchased here before.

Changelog for Internal Update (added 16 May 2018):

* added fix for skybox issue

I assume you've contacted Support and they've been unable to help? Because surely that's what Support is there for, to assist.
