With Halloween coming up next month I was curious did GOG get the 4 Days of Night Halloween Event last year? Or was it only for Steam?
I hope they do something like that this year it sounds like it would be quite a bit of fun. It would also force me out of comfort zone, I hate and avoid doing anything outside at night.

yep it was on here

Not sure if this works but if you still have the 0.371 installer it might be possible to play it again (in case there isn't such event this year).

I hope the GOG version gets updated in time if they are planning on doing such an event this year.

If Hinterland is planning to do an event this year, check here at the same release time for other platforms, but expect at least a 6-hour delay.
GOG, while great in many ways, does put a few limitations on developers, and updates, that Steam does not.

While that's true, because GOG tests games within 24 hours after the devs have uploaded it, TLD updates have been released with delay by the devs themselves.
From what I remember from last year the Halloween event update got released at the same time everywhere (so was uploaded earlier and had a planned release).

According to the October Dev thing on Steam, 4 Days of Night will be for Steam only this year. Something about them being worried about it interfering with things they are working on. :(

At least there is the upcoming sandbox update to look forward too I guess.

I installed all my games with Galaxy so I don't have that option unforunately Blinkin89.

On a slightly awkward note I forgot to "subscribe" to this discussion so I never got notified or saw responses till now.

I'm sad to hear this Shadowhawk85.
I use Galaxy too (it's great!) but download every installer because I'm crazy.
Maybe the devs can re-release this old version on GOG, although it wouldn't work with new saves of course.. :/

I just the video about Four Days of Night being only for Steam and I'm pretty bummed. It was awesome that GOG had this event last year. I wish it wasn't so limited this year.

Still I've been enjoying Wintermute a lot and so I'll just continue playing that for now. I would like to see them bring the pumpkin pies back. :)

My apologies for reviving this (effectively) dead thread, but I saw little point in making another thread for the exact same reason, given how little activity there is in the forum here.

The 4 Days of Night event will not be coming to GOG this year either, from the indications.

The attached image is a screen capture of part of the email from Hinterland regarding the event, and particularly notable is that the notice indicates the update is coming to Steam; not PC.
This is highly disappointing, though not all that surprising.

I bought The Long Dark here on GOG mainly because I did not have internet access at home at the time.
Despite the internet access I now have at home still being somewhat limited, I now somewhat regret buying The Long Dark here on GOG, as I am excluded from this event, again.

I could understand the reluctance of Hinterland releasing the 4 Days of Night event on a DRM-free platform, where people could just save an installer and play it again at will any time of the year...
Except, I'm left with the fact that it was done once before, and the thought of "Who cares?"
As I understand it, you can do the same thing on Steam by making a backup of the game during the event, and then installing that version and refusing to update it.

To me, it seems as though Hinterland would prefer if the GOG release disappeared, seemingly ignoring this release much of the time, excluding customers here from this event, and only pushing major patches.

Due to this experience, I may refrain from buying any Hinterland products, regardless of the platform or storefront, in the future.

Yes I'm quite surprised. I mean I expected it to be a Steam only event. Seeing other platforms listed for the event surprised me because they said the want to invest in the new update. I expected GOG to be on there too but we're not. I think this is very unfair.

Making it a Steam only event due to all the difficulties is something I can live with, making it available for most platforms except GOG and windows store seems weird. I mean the release on PS4 is much more hassle than on GOG...

I am a bit surprised when I saw the post on Steam for 4 Days of Night and it listed coming to Playstation I just assumed it was coming to GOG as well. Especially if they were going through the trouble of adding it to Playstation. It is dissapointing and makes me leary of supporting Hinterlands in the future no matter how much I love The Long Dark.

As a side note Humble Bunde monthly included Long Dark in a bundle a while back and I wound up with a Steam copy anyway. I was originally going to give the code away but then I decided I was sick of GOG release either not getting updates for months or in the case of stuff like 4 Days of Night being ignored entirely and activated it.
