Dreamfall Chapters patch 2.0.2 is out on Steam now. It brings - besides a ton of bug fixes - full German localization and French subtitles.

Is there an ETA for that patch on GoG? My girl-friend really wants to continue but her English is poor, so non-localised version won't be an option.

same question with french subtitles here

i heard it was available on Steam since a couple of days ?

since yesterday, it was a beta before. i think gog needs to build an installer and i think too it will not happen this weekend.

another update after easter.

Arg, too bad...

I hope soon !

If GOG wants to compare with STEAM it must go faster.

Do you mean "compete" ?

Steam/Valve is a lot bigger than GOG with more resources and also a tried and tested client.

GOG are working on the Galaxy client but I don't know how it compares to Steam.

Where possible I'd rather purchase games on GOG than Steam because I want to support GOG, even if it is at the expense of convenience and speed of updates that Steam offers.

From small acorns do great oaks grow.

i was thinking about to write the same, but i thaught 'dont start this topic in here' :)

I have to say i like GOG. They are honest with the No-DRM slogan.
And today that means a lot. We should all support that.

But maybe this series format is not the right thing and it s better to buy these kind of games on steam.
I hope GOG finds a way to handle these things.

There are a two main factors that cause these delays:

1) Getting the files from the developer: If the dev is responsible, this step is quick. If the dev isn't...there's not much GOG can do about it.

2) Repackaging the files for GOG: - In this time, GOG's internal staff decides if the patch would be released in its own installer or if it should recompile a full installer for the newly patched game...or both. This process doesn't take more than an extra day, assuming patches don't release after-hours. If they do, things would only be delayed for, at most, three days.

So, most delays are not GOG's fault. However, GOG is still taking steps in order to streamline this process as much as possible with the soon-to-be-released Galaxy client...assuming you yourself decide to install and use it. The process may never be perfect, but if we are dealing with a dev that doesn't prioritize GOG as much or more as Steam and other vendors, there's not much that can be done.

DISCLAIMER: I am not, in any way, implying that Red Thread Games is doing any such thing. My statements above are just a general example and do not refer to any developer in particular. Thank you.

Out now, great work ! By whomever.

I have a powerful gaming computer, and I have to say; I have never had any problems in playing high graphical games like Dreamfall (even with everything on the highest settings). I've never had to download any patches, and Dreamfall runs perfectly. All these problems that people experience must then be due to hardware incompatibility and this is why it seems, patches are created for lower spec computers!

Even the recommended specs for modern computer games these days are still not enough - a computer's hardware specs needs to be way beyond the programme's needs for complete compatibility!
