wonski: Hello, will be Settlers History Edition available on GOG?
Unlikely: "THE SETTLERS HISTORY COLLECTION, exclusively available via Uplay" - https://www.thesettlers-alliance.com/en/the-settlers-history-edition/

You are not really missing out. I was so silly and bought the History Edition of The Settlers II. It turns out the entire CD music has been cut. Also, old bugs haven't been fixed and new ones have been introduced such as strange problems when creating new paths and a lot of sounds not being played at all. There are already a lot of bugs reports in the official German forum, especially for the classic games 2, 3 and 4.

It looks like the 4th part contains The New World and Community Pack two expansions, prevoiusly only avaliable in Germany:

It would be great if GOG could include those into their build, but as it has been mentioned, chances are slim.

Does anyone know what the differences are between the newly released Settlers 4 History Edition and the GOG version? Not sure which to pickup.

Thanks

The History Edition has support for higher resolutions, dual monitors, two expansion packs that were previously only released in Germany, and Uplay-powered multiplayer.

Thank you for the reply, seems I will have to go for the uplay version! Hopefully they add the extra features to the gog version at some point!

Uplay does come with DRM of its own, though.

Thank you Wolf, I do have a few games on uPlay - hate the DRM and it seems that I have 5 different game launchers... Just to note the German released expansion packs are only in German even if you select English from the config + launcher!

Thanks again

Hm, the main menu seems to show that their titles were translated, as seen here. Do you mean that their briefings etc. are still untouched?

The Main game is translated into English but the New world expansion packc is in German with the briefing text and voice. It has also been noted on the Ubisoft forums but I don't know if they will get this fixed...

Just to note I had also put a ticket about this to uPlay and they said they will forward this on to their development team.

Thank you, please let us know if you get the answer. Can you tell if Uplay client needs to be running and online connection needs to be established in order to run the game?

Hello Sulibor, I have launched uplay in their offline mode(which states "Uplay is in offline mode. Some games and services are only available in online mode. Please enter online mod to access all Uplay features.) and can confirm that Settlers 4 still works in Uplay's offline mode. I tested launching the game up and going into the tutorial.

Hope this helps.
