Is the game still supported by the developers? On Steam the latest version is 1.0.19 and here we "have to" be content with version 1.0.14.44 (from 2019!)...

Yes it is the problem.

There are a lot of games that are this issue on gog. West of dead are this issue too.

It is a pity. I mean on the one hand I do not understand the developer / publisher. If they offer the games here, then they should maintain them. On the other hand, why gog.com doesn't even intervene and say that they have a valid contract. If they don't update the games regularly then the games will no longer be offered on gog.com, that's simple.

Is there any reason why this game has not been updated? I mean come on i contacted the developer - no response, contacted GoG support and "my request will be forwarded to the team responsible". The developer PR guy is active on steam and not here. Some sort of acknowledgement is really needed. How hard is to push the update here if it has been available on steam since 2019?

Hello,

STEAM version and Gog version have the same exactly contents (Except the Map Editor that is unable because GoG doesn't have Workshop support). This means that any fix or improvement that is added in STEAM version is also included in Gog version but no changing the number of the version. We keep polishing and working in this game.

Regards

No it's not. Not a same, never be a same. I didnt understand what you mean by this, so I hope you didnt think that I'm rude. You mean that any newer version changes related only for Steam Community features?

There is something that we all can be sure for 100%. GOG offline and online GOG Galaxy never have any update. GOG version have one minor and one critical CTD bugs:
- minor is that offline version crash CTD when player click Weakly Challenges in main menu (workshop/steam related menu removed indeed);
- major bug is that game always crash at finale mission finale way - both offline and Galaxy build. Maybe it try to update Steam version statistics without Steam related Dynamic Library required for this.

There is two pre-release build in GOG Galaxy, but 1.0.14 is only one actual release for GOG

@GomezNumantian please could you clarify what you mean by:

"any fix or improvement that is added in STEAM version is also included in Gog version but no changing the number of the version"

does that mean that version 1.0.14.44 (offline and online) contains all of the updates:

Version 1.1.2 (current version on steam)

Thanks for contacting us.

Kind regards

"the most recent updates in Steam that can be applied into GoG version will be added soon"

soon with an actual date or soon HL2 Ep3 tm? :D

Well... I bought the game on Steam just now :(
I would have prefered to use the DRM-free version of the game, but I also want a stable game without missing updates... It's not ideal, but it's the world we live in.

What if you use GOG exe? Or maybe combine it in some other ways (cpy steam to gog or gog to steam)... What if some dll from steam copied\overwrite to GOG?

Probably steam-version crack from LOOTBOX can fix GOG version (but it for 1.0.10 version). More actual cracks from Scene releasers exist - i dont trust them. Especially in case fixing legit version, cause LOOTBOX crack based on goldberg with minimum steam DRM rip-off. Scene's try to maximim DRM rip-off (some probably keep some achiements function to make custum achievements working). And for subj we need some steam function in dll's - that the case.

I dont think steam version cracked properly at all. Without DRM-bugs features like research erasing. Only old LOOTBOX crack... well, actually, there is also for actual version, without replacing any files from game (not exe and not even steam dll), but that not relevant to the topic anyway. And of course no any links. Even links to relevant LOOTBOX google it for yourself.

Yeah sure if one has the know how one could go the "yarr matey path" and get the updated game files. But we paid for the game and expect reasonable support and GoG nor the developers have reacted in any meaningful way except the usual PR stuff. More than a month has passed since the developer's PR guy responded that they will "update the game soon". Soon?

On the other hand you have game developers that have games here on GoG that are still in development or released that have pushed every hotfix and update in mere hours after release, that respond when you contact them and rectify any issues that pop up.

The game on Steam is currently V.1.1.3.

I... Don't mean to tell you what to do with your money, but that's called rewarding bad behavior, and unfortunately it penalizes other people who are trying to do the right thing - which is voting with their money.

Personally, I decided to stop paying a single dime to steam after I became unable to play a game I had bought and paid because it didn't have the latest and greatest update. Which I couldn't download because my internet connection was down.

Because there is no option in steam to say "I don't want the latest and greatest version of the game, I am perfectly fine with what I have, which is working perfectly and has no issues, andhas been working perfectly with no issues for years".

So, the next time you decide to spend money on steam, I would urge you to instead go see a movie. Or buy a disneyflixfox channelstream subscription. Or buy a good bottle of whiskey and get drunk.

Because paying twice for the same game means rewarding bad faith behavior on the part of the developers, and rewarding steam for selling away your rights as a customer.

Sorry if I come off as preaching, but steam really rubs the wrong way, and so do developers who refuse to support their users. I have been asking Ludeon to get me a GOG key for my Rimworld for a while now. I am waiting to buy the expansions until they do. From the looks of it I will be waiting a long time. I still refuse to get a steam key and buy the expansions on steam, however.

Doing the right thing often entails sacrifices. In the grand scheme of things, not playing a game you would probably like is not much of one, but every person who gives money to vavle to continue selling out their users' rights is actively squandering the efforts of those who consciously don't. So.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk :P
