Adventure1: Hi,
I am really bad at technology - being born in the 80's - and I simply cannot figure out how to patch my game, which is the 1296,849 build. I don't know how to re-download the game or use GOG Galaxy. I bought the game here on GOG, also.
Can somebody tell me, step-by-step, how to update/patch my game? All over-technical language will be lost on me. I've read the other questions and responses on the forum, but I still can't figure this out. Please help!

The easiest method to download games from GOG and keeping them up to date for the non tech-savy is GOG Galaxy.
1. You download Galaxy here
2. Install Galaxy anywhere after downloading it and start it from the desktop shortcut or the start menu.
3. Log in to galaxy with your GOG credentials. (Galaxy should prompt for login, if not, it should be in the Menu Dropdown you get when clicking on the logo in the upper left)
4. Select Library from the top bar (next to store)
5. Select the game you want to install (or update in your case)
6. Select the blue "install" button on the game's page.
7. [optional] Select a language (if available) or an install path (you can leave the default, it's just fine)
8. Make sure that Disable Auto-updating is not checked
9. Select Continue und wait for the game to be installed.
10. All games installed this way will automatically update.
THANK YOU!! This completely fixed my problem! Anybody else who is having the same problem, just follow these steps. Thanks again! This game is a new classic, by the way
