Or, get this, install gog galaxy, and use it to update your games, with patches 60 mb in size.

Good grief there have been patches! I haven't even seen any notifications. And yes, I agree patches should be just that, patches. I don't want to keep downloading the whole game again and again, especially as I don't have a high speed connection where I live. Every time I have to do it, it takes 3-3.5 hours for all the downloads.

No, the obvious solution is to download the 145MB Galaxy installer, which will put the beta (still beta, after nearly 3 years) software on your machine, so you will then have the opportunity to post one more entry in a long list of "Galaxy ain't working" threads in the main forum.

Because, of course, we're complete dumbasses for thinking that a "stability update" should be a simple patch that updates a few select files and not require yet another download of the entire game.

<not directed at you, of course, but to those who say we should just 'go along to get along' and download the Galaxy beta instead of them providing a patch file, which could be as simple as a .zip file with a readme.txt containing instructions>

I did have Galaxy on my PC for a short while, but realised it didn't offer me anything I wanted and was just acting as an extra layer in the installation process. So I deleted it and reinstalled the game again without it.

I don't know why GOG do some games with patches and others without. Grim Dawn has its patches and you don't have to download the whole game again so why can't they do that with other games?

seriously, they did it again ?

"stability update" ? did it need to redownload the entire graphics/sounds assets for the game again ?
can't such kind of update just patch up/replace the executable, instead of AGAIN shoving 5gb multilangage installer down our throats ?

Titan quest is a cool game, it's nice to have it here ok, it's nice to see support for it too... but i doubt steam user get 5gb/full game downloaded and installed again from scratch for a minor fix that barely concerns the executable only !

this is the kind of nonsense that rather upset me and puzzle me, to say the least !
