Good to have this info here in the forum, too, for easy reference and discussion.

For those that don't know, you can view changelogs in the library now:

GOG website > Account > Library > Victor Vran > More > Changelog This seems to be a common 'feature' in many recent games. I think it should be an optional toggle when starting a new game:

Track player deaths this game? Yes/No

That being said, playing normal difficulty, so far I've only died while attempting some of the ridiculous timed challenges.

Nice to hear! Currently I'm downloading the game. So I've nothing to do by myself and get those bonus items with a SP-profile?
Are these the same bonus items that were criticized at release?

I think so - but i'm not entirely sure. Haven't played the game yet.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully I'll see it. -;

You're welcome. I'm curious about that as well but the message in the library seems pretty clear:

Well it's rather small but Victor Vran got another update:

Patch 2.00 build 150814 (08-17-2015)

fixes some issues with three maps

Ok, after entering the castle all special items that originally were unlocked by entering the reddem key. The key isn't needed anymore. At least in SP-Mode without online account.

That's a great decision from the developer to change this in GOG version.

Thanks for the clarification. That's very good. I appreciate that the developer changed that.

Changelog updated...

One thing might also be worth mentioning. Victor Vran also got its Linux version.

The version number is not v2.1 but v2.03. This number is displayed ingame (lower right corner).
