According to egosoft hotfixes 2 and 3 were both delivered to GOG at the same time they were pushed to steam, but neither have appeared here. I'm not sure what is keeping GOG from publishing the hotfixes but they need to do better.

See here, we are talking about the "offline backup game installers" aka the standalone installers that do not need GOG Galaxy. Said installers are the ONLY option for Linux, by the way.

Hotfix 4 available for Windows now as was said earlier but Linux still stuck on HF1.

Themken: V 6HF3 available offline now for Windows. For Linux only HF1 :-(
Still no 6.0HF2 to 6.0HF3 Windows offline patch available even 6.0HF3 to 6.0HF4 is added.

Linux have received 6.0HF4 offlines.

I believe they skipped hotfix 3 entirely. (I have been watching the update page like a hawk)

I think hotfix 4 came out quicker than they were able to make their internal patch for hotfix 3.

If you're on hotfix 2, you'll likely have to redownload the entire game to update it.

Wow! HF 5 looks like it finally fixes a lot of very bad bugs.

Yesterday I tried to remind support about this problem. The upgrade patches (offline installers) Hf3->HF4 and HF4->HF5 are no use this way, because you cannot do a full download of HF3 anymore (full offline installers are up to HF5), and if you downloaded the full installers for HF3 (which were available), this is the only way the upgrade patches are usable. I am on HF2, and therefore cannot further update.

I need to fully download HF5 offline installer.

Sadly this happens often on GOG. If you do not use GOG Galaxy (as I do), you often are forced to download the full game again because of such problems. Actually this is a bit silly, since it creates network load for GOG. Luckily X4 is not very big as a full download...

They don't do incremental updates at all for the linux build. Forcing people like me to redownload 25+gb for an update that can fit into a 2.3mb zip file. I made a proof of concept patcher myself that updates hotfix 4 to hotfix 5, and it works fine (the game doesn't consider saves modified or anything after patching, so file checksums check out).

If I had access to the full game files for the windows version of hotfix 3, I could make people a patcher, but GoG don't provide old versions for me to do so.

Hi everybody.

Noob question here: I was playing the first 6.00 on Linux so far, and just saw that HF 5 is available. I get it that you have to redownload the installer to get the latest version, but do you have to do the same with the DLCs?

Thanks.
