That's nice. I asked because it is on the list but most complaints for GOG version in Steam Forums and store reviews are that the Pawns system doesn't work here.
I guess I will buy it here on GOG then.

Also heard that the game is grind-heavy without it, is this true?
Thanks.

A bit, yes. And the offline pawns suck. But that's an AI problem. They are just stupid. I don't know whether online pawns are more intelligent.

In the end I didn't rely on pawns and just played the game as solo game. Depending on how you skill your charakter that's entirely possible. Overall it's a good game.

I wasn't quoting GOG. I was saying that I cannot find any 32-bit installers/executables in my GOG copy of Crysis Warhead.

https://www.gog.com/forum/crysis_series/notice_temporary_removal_of_crysis_warhead_32bit_version

The game has been 64-bit-only for years now. The user had likely bought the game and downloaded its offline installer within days of its release here.

Well, then conclusion is that Crysis Warhead build named " 1.1.1.711 (gog-4) " is not 100% DRM-free on specificly 32-bit executable ? ( based on this https://www.gogdb.org/product/1666511461#builds crossreferenced with OP timestamp of the thread you linked https://www.gog.com/forum/crysis_series/notice_temporary_removal_of_crysis_warhead_32bit_version/post1 as well as assumed release timestamp taken from here https://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_crysisr_and_crysis_warheadr_73cda )

Someone should post in that PCGW thread I linked to let them know we solved their case :P
( I can't because I have no PCGW account and no time to make one now )

You go and decide if above research is sufficient to put a note in this thread (relating to SPECIFIC BUILD which many people may still have access to, it would be worth it at least for historical accuracy, if not for mod seeking people sake [who could try to obtain older build for 32-bit executable sake, which you can do by asking support for access to it, or at least some people managed to do exactly that with some other games]).

I added it unter legacy cases, since the 32-bit version currently isn't available anymore.

Ok, good point. I'm convinced. If it contains bonus content that requires online authentication then yes, it is DRM.

Yes, we really need to be encouraging developers, if they really must have pre-order bonuses, to implement them as separately downloadable DLC files, rather than DRM. Although, that's more difficult to do when CDPR is setting a bad example with their own games.

It's strange though. You would think it would be easier for them to implement it as a separate DLC, than having to go to the trouble of coding in server authentication. I guess it would be easier for people to copy it, but hey, that's the DRM mindset for you ...

Ok. You can add build version tho (I did the research and specified the version based on publicly available data) - for accuracy - as well as list usefullness sake.

Done. Thank you!

I'd avoid getting it here: crapcom did it a second time, got the money and ran off; the GOG version is missing a few updates and HD textures, compared to the steam one. I'm not talking out of spite but as a verified GOG owner of the game.

As for the wasteland 3 case, I'm getting tired of pre-order content beng locked behind online auth.

So not only they want our money beforehand and making said content gated to a ceratin frametime, they are also doing this BS and GOG allowing it as of late?

I'm getting tired of this crap.

You are not alone (https://www.gog.com/forum/general/boycotting_gog_2021).

Hello,
I heard somewhere (maybe in this thread even, can't remember.) that some games are updated to the last version using GOG Galaxy installer.

Also, I don't care, personally, about HD textures, so, what does those updates do to the game in practice outside of graphical improvements? Any balancing, improvements in engine for new pcs, etc?
Aren't there any other ways of updating this game, if the update is an important one, like a community patch or something?

May you confirm what's the latest version; GOG Galaxy or site download? That's probably the next game Im going to buy, and I wish to make a good buy.

As said before, I don't care much about multiplayer and the pawns system if you can do it solo, even if it is a little 'grindy'.

Thank you.

GOG version is 1.0.0.18 from June 2017 (both galaxy and offline installer).

Here is one update that seems to have been released on Steam later than that:

Very nice! Thank you for the update. I am happy to see the list shrinking by one game!
