Exactly. This is a feature which allows you create and use different user profiles, e.g. for having separate sets of save games (including separate configurations).
On Windows the following path is used: %APPDATA%\CasualBrothers\3Skulls\[
Plus a subdirectory according to your entered user profile name.

When using GOG Galaxy it will just use the GOG User as profile name by default.

This is a great feature!
Another one in the language selection:
Instead of "Polieren" (to polish!) it should say "Polnisch" :-)

I know technically it cant fry the cpu but it comes close :D
thats why i set the max temp to 75 celcius, it will slow down then exit windows / and shutdown the pc cause i dont want to: burn my house and or ruin my pc...

Regarding the game i know the game can be played BUT ( this is a but in caps)
since its a paid for game ( i know it was 5 bucks at this sale) but as long as even 1 cent is paid, it is a paid for game and paid for games should not let us gamers find ways to run a game ...if i wanted to play around with old games for days and trying to get them to run, would not have joined GOG, steam and Gamersgate :D....
1.000's of sites with old do it yourself abandoned games exist ( even 100% virus fee aswell) BUT i dont want to fix games myself that is why i joined several digital online stores: to buy a game install and play....

Havent' had any fun past 2 years, with any game, had either to ask a refund what i dont want to, i joined to expand my library, at GOG Steam and GG ( gamersgate)( and 450 retail games on 200 cd's ( retail shop)

Seems steam client has changed it was bad but has turned out worse, many games i bought were playable without client seems they fixed something so the special text file steam_appid.txt wont work anymore ( a dev talked about it and it should work on several games but they dont work anylonger.

Steam released many patches, almost 2 or 3 times a day ... this is why i fear in a few years Galaxy will be needed, with client you can have so many nice stats, see how long which gamer plays what game... with who, nice statistics, many steam members really love Steam some even like the Galaxy client .
I like to play ofline ,no stats no ip tracking, just single player offline on my desktop .

Anyway i have a few online browsergame accounts , BUT thats a different ball game, i chose to join, and i know what they collect , steam had a client i knew that, gog had optional , but as it will become more popular it b will also become more common, sooner or later it will used by everyone.....
Compare it with a NO you want, , nowadsays NO will become a maybe and before you know its a big yes....

Understandable. Luckily newer CPUS seldom reach that kind of tempereature at all.

Well, you launch the game and click continue when the message appears. I would not call this a hassle. It is unnecessary that this message even appears (and maybe the devs will change this) but imo that's not a hassle at all.

The Steam client has nothing to do with the games you are talking about since those are DRM-free. It might have been that some GAMES have been updated so that the steam_appid trick won't work anymore for them but the client itself has nothing to do with this since you don't even need to have the client installed to run such games. Keep in mind that in such case you could always do a downgrade using the steam console.

I still doubt it - there are far too many GOGers here (and GOG is aware of them) who just want to have their offline installers and they want their games to be DRM-free as well since this is the thing that seperates GOG from steam and other stores. There's no reason for those to still buy on GOG especially since games on steam often are cheaper and regular and fast updates are guaranteed. If Galaxy would ever be mandatory it would harm GOG quite a bit.

And you are not alone here on GOG :)

thanks for the reply :D

i know i am not alone here on GOG...

i had many posts in as many forum in the past 20 years... i am a little forum 'beast' .... thing is every place has its use, let me explain: with GOG i know its DRM free so if something would change that would be schocking, cause once you get used to something changes are always bad :D

Steam is DRM hugging i also knew that before i joined thats why it would be great if everything would stick to what it is and stands for: steam = DRM and steam without it would not be Steam , same goes for GOG but the other way around: GOG is DRM free and a optional client, and thats the way it is best.

A forum is aplace with many members, and thats the way it is meant to be , thousands of different people with different backgrounds , origins, thats what makes a forum so cool, a chnace to discuss things with all kinds of people who all share one common thing we love; gaming, thats why i love forums :D

Btw i managed to get the ja2 game to run.... but i still have some 'CPU spikes'
i had compat set to XP, i set it at W98/ME and it runs, it has some spikes from
nvidia driver help and the audio thing ( forgot the name)

Hey Gualbert,

just downloaded the newest update (Version 1.5.2) and now the game does not even start anymore. I can see the logo and then game goes back to desktop. I uninstalled game, deleted saves and config still unable to fix this. Tried offline installer and Galaxy nothing is working. Prior to the update the game was running.

Windows7/64 Bit - nVidia1060/6GB - i5

I already did send you the logs. I also tried reinstalling every old version and - I absolutely have no idea why - they don't work anymore as well. However nothing crucial changed on my system between I last managed to run the game a few days ago. My anitivirus got updated and I installed two games. So I even uninstalled my antivirus and still the game crashes to desktop shortly after showing the logo. I will try to reinstall graphic drivers now since I really am completely confused right now. You might take a look at the logs but as far as I could see there's nothing in it that would help me :(

Edit:
I just managed to fix my problem - I had to reinstall a certain codec (don't ask me why this was not working anymore cause I don't know). So I was able to start the newest version. Congrats - the German subtitle being different from the audio is fixed. Thank you. I still have some things I am waiting/hoping for but I've sent you these in another mail. Most of those issues were already mentioned here in this thread.

Thank you once again. Getting a reply to a request so fast (at the same day) is something that I appreciate a lot and it shows that you really care about your customers and your game. I am sure you will iron out these small issues.

Great news. Thank you for telling me :)

Hi, do you have any progress on the 4:3 mode?

I did, and therefore my question: Is there a chance that we will see the sequels here as well? :)

Thank you, I'll test it out ASAP! I really appreciate you taking the time to post too.

Wow, I just tested it and wanted to say thanks again!

This has to be the most thorough implementation of aspect ratio options I've ever seen!

Individual settings for the art aspect ratio and the target screen aspect ratio as well as the resolution settings, you can basically account for any combination with that.
I really like how it's possible to set the art to 4:3 but set the display aspect ratio to a wide screen. In effect you've just added widescreen support!

Thank you again!
