These two titles have been released on Steam recently with new updates.

Have they been updated here?

Have previous owners received the free updates?

Was it GOG themselves who updated these two titles?

*Edit - Demon Stone

GOGdb lists neither Demon Stone nor Dragonshard as having had a recent update.

SNEG is responsible for publishing on Steam, and are the ones that did the updates.

It may come here eventually, but by the looks of it the updates to the Gold box classics have not reached GOG yet.

All information on updates comes from GOGdb. I may be corrected by those having the relevant games on GOG.

uhm, when i watched just now Dragonshard, as did Dragonsphere, Dragon Age Origins and Heroes Chronicles 4, Clash of the Dragons all had a blue dot

changelog indicates an update done on 14 november 2024 for DragonShard

My mistake then

I thought these re-releases on steam were just modded versions of the originals. I don't know if they can update the GOG versions because the publisher is different. I thought if they want they must re-release them as separate entries but then the originals may get removed

What got changed? Why don't you mention this?
Sometimes it seems like people are addicted to updates, no matter what they are. Did they add 3 pixels to the logo? WE NEED DIS!

This is the changelog for Dragonshard and this is the changelog for Demon Stone

Nice! Especially the Demon Stone update.

Has the attachment something to do with this?

A new version of the build, improved for modern operating systems, is available on the "Alternate Version" branch in GOG Galaxy, or via downloadable installers. Go HERE (https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003904358-How-can-I-access-beta-channels?product=gog) for an explanation of how to access beta channels in GOG Galaxy.

Changelog

PLEASE NOTE

Installing this version via Galaxy or offline installer may overwrite your original game files. Backup your saves as a precaution.
----------
That message can be found on both games' store pages.

And the Steam changelogs, that Hirako__ linked to, mention re-releases of these games.

Edit:
There are alternative versions of the games available, under their "Extras", of which I'm pretty sure, weren't there, when I downloaded the latest updates.

Oh wow they added them just in time! Yes these are the updated versions from Steam! And they added them as separate entries which is great!

I'm not seeing anything for them being updated. .what am I missing?

I can see on gogdb for both games offline installers with SNEG mentioned in the version. For Galaxy you have to use the beta channels to get the updates (same place from where you donwgrade games with Galaxy). This is also mentioned on the both games store pages + the changelogs (and make sure to backup your saves!)

I miss that part. Thank you.

That's what I missed. The update is label as Alternate version..
