Screw the Preservation Program!

Was just trying to back-up copy my GoG version of Morrowind from the CD to the external hard drive, and found out that the CD got corrupted. So went to GoG to get a new copy, and was all like, please don't be part of the Preservation Program, please don't be part of the Preservation Program, please don't be part of the PP...

And just look at that Morrowind is part of the PP, fuck! (and probably infested with galaxy integration trash files)

Luckily It’s only:
-Validated stability
and an OS requirement nonsense, this thing would still work on windows XP, Vista and 7 right?

I'm still worried about modding compatibility though.



Well with that said, the game i would like gog (or anyone for that matter) to try to fix is BioShock 2, i firmly believe that it's impossible to break it any further (unless it doesn't start after PP).

For Stranglehold I can confirm that the HOR+ FOV fix is now a part of the game by default.

I'm able to select my previously unsupported resolution of 2560x1440 in the video options and I'm also able to change the fov with the F5–F7 keys after installing the game using the new offline installer files.

F5 = Higher FOV, F6 = Lower FOV, F7 = Default FOV

So GOG forgot or just didn't add the notes this time.
Maybe just pirate games.

They are working on that.

I didn't know that. Thank you for the update..

Anyone else unable to redeem the masters of magic promo?

I try to redeem it and it brings me to the checkout to pay for them.

Anybody knows what in gothic 2 gold is the extra called 2.7 Vanilla OpenGothic 1.0.3010 GOG

A source port for better stability under and compatibility with modern OS', if I'm not mistaken.

Also obligatory reminder for GoG about the Gothic Reloaded Mod, as well as Legend of Ahssûn.

The promo is a discount code, not a gift.

This program is a complete disgrace. Why have you been ignoring the problems for 10 months after your "fix" of Dragon Age?

Why can't you leave original offline installers as an alternative?

I agree
Offline installers from before "preservation patch" should be available to non-Galaxy users.

This way when there are broken "preservation" like the one for Dragon Age Origins that in +9 months are abandonned in that state, the user could at least download the (previously) working offline installer and apply whatever patch he wants himself (the 4gb patch in this case) to get the game working correctly

Gothic II Classic (meaning no Night of the Raven) running through OpenGothic open source engine recreation by default, but it also includes regular Gothic II 1.30 that can be launched without OpenGothic.

Oh i never played the original gothic 2 without expansion. I only played the gothic 2 gold with night of the raven expansion.
So yeah the changelog appeared and it says what it is.

The fix for Dragon Age Origins probably (and unfortunately for those affected) isn't that high of a priority because this new preservation program build works for the majority/for most people?

Oh, I love these kinds of responses.

Don't you think most people didn't complain before this fix? The game ran perfectly on windows 10 without any improvements.

And in any case: they can leave previous versions of official installers, and not just ruin the game for those who had everything working fine.
