Already contacted last year without success... They say that is caused by my antivirus, but is not true

Can assume that something that silly as the Jedi Academy update was a legal requirement.
Otherwise, yeah, consistency would be good... I guess it could be done the other way around then, make the version number update but with a clear very visible notification that version X contains only Galaxy-related changes and if you don't use Galaxy with the game, it's bit for bit identical to version Y except the version number and no update is necessary. It'd still catch out those who use scripts to automatically keep their library up to date, but...

Since I looked more into details for some of the games I previously reported, decided to check again Tesla Effect and Darksiders III just to be sure. They are, indeed, the same on both Galaxy and offline installers (only Galaxy related files changed).

Thanks again! I've incorporated all your feedback adding some manual exceptions and refreshed the list today.

The Wizardry 1 remake finally had its offline installer updated, so it's up to date, at least for now.

5. Your list is outdated!
I plan to refresh it roughly once every two weeks (up to a month, when life gets otherwise hectic) so do expect stale data to creep especially into the more recent entries. The general goal here is to track long-time offenders, not to provide an always in-sync list of discrepancies.

I mean... I just updated the list yesterday, and Wizardry is no longer on there, so that means it did indeed get fixed :P. Going forward however, yes, expect less frequent updates and things potentially lagging behind a bit.

It seems offline installers for Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition were updated recently. Tested them and now they seem to be the same as the Galaxy build, so hopefully the game won't appear on the list next time it gets refreshed.

We're down to 92 discrepancies this week, which is good (I'm used to a bit over 100 on average). Newer titles seem to be kept in check. It's a pity there are still a lot of older abandoned entries, with updates stuck in Galaxy-land.

Something very odd is going on with offline installers... seems like last Friday the ghosts of GOGBears past have invaded the GOG servers and have reissued some ancient offline installer versions to replace the later versions...
It strikes me as very odd. For example Hollow Knight got demoted to version 1.3.1.5 for some reason (from the previous 1.5.78.11833a), and it's only one of many...
Happy me to have offline backups of everything, I guess.

Maybe they're testing downgrades for offline installers, to give us options to download older versions as Galaxy users?
Can't say Im too confident though.
Just bought Garou City of the Wolves for its Linux build, and, surprise surprise, the Linux version is terribly outdated, while the Windows version has many settings like control remapping - but the Linux version, doesn't.
They really should get a month of two to focus solely on fixing those discrepancies...
We're grateful for amazing new releases, yes, but, oh well, to fix versions should also be a priority.
