Did the Windows installer get a silent update?

well , last silent update for this one is from the end of january (2014) , otherwise the windows installer should have been marked (recently) as " updated" by mistake as far i know (happends sometimes....) --> checked the installer with the downloader (same hash). Judas should be able to confim this.

Hi DyNaer :)

After my GOG update (probably tomorrow), any chance you can run some checks and make sure I've got all those 'banner' updates, etc. sorted?

I ask 'cos I know you've a lot of games myself and the folk that help me don't have.
TIA :)

i redownloaded all those games : list here -> http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/post2337 (except Jade Empire); all have a timestamp from 2014

Since i didn't get any response from gog about others games i own (250+) -> basically a list, and since it causes troubles with the downloader to check them in the case if the hash has changed i won't do that again . (sorry :( )

all 3 others games safe (timestamp from 2014)

* defender's quest
* shadowrun return
* smugglers v

if i would have a faster connexion , i would probably be more helpfull with your request.

in other hands, if you ask me to compare your spreadsheet with the current list , i could eventually do that. (but probably not before monday)

Any help will be appreciated :)

Yeah, a D.S.T. comparison check would be as good as anything else, I don't know of a case were a silent update also retained the same timestamp.

...and you never know, it might help you find something you've missed updating ;)

TIA

as far i could tell, i never saw a silent update with a same timestamp, however in those cases , almost all the time the same internal build number is used.

i will compare your spreadsheet with the current list (to be sure). as far i can remember all those timestamps have a date from mid-january to end january (2014), maybe a few in the start of february. When it will be done , i'll send you a PM.

i can't do much more in my end , i had some hope GOG, got some more considerations about my request , but i gave up. Thiev & Judas didn't even care to respond if this was possible to get a such list or not (an answer was the minimum i expected) . And since nobody have the professionalism to answer me, i made this public instead through a PM.

Ah, thanks. That's more than good enough for me.

That is exactly what some people want, though. The changes may be trivial, but it provides confidence that you didn't forget to notify about some important update (so it should be an automatic process when files get changed). It also allows for a way to verify downloads are correct by making it possible to maintain a master database of checksums (MD5, etc.); when installers get updated - even for a billboard change - the MD5 changes, so such a database needs to be updated, and right now, that requires manually re-downloading everything.

It would probably also help with finding out whether seperate update installers have been integrated in the "main" download; something which can be quite confusing right now. (Examples: Pid has a higher installer version than the patch, while Legend of Grimrock has a higher patch number - which ones would I need to download and install if I just bought them?)

I just wonder - shouldn't this thread be a sticky one?

Thank you and the rest of the gang at GOG very much for your continued efforts providing improvements and other updates to games like this, it's very much appreciated.
