Brigador: Up-Armored Edition

Updated to v1.65b (Galaxy & Offline Installer, Windows)

Changelog posted by the developer in the game forum:
Updated Visual C++ Redistributables for 2023
February 10 2023

You may notice a brief download for Brigador: Up-Armored Edition if you are on Windows. This is because we have marked the Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 (also includes 2019, 2017 & 2015) on the backend for download. Previously we marked the Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 (also includes 2017 & 2015) on the backend for download.

A redistributable is a library of components required to run Windows applications developed with Microsoft Visual C++, such as the Brigador engine.

Assuming Brigador already runs fine on your computer, no action is required on your part.

No changes to Brigador: Up-Armored Edition have been made (sorry).

BreOl72: I just noticed that I hadn't received an update message for this prologue.

Is this a new feature from GOG?
Because, for the last weeks I always correctly received the update messages again, for all the games I own.

The only difference with this one is, that I hide all the demos/prologues in my account.
So far - update messages would pop up regardless, even for the hidden games, but not for this one.

Has anybody else made the same experience?

I don't mind it - it's just an unexpected addition to the system (if it's added as a general function), and I know at least one person here who'll love it.
Yeah, it's happening again. Their offline backup installers are not giving update notices (at least for me). This happened awhile back. I have a few games that had updates today and zero notification. Back to a third party website and this thread to find out about updates quickly: https://www.gogdb.org/

Can you list which games?

My last flag was on 8 Feb, but then I don't think I own anything that has been updated since (except the Yellow Mask demo).

UPDATE: I just now (10 Feb 23, 20:02 UTC) got a flag for Brigador, so it seems update flags are not gone.

So far, I never received update notices for:

1.) Witcher 3 (for any of the December updates)
2.) Blade Runner Enhanced Edition
3.) Brigador (finally came through today from the Feb 1st update)

I am sure there are others, but I'm not digging through hundreds of games in my library.

AI War 2 has just received another update, taking it from 5.536 to 5.537 for Windows, Mac and Linux.

5.537 Tweaks And Balance
(Released February 10th, 2023)

• Fix a bug if DZ Svikari managed to spawn on a planet with no metal harvesters
• Thanks to Relay Bot for reporting

• Fix a bug with Elderling expansion
• Thanks to Relay Bot for reporting

• DZ Svikari will now contribute (a bit) toward exo war units. Less than they deserve since I don't want to disturb existing balance too much

Balance

• Balance adjustments to some of the Dark Zenith ships within DLC2 that players can steal via hacks. Namely the Human versions of the Spirited Dregil, Skald, and Dreng.
• Amount of cloaking lost when firing has been raised from 20% per shot to 100% per shot. Player copies will thus now immediately break cloak on attacks.
• Dreng have a base albedo of 0.8, however this breaks tachyon when it gains cloaking with the Spirited version. So now both the DZ Spirited version and the human hack version of the Spirited variant have a value of 0.7 albedo instead.

Mods

Sidekicks

• Fix a bug where the Sidekicks mod was preventing the Ark Empire from choosing a starting flagship properly
• Thanks to Formous on discord for reprting

• Add two new AI Types
• Chivalric: Prefers not to shoot your flagships/command stations
• Bandersnatch: Gets access to all the ships from from the other new AI Types, but in a weaker form (so people who don't want Hard/Brutal AI Types can still try the new goodies).

• The Reapers now spawn their anti-transport ships more intelligently, and some of their ships now have engine stunners to let them trap and kill a cuendillar transport.

• Higher tier Spire ships get some buffs so they are less useless. May need more buffs?

• Spire Strongholds can build more Science Generators. Zenith Strongholds can now build a small number of science generators. Science generators are nerfed (but you can build more of them).
• Spire ships are made more glass cannon; not very tanky but lots of damage. Zenith ships get some extra CC
• Currently going heavy-spire seems to be the best option for science, so give the player some clearer reasons to invest into the Zenith

• Give the Lernaean AI type a hydra fleetship

• Adjust some Flenserite unit sizes
• Thanks to Dismiss for reporting

• Dyson Golems produced once your sphere is at mark 7 should no longer trigger deepstrike
• Thanks to Formous for reporting

To the best of my knowledge, neither TW3 nor BREE not getting update flags is a new issue. I believe not getting an update flag for these games is the normal state.

There are a lot of games on GOG that never get update flags, by faulty design. These would be the majority of the games that are classified as a "package" rather than a "game" in GOG's catalogue. There are hundreds of such games and none of them ever get update flags. They are still a minority, but they nevertheless number in the hundreds. I know for sure that TW3 is one of them because I own it. I do not own BREE, but given that it is classified as both a "package" and a "game", thus having two different IDs (the root of the problem), it is a fairly safe bet that it is one too.

The only way to keep one's library 100% up to date vis-a-vis GOG's servers is not to depend solely on GOG's update flags, but proactively check all one's games from time to time. I know of three methods of doing that:
(1) manually compare all one's files to those on GOG every so often (feasible only for very small libraries)
(2) check GOGdb's logs on a daily basis to find missing flags (possible, but sisyphean)
(3) use an automated tool to regularly compare all one's files to those on GOG every so often (I use gogrepoc, doing a full update about once a month and I always find missing updates)

That's the way it's always been on GOG.

I know many people won't agree with me, but manually comparing games does not take that long. Check over 1400 games in a couple of hours. gogrepoc would be the best way if you don't have time.

How many games do you usually miss a month? I was surprised I only had a handful of games that needed to be updated. Some of the updates were small not much to worry about. That was from not checking my games for about 2 years.

Depends on the month. Anywhere between 1 and 10, I'd say.

Out of curiosity, what is exactly your procedure of comparing games manually?

It's a simple procedure. I have all my games on HD in alphabetical order. I'll log into my GOG library and go down the list one by one checking the version of the offline installer. If it's out of date, I'll download the new version. Sometimes I'll double-check using GOGdb. Only interested in my offline installers being updated.

It's repetitive, but I invest a lot of money into these games. Don't see why I can't take a little time to ensure they're updated. Haha Gogrepoc is more convenient when I'm busy. But I like checking manually.

What about games that are updated without changing the version number, and in some cases even without changing the file name? Yes, there are such cases, though they are fairly rare.

What about goodies, which don't have version numbering? Again, updated goodies are rare too.

I understand your enjoying doing it manually, I do. I used to do it too in the past, though I would do it by downloading everything again and comparing bitwise.

As long as you know its shortcomings.

Would the files, without changing the version number, show up on GOGdb? If not, there is a chance I missed them.

I actually never download goodies besides manuals and reference cards. But I have been debating whether I should download every goodie and back them up. Some of the Goodies are neat.

I believe they would. If you're supplementing your manual check with GOGDb monitoring, you should be good.
