they understand well enough. they are just ignoring us. I bought the game as it was before I do NOT like my games changed without my permission! when I buy them if you want changes make your own damned game! don't change mine!!!

playing this "fixed" game for a while here is what I've found:
EAX not present, despite some peoples denial it ever had EAX, it in fact did and it in fact had reverb and now it does not.
music gets stuck and mixed up. combat music plays at the same time as regular incodental music
when you use range combat you get "Stuck" and cannot walk further. why? because you do not wish to use a joy stick nor game pad. and instead find WASD /mouse far supierior but not with the noob fix!
NPC no shows(that is if you can even GET to the frist area you are to meet any NPCs!"(and I did but they do not show up in the hanger on Telos! I would also guess that throughout the game there are numerous bugs that were created via this "fix" if it ain't broke in the first place...
but now it is.
and why make those who purchase the original game the way it was have to loose the original to this attrocity. the site is called "GOG Good OLD Games, not rehash noob duct tape fest! I bought the classic, if I wanted the remake I'd BUY the remake. I bought the classic pre-aspyr version! I expect it to remain in my inventory.
in a way it being removed is a form of thievery!

To clarify, I edited each of my previous posts in this thread with a notice that this issue has been resolved as much as it is going to be resolved (in the hopes of reducing the chances that this thread is necroed a year or more from now). As mentioned in the edit to my first post in this thread, the offline installer for the original version will unfortunately remain inaccessible, but the original version is accessible again via GOG Galaxy.
Now that the original (non-Aspyr) version is accessible again (via GOG Galaxy at least), I edited one of my posts in another thread and added instructions on how to revert to the original version for anyone who isn't familiar with that Galaxy functionality: https://www.gog.com/forum/star_wars_knights_of_the_old_republic_series/patch_10b_just_landed/post17. Additionally, I added a note on PCGamingWiki explaining how to revert to the original version, both for GOG Galaxy users and Steam users.
I also listed workarounds for a few of the Aspyr version issues (unfortunately there are still outstanding issues), for people who prefer the Aspyr version: https://www.gog.com/forum/star_wars_knights_of_the_old_republic_series/patch_10b_just_landed/post9.

Heh, for unrelated reasons, the recent Aspyr remaster of Stubbs the Zombie has very similar issues (EAX & 3D audio removed, buggy music), due to the audio engine being swapped out. I'm presuming this was done for portability reasons (console, mobile phones).

as for necro forums. I hope GOG reads this before it become necro and this is only a crap shoot, but I am gambler in hopes the ones in charge do read this stuff.(or not).

Is this still the case? I don't see two different versions for VTMB in my library.
