It is possible that the improved versions of story mode episodes 1 and 2 of The Long Dark get released next week here too.

Version 1.41 "Redux" has been released, now waiting for the updated installer here. First I am going to play the new challenge mode: Archivist. "Scour Great Bear to collect the last memories contained in several Aurora-animated computers." After that it is the story mode at the Hardened difficulty level for me...

http://www.hinterlandforums.com/forums/topic/21818-the-long-dark-updated-to-v141-43925-%E2%80%93-redux/

I'm right there with you, 1541.

Spent 40 hours trekking through the first two episodes this summer (yeah, I really took my time).

Can't wait to revisit the story again!

Well, still nothing here yet.

I read on the Hinterland Forum that they already pushed the new build to GOG but it'll be on them to upload the update.

If memory serves, it's typically been one week before GOG updates TLD after steam does. I was informed directly from Hinterland that the update for TLD is given to GOG within 24hrs of it going live on steam.
I would assume, and I'm just guessing, GOG waits a little to see if a hotfix comes out shortly after and then pushes the update out to save work/time. But I'mjust speculating.
So we just have to grab our favorite Goose Books publication and wait out the blizzard.

Aside, really looking forward to the rabbit skin hat. Been wanting and requesting this item for over a year.

When will the Wintermute "Redux" Update (Ver. 1.41) be released for GOG customers?

If they wait for hotfixes, TLD already have one (1.42) and considering the actual state of the game (i mean with the redux version released), there will be a lot more after this last one.

There are a lot of new bugs and little details to correct. They seem to have broken things that were already polished or never had any problem, and that without counting bugs specifics of the Wintermute chapters after redux.

There is also a good quantity of mixed feedback about some of the changes they did (for instance, again, another big UI change directed to consoles that affect computer players game experience) and while they are saying that all changes are permanent and not open to discussion, let's see what happens with all the mixed opinions about those changes.

Anyway, hope to see soon(tm) here the new version. Meanwhile, remember to download and keep a copy of the 1.37 installers in case you don't like the changes, specially for enjoying the survival mode games without any console changes that are not welcome.

It's a shame, though, because they have finally fixed some of the custom game options that were not working correctly and for having those fixes we'll need to use the new interface (and look what they did at the campfires...why do we need a new screen for chosing what to do, and then a second one instead of being able to directly access the fire like before? this is starting to look more like a console port than a computer game, sadly)

Replying to the above, just didn't want to quote and take up space.
Chances are those little patches will be added within days of the big updated. I'm going off of the update history and the sticky change log. So one week for the big one 1.4 and then 2-3 days for the 1.42 or whatever the final hotfix number is,. usually by the big one going live on GOG the little one that follow are all done and we get the latest, so before the year is out we will be up-to-date with steam.

Does it suck? Sure. But IMHO It's worth the wait if it means I don't have to run it with steam, which for whatever reason hates when I play the game in 4k.

PS The UI change just moved the four cold/food/drink/sleep to the left over the hp bar, though they apparently show up all the time, but I'm sure there is an option to hide them and use the hotkey to make them show for a little then disappear.

The problem with steam is that there are too many people who complain about things. People with very little hours who have no jobs so they just complain.

Look at how many people were up in arms over the new cooking system, which is fantastic. So they changed a menu or radial thingy, personally I never use the radial, so that won't matter to me, and I'm sure we can still add wood to fire and food to pots like we did in 1.37.

There is absolutely no point in worrying about things you haven't tried yet. There is no point in listening to opinions of unknown people. Would you trust a strangers opinion about an upcoming movie, or a close friends? paraphrasing.

Rant, hope this helps.

PPS
I just read thru the 1.41 patch notes, everything seems to still be intact, they just added more options. concerning UI and radial/placement stuff.

(also removed your answer to save up space and keep the thread a bit more clear)

To be honest, you don't need steam to run the game even there. It's already drm-free, or it was until last version i'm not sure if with the news broadcasting they changed something.

About the UI, i meant the interface in general. Those 4 icons, even if i don't like how they show my stats are a minor question and it's moddable. In fact, the guy who makes those icons to show numbers also with the bars said that the updated mod will be released this weekend.

Nope, i meant all in general. Some things are minor, i agree, but others not so much:

Imo, the extra screen added at campfire is a bad decision and makes a worse interface for the gameplay, making you go through a totally unnecesary screen that also makes you lose a precious time in a survival game that can kill your char in mere seconds (oh, a extra screen added, also, to try to improve the console interface because all the complaining that came from console players)

The changes to dialogues are also part of the interface and the way you talk to npc's is now ugly and ucomfortable for a PC kb/mouse point of view (big, blue bright letters floating around your screen in disorder, without a cursor and selected like if it was -and it is- a console interface made for a controller)

The removal of the last important number/stat we still had in the game (health) makes more difficult to know your exact situation and you have to guess approx. how much life do you have.

Hiding the HUD icons when in a forced cinematic, when cooking, fishing, gathering, etc means that you will not even know if you are losing health. You could be freezing and you will be ignorant about your state. BTW, it's specially frustrating that you continue losing health when in a cinematic, forced to wait for it to end all dialogue-voices.

All of those are complains, imho, fair and reasonable. And i was not talking just about steam forums, but also about the official Hinterland forum so i'm not talking about blind haters, but about people who reason and argue what they complain, and i personally agree in the above complaints. Imo, game is not only a bit worse than before in some aspects, but also more ugly. Yes, ugly. I always thought this was probably the most elegant and beautiful game i ever played (again, just my humble opinion!) With the redux, now it's a bit less elegant and a bit less beautiful. Not in the new graphics, but in all around them: shading effects, fonts, notifications (like Improved rest, or Warming up) and even the new dialogue (not the voices, but the new text) It's like if they were again in Alpha and effects, fonts, etc were placeholders waiting for polish, because all are ugly as...well, just my opinion :S

About your last advice (?) i'm not just listening to unknown people. I'm reading all i can about the new update and, like with reviews, i discard positive/negative feedback that lack a good reasoning and it's just from haters/fanboys. I don't care too much about other's, random opinions, but i do care about good feedback to form myself an opinion. I know a lot of people tends to just ask: "should i buy this game?" and is strongly influenced by others but come on, don't presuppose that i'm one of them, please.

Finally, and independently from what i just said above, i am already playing the game, so i already have tested the new Wintermute and the changes i was talking about. I have the game in both stores, for reasons that are not important but, i think, show my love for the game. That's why i know that there is also drm-free and you don't need the steam client to launch, unless you want to try some of those events that never came here, sadly, like in the last Helloween.

I understood what you said, and i agree with you that it will always worth the wait to have a game/update here but please don't completely discard the feedback about changes thinking that all are trolls so forget about them. In that case, i would be just another troll, and i do not think so :D (and, of course, i also agree in that you need to try it for yourself before forming an opinion after all, except maybe when you are deciding if you buy something or not)

Oh, and sorry for my wall of text! When i like very much something, i tend to explain in detail my opinions and english is not my mother's language, so it's more difficult to express what i want to say :S

Reply to above, but I do't know how to keep the user name but delete the rest. Only my 4th or 5th post.

I'll start with this, we must play the game very differently. Not a critic just an observation. Somethings that concern you, are never a issue for me, and probably vice versa. Observation, not an attack. I'll do a point to point to match your last.

I wasn't able at the last time I played thru steam to play it off steam, So this may have changed or not. With gog version though it doesn't matter to me anymore anyway.

Moddable UI, we basically agree here so I'll skip this.

I typically don't use camp fires so I am unaware of the screen, but I totally understand. I'm not a fan of any game being tilled towards console friendly. And in a game were seconds can matter, so i get it.

I don't bother with the story at all so I can't speak for any of that.

I think the number removal was to make it a little more realistic? I get that, I'm okay with it, would be nice if it was an on/off option, which who knows maybe they will. I tend to lean more caustious though and never really dropped below 75% on stalker. (I like long games so I don't to inter.) Does it have a worded statues like it does for food/water/sleep/temp?

The hiding of the HUD. I kind of disagree. It's pushing the players towards more awareness. We have had some time to learn the weather patterns and know when something is coming, like a blizzard. And it would be silly to chop wood when you are freezing and should be inside by a fire. Again this goes to play style and I don't know yours, I tend to always have a backup for everything so I don't catch myself starving in a blizzard or not having wood while freezing.
Seems like losing HP in the cinematic is a bug. I don't think they would want that, so eyes peeled for a hotfix.

Last four lumped together kind of.

I forgot about hinterlands forums. So fair point. So ignore was the wrong word, I should of said something like, take with a grain of salt. Something you would find to be a minor inconvenience, could change the whole world for another.

No worries on your english, I'm in the same boat.

And who knows, when the update comes, I may find myself disappointed too. But much like the cooking system update, I was worried at first but quickly put to ease once i messed with it for an hour. I am more worried about these longer menu things. But I'll wait to try it to see.

Aside, I saw a lot of complaints about the screens during transistion loading times. I typically don't have a loading time between entering houses or going to new regions. Black, wolf Black in about half a second. So hopefully that won't change for me. But again, we'll see.

Hopefully everything gets smoothed out, hinterland is pretty good about fixing issues. oh and I agree about the being in alpha again, that really grinds my gears too when something works just fine and the devs go back and change it. But I can't do anything about it other then make a request for it to change so i try not to waste energy on it. Especially with the mod community.

Hope we have covered everything, I feel like I sprained my wrist, see what i did there, with all this typing. I'll probably come back when the update hits, hope I'm happy as I was with the last.

Cheers Kakarot, Thanks for keeping civil!
