Hello,

Does anyone know what version/patchlevel of TLJ is supposed to be used for GOG version? I have just downloaded and installed GOG version (marked as version 2.0.0 in my account) and I see “Build 142” on the title screen of the game. Also, contrary to what I've read on the forum, this version stores save files under game folder, not under C:\Users or C:\Documents and Settings. My system is Windows 8.1 x64, and I see the same under virtual machine with Windows XP SP3 x86.

Is this expected? How do I update/should I update to latest patch 161?

Build 142, if the patches page on the TLJ wiki are anything to go by, indicate this is a fully patched 4 CD version. The further patches (to build 161) are for other builds (2CD/DVD) of the game. Not sure if updating it would work, mainly due to other changes GOG may have made. GOG staff would have a better answer for that.

The saves being in the game's folder is expected (from what I've seen). It works that way on my computer with a fresh install of GOG version 2.0.0 on Windows 7 as well. Since it is outside of the Windows or Program Files directories it shouldn't hurt anything anyway.

Can't say much about this. I own three versions of this game - the original German 4CD version, which has the police station crash, a German DVD re-release which produced interesting clipping bugs the original release did not AND occasionally does the police station crash, and the English gog release - which didn't yield any notable bugs when I played through it.

However, I've just read on this forum that people STILL experience the police bug, which is really odd. :(

GOG, how to patch this game to latest 1.61?
Unfortunatly, I need to patch this game to use russian translation. I can play with English subtitles, but with translation walkthrough will be more comfortable.

did anyone figure out how to play the longest journey on Linux? I can't get it to work in wine nor VMware. Installing Microsoft Windows isn't an option for me. DreamfallTLJ on the other hand works perfectly in wine under Linux.

I have an original czech 4CD version, which does not run on Win7 and newer. I have bought gog version too, but it is english one. How can I patch it to run it in czech, or patch the czech version to run on win7/10? There were some unofficial patches, but they are no longer available. BTW, Czech version is buil 142.

You could test the following, maybe it works:

Install GOGs version.

In your case both versions of the game should use *.iss sound-files, right?
Example: The Longest Journey\1a\01\xarc\000a000004.iss
You should NOT find *.ovs-files on your CD-version:
Example: The Longest Journey\1a\01\xarc\000a000004.ovs

Now replace ALL *.iss-files from ALL subfolders of your GOG version with all *.iss files from your CD version. (Only the iss-files!)

Tell us if it works :)

Do you know where text and subtitles are stored? Thanks!

Download the "multilanguage patch", it shows you the paths. Btw, it includes spanish subs too.
