Hi
Im a new member on the site. I just bought "The Settlers®: Rise of an Empire - Gold Edition" during the summer sale.

When i installed the game i used the "setup_settlers6_gold_edition_2.1.0.5" and then i also ran "patch_settlers6_gold_edition_2.1.0.5" . It installed, however when i ran the game, the menu screen says at the bottom "Limited Edition". Which from what ive read doesnt contain an expansion pack.
So i am a little confused and not sure what version i was sold by GOG.
Also the version of the game states "1.71.4289" and i dont see mention of "2.1.0.5"

So these are the files i received from the download:
patch_settlers6_gold_edition_2.1.0.5
settlers_rise_of_an_empire_gold_edition_manual
setup_settlers6_gold_edition_2.1.0.5
setup_settlers6_gold_edition_2.1.0.5-1.bin

I just downloaded it and tried it out because i was hesitant as some reviews had said the game didnt even work for them on Windows 10. My game seemed to work and i quickly tried up to the 4th mission just to be sure. So the game i have at least works. But is it the version i ordered? I have no idea.
Do i need to do anything different to check or install the Gold Edition that i placed the order for?

I bought it just some weeks ago, never played before. As far as I understood, the Gold edition includes the expansion and it is the only difference to the basic (limited) edition.

You can run the expansion in GOGgalaxy. In the button to the right of "Play", you choose "additional executables" then you choose "the settlers - the eastern realm".
