With the Challenge Mode Update out now of Steam, what do y'all think how long GOG players need to wait this time?
Another 6 - 7 Months? Or less?

6 months, sounds about right. Those mfs at Aspyr are L-A-Z-Y.

Well last update took 6 monthds because GOG doesn't allow the 3rd Party account DRM to get rewards. AFAIK.
I give them about a Month, when it's not there its time to contact support

i rly hope so but with their recent actions on how long it took them to redo a simple 3rd party account check for the Golden Pistols i suspect we will wait a long time again. Not to mention they blatantly lied on the trailer saying "out now on" including gog while there is no patch here.

We will have to see it seems.
And once again wait.

This update doesn't involve 3rd Party acccount checks but it seems the outfits are tied to Achievements, which cannot be obtained with just the Offline Installers after all

The latest build was uploaded 3 weeks ago - which probably is the one that introduces the Challenge Mode?:
https://www.gogdb.org/product/1407750955#changelog

Still needs to be pushed resp. tested for the offline installlers, which I assume GOG is currently in the process of. Shouldn't take long.

That was the Gold Pistol Update
Right, my bad.
Will have to wait and see, then.

It will come here eventually.
Perhaaps togethher when they do it for 4-6 Remastered as well.

Again, since this feature is not tied to 3rd Party accounts, it will likely be easier to Pass GOGs Checks. Especially sine it's said to be here lol
Challenge Mode update is terrible. Aside from questionable AI-generated low-res outfits, it also added new bugs, and brought back some of the old ones.
It was quickly slapped together by some mobile game developer, original dev team was not involved with it.

You'd better hope that this update never makes it to GOG.
Make a local backup of offline installers, just to be safe.
I have often solicited the devs to update the gog version like the others but this time I wish they would just delete this god awful version. I have seen what the update brings and really no thanks. It’s just ai slop that breaks the game even more. We really don’t need it thank you

i was about to ask for a source of that claim but found it rly quickly. Its a bummer they outsourced it like that to another company, no wonder the some of the outfits feel off and there are new bugs :( I saw a stream yesterday where someone was playing TR2 Home Sweet Home with additional enemies and the game just abruptly ended because they forgot about the hardcoded lvl ending trigger of killing 16 enemies

Turned out, it didnt took them 7 months, not even 1.
It is already out.
Unfortunately I was unable to save the offline installers
Damn. I just came here to download the game before the broken version was added.

How do we downgrade out of this buggy mess? I just want the game how it was before this slop was added.
