Playing through and for some reason, in Mission 3, it sends an impossibly large fleet to*SPOILER ALERT* destroy all the cryotrays before your fleet can even launch. OG Homeworld gave you a chance to rescue at least 5 of them. I watched a Youtoube playthrough and the fleet the computer sent to attack the cryotrays consisted of about frigates, not a literal dozen. I'm looking all over the place for a difficulty adjuster and there is none; I thought I had gotten ambitious in my difficulty choice, but no, it's a horrible lack of balance. It's *NOT* a skill issue - I've played and finished OG Homeworld before. Something is horribly broken about the scripting in this game and IDGAF enough to fix the developer's screw-up.
I thought the whole point of buying games on GOG is that they took old games and made them work on modern PCs so you wouldn't have to go through the annoyance of troubleshooting broken, unsupported games. Imagine my joy when a GOG game is broken and I have to go hunting down a solution on the forums. Why did I even bother buying this when I could have just downloaded it form an abandonware website if I wanted to patch it myself? And on top of that GOG now has the shamelessness to beg for money to fund "game preservation".
GOG just asked me to rate this game after a random crash. I've encountered a bunch of bugs but I guess that's the state of modern gaming - developers release half-finished games and rely on the community to be testers and fixers while payintg for it.
