Version number of games displayed on gamecard
Added by
Kolto66 The first thing i want to know when i look on the gamecard is: Which version number does the game have. I notice in the threads that many users ask for this, since it says something about the contents/features of the game. Splinter Cell is a good example because of the extra missions in v1.3. I would like to have the version number displayed right below "game mode" for example. In case of PC games this is a very important information, i think.
squid830 Definitely! That way people will know before they buy, and it would cut down on the amount of times questions about versions are asked in the forums.
bons I agree with this entirely. It needs to be somewhere regardless. Why does GOG mess with this 1.0.0.0 nonsense in the first place?
Love & Thunder This would be especially good for something like Fallout, since people would know it's the censored UK edition(Although it can be patched to remove the censor).
shaddim @Tychoxi: while not the same wish, both wishes (hopefully) handle the game version (and not only the GOG internal version)
Tychoxi @shaddim, that's not exactly the same (though most people are confused by it too). This wish is about telling us what version of the game was used for release (So if game X started as v1.0, then got patched to v1.1 and eventually to v1.3c, it'd be cool to know if the GOG version was spawned from v1.0 or 1.3c or whatever). The wish you are linking to is about the version not of the game itself but of the GOG installer.
uchristensen It would be great to have to last bit of the version number (4th section) displayed.
shaddim somehow duplicate of www.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_version_number_to_gog_releases_eg_earth_2140_release_12
JTD121 Symphony, is a good example. In my 'shelf' it displays as 1.0.0, while actually downloading it, the setup says 1.0.0.7. And it looks like Empty Clip is still actively updating the game, so this is something that needs to be here, for newer releases at least.
DonnBarredora This is important information in some cases. So, yes, please show us the game version.
shaddim Yes, agreed! The missing of such an fundametal feature irritates me also heavily. There are many cases were this is a crucial information.
