Pretty cool. Dishonored is one of the very, very few AAA games in the last decade+ that I've actually liked, and it's wonderful to own them DRM free. I vaguely remember Dishonored 2 allegedly having poor performance in the city, did they fix that or was that some overly loud minority that complained they couldn't get more than 60 FPS in 4k on two monitors or something thing?

All of the Dishonored games + all the DLCs for 20€ is a ridiculously good bargain, I didn't hesitate for a second.

I think when Dishonored 2 launched it was really poorly optimized, but I didn't have any problem at all getting 60fps on my 1060 not long ago. I think I just used high rather than ultra and that was good enough. Now I have a 2070 and recently played Death of the Outsider and didn't have a problem getting 60 there either, even at 1440p. Now, 144fps... that's another matter. I don't think I got anywhere near that without going down to lowest settings, sadly.

Anyway... glad to see these on GOG. Usually I wait for $5 sales to re-buy games I have on Steam, but for Dishonored I'll make an exception and support that right away.

So i see the bundle for Wolf and them each separately. I'll assume the bundle has what both singles have. There have been a few gog instances i ended up with the same damn product trying to cover bases for extended content. Yeah... im dumb.

The way GOG handles bundles is often weird. I now own an edition of Neverwinter Nights EE that no longer exists, because of the new expansion, so every sale the site tries to sell me the game again.

Fuck the DLC, will we get the final patch on GOG for the base game already?
My game received an update today at the same time the DLC was released, dunno if that was the final patch though.
Unless the changelog hasn't been updated, it's not.

GOG states the last update is v1.11.1a (Nov 2018), while Steam has v1.11.11.11 (Jul 2019).

Looking at gog galaxy it says 1.11.11.1j even though the changelog hasn't been updated and says 1.11.1a when you click on it

Merida, again
So I bought Kingdom Come on the last sale to try it out. Planned to play it this weekend. Log on to GOG and... 15 individual downloads for the game? You fucking joking right? I'm not installing that Galaxy shit. I guess I should have just not removed it from inventory.

GOG breaks large downloads for Windows to chunks of 4GB, most likely to accommodate for people storing the files on FAT32 drives (the file sizes are always a couple of bytes less than a full 32bit number which is the limit of what FAT32 can handle - well, FAT32 can handle an extra byte, but i guess that is just a common "off by one" mistake :-P). So the larger the installer is, the more the files - and that goes extra with additional DLCs and such.

In any case you can also use the GOG downloader to download the files. With the downloader installed you can use the "More" menu to get the downloader links and it'll download these files for you on the background.

Is anyone still using FAT32? GOG Downloader in Windows only, but found lgogdownloader. Testing it now.

I was contemplating to add a "just in case anyone wonders if people still using FAT32" sidenote on my comment, but decided that it wouldn't be needed - and it only took two minutes to see i was wrong :-P.

Yes, people do use FAT32. It isn't as common on internal HDDs, but it is often found in USB memory sticks (especially the smaller sizes you can buy for change money - or get for free via promotions - pretty much everywhere). Also consider that GOG sells a lot of older games that people run on older computers (though i think they need at least Vista to run), so these installers may not always run on the latest and greatest PCs.

Also GOG uses InnoSetup for the Windows installers which can be used for a much larger range of installation types than just games (that rarely need anything more than extracting some files in a folder and -in rare cases- run an additional installer for DirectX runtime or whatever), so it can have its own limitations to support these. But that is just my guess, with a quick search i couldn't find any mention that InnoSetup cannot handle files larger than 4GB so it is most likely intentional to support FAT32.

It may also help to resume larger downloads for worse connections (mine does break every now and then, for example), though usually you can resume this and they only do it for Windows - Linux and macOS downloads are >4GB. So again, again this points to FAT32 as the main reason :-P.
