Honestly that could be load balancing cache crap causing it to vanish / show up or some sort of advance auto moderation. I would not jump too fast assuming it's them deleting it.spookywatcher wrote: ↑Wed, 17. Mar 21, 02:24GOG are deleting any posts that call out the fact that they have not released the content.

X4 Cradle of Humanity when release Gog?

Re: X4 Cradle of Humanity when release Gog?
So this is what GOG now shows me hours later when I select Windows:
And this is the list I get for Linux:
This is not cache. This is the usual GOG experience for me
* I don't get Patch downloads (Deltas). It's re-download the whole thing again and again.
* I don't get same day (heck, at this point I can be glad I get same month - not acceptable for pre-order)
* I get version mixes (I'm sure that'll be just fine to try, what could possibly go wrong?)
* I do not get Galaxy installer (Even Mac users get that. Mac Gaming. In 2021.
)
What I got yesterday was a nice countdown to DLC that told me to refresh page to get… nothing. So this is the DRM free revolution. As usual, the joke is on the paying customer.

Re: X4 Cradle of Humanity when release Gog?
Mkay, I got tired of waiting to I started playing around with the Windows DLC.
* Installed **Linux** x4_foundations_4_00_45652.sh to /games/linux/X4_Foundations/
* Installed the package innoextract (v 1 .
(For me: dnf install innoextract)
* Put the **Windows** DLC files into /games/linux/X4_Foundations/game
setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_(64bit)_(45636)-1.bin
setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_(64bit)_(45636).exe
setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_(64bit)_(45636)-1.bin
setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_(64bit)_(45636).exe
* Extracted the **Windows** DLC files manually:
Run game, shows both DLC.
Selected Terrain Start and watched intro.
Reported back here
ymmv.

Re: X4 Cradle of Humanity when release Gog?
Almost 24 hrs later and for Linux I see X4 ver 4.0 But that's it. No COH dlc that I paid for and SV dlc is still showing 3.3
Looks like windows installers are all there.

Same. I used the Windows installer on Linux. See above. Playing for hours now, seems to work finespookywatcher wrote: ↑Wed, 17. Mar 21, 16:47Almost 24 hrs later and for Linux I see X4 ver 4.0 But that's it. No COH dlc that I paid for and SV dlc is still showing 3.3

Glad that this works for you all too.
I have a hard time to wrap my head around what may possibly be the problem to throw this into a self extracting archive:

Re: X4 Cradle of Humanity when release Gog?
They now have Linux DLC files up tagged as `4.00 Preview B11HF3`
Whatever that may be.

Re: X4 Cradle of Humanity when release Gog?
Those files are there as a temporary solution by GOG while they sort out their installer problems. Luckily all the important files are identical to the release version, so you can safely use them while they get their act together on the final version.
