The only thing I dislike about all the patches is that GOG Galaxy is terrible at patching. It slows the computer down to a crawl even during the actual download process, instead of just during the patching, which differs from the likes of Steam, Battle.net, Origins etc.

Yep some things I hate about GOG patches.
- Patch numbering system
- They usually patch a day later then Steam
- Installation of the patches & DLC slows down pc
- Having to download the whole game again if its a large patch

Yup, that's a huge reason why I put this game on hold back in October, the constant patches made it difficult to play when I wanted to play. Once all the patches are in and sorted, then I'll be back to finally complete this one, the additional problem seems to be that when more content is released, the whole mega-patch cycle seems to start all over again.

1. Absolutely agree, it's horror
2. Publisher/developer is IMO to blame for this, not GOG
3. Buy i9! Kidding. They definetly need to optimize the process better.
4. I didn't have a case like this, but if true, it's a disaster

Only happen's when a game gets a major patch update. These small hot-fixes are not a problem as it was the 1.1 and 1.2 patches when my whole game was re-downloaded.

Totally makes me remember my creed about never pledging an amount that would purchase physical media items. Shipping today is just so wonky, unless you are fully ingrained into the process, like Amazon, Target, etc. Must be a huge chore for private citizens to complete.
I remember following Obsidian for PoE and PoE2 and they explained how it's a pain in the ass. You have to order so many copies and pick a certain date or miss out.
That's why a publisher helping with distribution is necessary.

Dear lord, another update? I'm starting to believe that I'll never get back to this game!
Plenty more on the way this year I'm afraid to say.
I almost forgot a new Hot-fix patch was released also.

Please, be aware of plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest and Area sections)!
Areas
Quests
Items
Miscellaneous
Areas
- When returning to Lostlarn Keep in the main campaign, if Varn's General is alive and guarding the portal, the player could receive the sword that the General is using in the cutscene. This wasn't supposed to happen. Resolution: fixed.
- In very rare cases, interacting with the fog in the "House at the Edge of Time" area could lead to incorrect behavior of said fog. Resolution: as a temporary measure, we've added a way to restore the fog's function. You can trigger it by changing floors in the House at the Edge of Time.
Quests
- Certain kingdom conditions can lead to a decreased chance of random encounters on the global map. This had the unintended side effect of making it too hard to find your throne in the "Runaway Throne" quest. Resolution: now there is a kingdom event that will disclose the throne's location if the quest hasn't been completed after a while.
- In Pitax, the quest log didn't follow the progression of the main quest properly. Resolution: fixed.
Items
- Scroll of Hypnotism had an incorrect Spell Level. Resolution: fixed.
- Scroll Of Summon Monster IV d4+1 didn't work. Resolution: fixed.
Miscellaneous
- Willas Gunderson's portrait didn't display during dialogues. Resolution: fixed.
Also beta for 1.3 is also out on Steam and GoG. And it has a few hundred fixes again
And it has barely improved Kingdom Management that they said they also want to improve. So expect patch 1.4 in some future as well

Ok, darnnit all, guess I'll be picking this one up again sometime....next year. Maybe. At least I do have quite the backlog with games that are actually complete!
Smart choice as more DLC will released that will need fixing also.
lol
The never end cycle!
I'm like Carnifex, I haven't touched it since release, waiting for a long cooldown in patching that doesn't seems to be happening.

They really are taking fan feedback seriously I'm happy with more content! Been so busy lately, I haven't had chance to play but looking forward to picking it up again when life settles down a bit!
