MysterD Orc Warrior Registered: 10/30/04 Posts: 542 Loc: Massachusetts, USA	Originally Posted By: Lar_q I can understand your confusion - the version on GOG and the version on Steam are different ports due to an accident at Larian that caused us to lose the source code of the GOG version. It's a pretty stupid thing, but sometimes things go wrong. So to make the Steam version, the port to adapt for Windows 7, had to be redone. Therefore, there's no relation between the GOG version and the Steam version, other than they're based on the same original game. We're going to look at what issues might appear if we release the Steam version on GOG, and if none show up, we'll make it available there too, just to make future updates easier. Sorry about the confusion. What about the version on GameStop PC App (formerly GameStop Impulse) right now? That's Version 1.05.002 (AKA 1.005A). Will that get updated, too?

Drym' Orcling Registered: 12/06/10 Posts: 13	Hoi! I'm glad to see Divine Divinity on Steam, with a surrealistic trailer ahah Dank u wel vrienden Larian ! I can't wait Divinity: Original Sin! I'm just here to report some bugs with the Steam version: the frequent bugs I encountered at the moment, in my french text, are the character "&" instead of "..." and the "Œ" which disappeared or became "S". There are sometimes some bugs of sound (for fence). [version V1.0061A] ...I also smiled for a little misspelling "encerclef" (instead of "encerclé") for surrounded :p Even after 10 years, it's always such a really good game!! Keep up the good work! Best regards. Edited by Drym' (07/10/12 08:20 PM)

Arhu Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 556 Loc: Germany	Are the fixes of previous disk version patches in, then? Cf. http://www.larian.com/Site/english/divinity/english.html. I did some file comparisons, and the following files, at least, are identical to those in v1.29, even though they were different in v1.34. \global\region.* \dat\treasure.cmp So I'm guessing whatever changes / fixes were made to the treasure tables and regions in previous disk patches haven't made it yet into the Steam version. Could this mean that the Steam version was based on the original version and possibly doesn't include all previous fixes? Being a little paranoid here. I think I can wait for another while before I continue playing, at least until the music bug is sorted out. _________________________ Do You Like Dreams?

Tarnum Apprentice Registered: 03/09/12 Posts: 17	Originally Posted By: Rain Koor I've been a fan of Larian for a long time, but this mess with various releases and different versions of DD is truly a shame. Nothing beats quality original ©. Still I believe that the true proper version of DD is the original RETAIL game release (3CD, 1.0029A, released September 2002) with one of the latest official patches (1.0033A or 1.0034A) installed. These two patches are almost identical with only one difference: in 1.0033A you should start a new game (savegames from previous versions are incompatible), in 1.0034A you can use savegames from older versions (1.0029A, 1.0031A, 1.0032A) but in this case the patch will not fixes the map errors which are still present in the game.

Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 17396 Loc: Canada	The possible bug with the maps being reset was just in version 1.0033 using saves started in earlier game versions; that was the only compatibility issue with the disk version (though some changes/fixes only apply to new games started after installing the patch).

Drym' Orcling Registered: 12/06/10 Posts: 13	I wonder if my game becomes crazy?... 'cause I've just got an update of 80 ~ 90Mo, now, for Divine Divinity on Steam, but it's still a version V1.0061A... is anyone in this situation? Edited by Drym' (09/20/12 08:44 AM)

Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 17396 Loc: Canada	There has been no official announcement or confirmation of another patch, but the Divinity Anthology (DD + BD + DKS, see Gamescom 2012) has gone gold, or is in the process of doing so, so there could be an update (though you'd think the version number would reflect that). I assume if Steam is just re-downloading a corrupt file, or something, it would give an error message to that effect?
