I'd say a scheme like _ covers everything, albeit it can get a bit long. But the useful information is what's inside the wrapper and not the wrapper itself.Īnd it's not like it's hard to accommodate that. and it's nice for users to know they need to update. Adding languages, compatibility fixes etc. I get that they might need to update just the installer. I was confused by their decision to use that scheme. I wasn't really confused by the different versions. What DOS version do I have? Can I play with someone on Steam? Can I know if a guide referring to a specific version is applying to me? Does GOG have the latest version of the game or is left behind (SR:DF as a case in point)? Right now I have on my hard drive 2 exes for DOS: Second I can't see how it is useful to the customer to know the version of the installer instead of what is inside the installer. You are the first I see defending it though.įirst of all the game version that GOG is lately started using is only mentioned in the game card, only when you have the downloader activated and many times they are not consistent.
I knew there are some that dislike the scheme and I knew there are some that couldn't care less.
Vulchor: Anyway, just because you're confused doesn't mean you should be insulting. I think the best solution is to provide both version numbers, the GOG installer version as the main version, then in parenthesis would be the dev's version number.Īnyway, just because you're confused doesn't mean you should be insulting. So they have listened to the people that are confused by this. If you notice, lately (the past 6 months or so) GOG has started using the official developer's version numbers, like is the case for the D:OS patches. GOG creates their own installers, therefore those installers need to have version numbers. The problem is that many people don't understand software development, so it can be a little confusing, but not moronic. Hasn't dawned on no one in GOG yet that'd be a swell idea to change it? The GOG versioning scheme is far from moronic. Pretty sure there are plenty times more around and the more new games GOG brings, the more such complains will keep pilling.
AndyBuzz: Is there by any chance a change in that moronic version scheme coming? I've personally seen at least a dozen times confused users complaining.
