The only way for you to finish the game may be to roll back to an earlier GOG version, which can be done only on galaxy. "Warning: Kingdom under Fire Heroes has game-breaking bugs in its latest version. Mrkgnao: But a reputable store could add a warning to the game page. They were never supposed to end up "well it's still unencrypted but 2 of the 16 tracks are missing and there's a big scratch down the middle, and the publisher can't be bothered to fix it and the store that sold it doesn't want to remember what the original point of the 'Hassle Free' label they stuck on the case out of fear." GOG may need new partners with newer games to sell to customers who've reached "saturation point" for owning all the older titles they want, but this certainly isn't the way to do it. DRM-Free video games are meant to be like going on holiday to another continent, buying an audio-CD, bringing it home and it just works (vs the hassle of region locked and encrypted Blu-Rays from another region). The basic concept of DRM-Free was supposed to involve less bullsh*t vs DRM'd games not more, and someone seems to have lost that basic message along the way. If after 6-12 months there haven't been any "2nd class citizen issues" I might eventually buy them (if I remember), but by then the price is usually reduced and GOG will certainly get less money per sale than they used to "pre BS-era". The only thing this debacle has done for me is blacklist all Deep Silver games here altogether, plus any new games that get released (even by other publishers) now get put into the wishlist (used as a "watch-list") instead of purchased. "The fix requires Deep Silver to recompile & reupload but they can't be bothered and we didn't force them to fix it because they might threaten to remove their games from the store" just results in existing customers 'getting the message' that GOG has thrown away all Quality Assurance and is now an unreliable store for buying / pre-ordering new games, even from major established publishers. I think you're right as to why it's been abandoned, but there's also a limit as to how far that can be stretched without setting a bad precedent. Swedrami: And GoG obviously cannot point at Deep Silver and blame them for sleeping on or even ignoring the reported issue (hoping people would forget about it with time) to not sour their business relations.
