When I was downloading TW2 through the NEW GOG manager I saw the Direct X runtime and the C++ runtime precompiled libraries. Now they've disappeared. So I've followed the instructions here(except from the posts before me since I've yet to find yet another version of C++) and get a generic error from the offline installer: It looks like Direct X 9 is already installed but TW2 can't find the D3D libraries.... This is even more ridiculous when you consider that the original installer I used was for the original TW2 as I was an early supporter of GOG and that had the same problem.

Timppu: Maybe, if we were fine with the idea that the base offline installer is always some old version of the game, which you have to manually patch with one or more patches after installation. At least I'd prefer the offline installers are the latest version, and the patches are just for those who have already installed an older version earlier. Then I could skip downloading the patches altogether. EDIT: Like Gersen pointed out (I think), one way to "solve" the problem would be that you there wouldn't be any separate prepackaged offline installers, but instead you'd have to make your own GOG game "installers" (or rather, zip compressed installation directories) as follows: 1. You download and install a GOG game with the Galaxy client. At this point you can decide which version of the game you install, I presume (or how that rollback feature works, not sure as I don't currently use Galaxy). Like I said, I would be surprised if GOG don't keep a back up of everything, so it is highly probable older versions do exist on at least their main servers in an archive somewhere. With that in mind, you then have the notion that requiring an older version would only be a somewhat rare occasional thing, so not much download demand on a server, so just having an archive they give us access to should not be that hard, and they can remain where they are now, no need to use up other valuable server space. ------------------------------------------------------ As for where I think GOG are heading, which ties into other aspects you raise, is a DRM-Free (Steam & Epic) model, where you can copy or zip up an install folder and it will (mostly) work on another PC without needing to authenticate. It would certainly make life simpler for them, obviously with Galaxy being mandatory at the point of initial download. If they also ensured that other requirements (i.e. Registry entries and other dependencies) were included in the folder and implemented on every startup if missing, then they have covered their bases, and can claim they are still DRM-Free, just not an Offline Installer DRM-Free. P.S. The elephant in the room though, is patches or full rollback. If GOG every disappear, then Galaxy won't be able to do that. So updating and backup just in case would be terribly painful, likely repeated a few times in some cases. P.S.S. We are where we are at now, because GOG have gone from something fairly simple to something downright complex. Galaxy should only have ever been an install assistant, using the exact same files (with a few others thrown in for Galaxy specific monitoring etc) as what the Offline Installer files are.Post edited August 21, 2021 by Timboli.
