And that must be quite an accomplishment!!! lol

But I can't not ask anymore, it's been bugging me.

When downloading a game, I often find the Windows installer and immediately underneath a "Windows Patch" (see attached) and it's never clear to me whether I'm supposed to download both and apply the patch or whether the installer is already patched. I've always assumed the installer is already patched, but.... well, if there's one thing I have learned that's even worse than asking the dumbest question ever asked on the internet, it's that to assume something makes an ass of me... or something like that. (lol... can't remember exactly how that went now... damned memory)

You said it.

I did? What did I say? lol

ADDED: Oh, that it was the dumbest question ever asked on the internet. Gotcha.

I really should win something for that.

It is often not clear whether the patch is required, or just for the convenience of those who have already installed the game. If you look at the file names you should be able to see if the patch is the same version as the installer, or a newer version. Or you could run both just to be sure.

Your getting as bad as Bradley,with these threads:)

If you mean the patch entry, it's there even if there isn't a patch. When you download a patch, it depends on the game. Some games have an installer patched to the last version and the patch file is there still for users with an older installation from the older unpatched installer, so they can upgrade without having to redownload the installer. Other patches are not included on the installer, so you must install both.
Since GOG version numbers are chaos, my workaround is downloading and installing everything. If the patch was already bundled inside the installer, instead of reinstalling the patch it will show a "already patched, dude" kind of message, so I can delete it.

I have no clue who Bradley is, but I sure feel bad for him....

FUN FACT: Did you know that Two Worlds II won't show up when you pick "Role Playing" or "Action" as a genre? I so hate this new My Account "page" that is now 8 pages instead of one, so when looking for a specific game in my library I try using something to limit the return to 2 or 3 pages, and discovered Two Worlds II, despite being described on it's Game Page as being: "Action. Role Playing. Fantasy" doesn't show up when you select either of the first two, and there is no Fantasy genre to choose from. Wonder if there is any genre that it will show up for?

Well,it is Gog.As for tracking or finding info about games I always use the video previews on the net.

I wouldn't trust GOG library for sorting items xD. Even if a bit boring, I can't encourage you enough to use custom tags.

Annnd, I just tried every genre available, (yes I even tried racing and sports). And guess what?

Two Worlds II doesn't show up no matter which genre you pick.

Poor game, out there all by itself....

I just wish we could have one long page and scroll like we used to. Especially because it's just a PITA to specify a page. (it's not as easy as typing in a number. No. You have to basically be quick on the trigger to highlight the page number, hit backspace to delete it, and hit the new page number fast enough before it automatically just reloads all 8 pages again.)

FUN FACT TWO: After posting The Dumbest Question Ever Asked on the Internet (TM), there's been several responses and yet no answer. Apparently it IS unclear as to whether or not we're supposed to download just the installer of the installer and the patch.

Gog, please. Could you maybe list the version number beside the installer and patch so we can look and know whether or not the patch is required? Thx.

Is your PM turned off?

Yeah, was getting spammed by people I had gifted games to asking for more. Do you need me to turn it on?

I'll just friend request you, that way you can use it without getting spammed.

OK, should work now. (I guess?)

Can't you remove unwanted contacts and set your chat to "friends only"?
