RE: Rebel Galaxy (PS4/PC)

It does seem to be that hotfix, yes; Steam has its own special way to install games while GOG uses traditional installs, therefore patches may themselves require to be made differently for both versions.

RE: Colonies online

<t>I don't use Steam, nor do I want to (I pretty much banned it for several reasons, and I am far from being the only one to have done so over the years).Anyway, not answering their own support email address AND locking their forum pretty much clinches it; you can try contacting them through Steam ...

RE: Rebel Galaxy (PS4/PC)

<t>Bought this game on GOG, and just finished playing the story line; I have a number of comments: - Saving options misleading and inconsistent:The Main menu (outside a game) has a so called 'Manage saves' options.This is a misnomer, the only thing it allows you is to delete an existing game: 1 game ...

RE: Chase Perk and Chase

<t>I cannot get the Chase mode (nor its tutorial) even after the cache cleraing as mentionned on the other post.Therefore I deduce that Wesp5' patches are absolutely required for it to even show up now and then (I understand from this post and another that getting it to work is unreliable even if it ...

Hints & tips anywhere ?

<t>I found a number of problems which could be bugs or bad design, I am not sure which; is there an English walkthrough for the game anywhere (Google is NOT my friend with 'Precursors' in any search pattern: hundreds of irrelevant hits) ?Or some form of hints for me to assert if I need to persist ...

RE: respawning mobs?

This is an old topic, but in case somebody else seeks that answer, I can confirm that NPCs also respawn.Besides which, it is worth mentionning that at least some finished missions also respawn (however I see little interest in doing any given mission more than once).

How to take photographs ?

<t>I am eventually able to play this game (it would not run on my older computer), and I now have a mission to take photographs.I started on the first planet with a device for that (in quest items), however I cannot find any way to actually use it.

RE: Precursor sale for $7,50

As for UK, GamersGate has it on sale at £9.98 , which makes the US discounted version much cheaper than the UK discounted version...However, same as Geraldine, no content for me in the discount page from your link.

RE: Official English Game - Issues and Impressions

Also waiting for the same thing.Once the GFI patch is ready, what exactly will be the difference between Gamersgate version with that patch, and any version patched with your non-GFI patch (besides the Russian voices which I will not go for)?

I plan to buy this game eventually, but given the information available it is definitely not worth the £20 price tag for the English version, as it stand.
