I've downloaded both setup files for WM from GOG (and the two patches), ran the first one, says Install Successful, launch produces only a blank menu. (If I click on the top level I get a Pof E screen overlaid, and it freezes.)

I also ran the two patches which was probably a mistake--the first one produced an error log.

I posted on two threads here--I'd like an answer from an administrator--is this GOG's fault?

What can I do--delete and download the whole game from the beginning?

Help!

patch_log.txt

I misspoke--WM is installed, 17.6G in the data file. Launch is the problem, as above.

Did Obsidian increase the hardware specs for this? Because I had a similar problem with another less powered machine, freeze on intro screen.

Not enough CPU? GPU?   Pillars itself ran well for me.    I see a note about verifying cache--where in GOG?

 

So, I'm going back to downloading the whole thing from the beginning.

OK -- Got the game, Pillars plus WM, running the hard way. I used GOG Galaxy and had an enormous 20G download (on GOG.com it's 8G) which took 24 hours because it continually broke off and I wasn't going to stay and watch it. But it installed itself smoothly and I had only to click Play. My saves were still there. It's 2.01.

 

Still don't know why 20G. So now I have two complete installs, only one works. I still don't know what was happening with the frozen menu and title screen.

Galaxy is not so stable, better not jiggle anything on screen.

The manual patch is a little bit weird for this version at gog, so I think people reported the most success using Galaxy.

Hello philares3,

 

Which version of the game is working? The Galaxy Client or the gog download? 

Galaxy. I'm afraid to try the gog one in case it conflicts.

Okay great! Looks like the files weren't properly installed if you are having problems with GoG install. Try uninstalling/reinstalling if you want to play on GoG instead of Galaxy. 

 

Thank you for your support!
