r/gog

So I built a retro gaming PC recently that runs Windows XP Pro with service pack 3. I thought I would be able to install some of my GOG games on it from the offline installers on a flash drive and a lot of them did work however there were a few that didnt, Batman Arkham Asylum, Postal 2, Silent Hill 4 and F.E.A.R all didn't work even though they are Windows XP era appropriate games. They installed just fine but when I go to open them they give me an error something along the lines of "This application has failed to start because bcrypt.dll or kernel35.dll files were not found." I realize a lot of these games might be more optimized for a newer OS, however I got all of those games to run right out of the box without any tweaks or anything on an old laptop I had not to long ago that was also running Windows XP. I no longer have that laptop but I was curious if anyone knows any fixes or something that might be wrong with it because I know from having those games work fine on that old laptop running Windows XP that it's definitely possible. Any help would be appreciated!

Just picked up cyberpunk on gog. I already have it on epic because i picked it up for $2. I want to uninstall the epic version and install the gog version.

Can i bring my saved game with me? Or do i have to start over?

How do you guys playing it on modern hardware? I'm currently trying to play it but it keep crashing every 5 - 10 minutes, i try every tips on older forums and using Multi-Fixer but nothing worked. I also notice that if i'm tune down the graphic settings i could play for longer (around 15 or 30 minutes). If anyone can help i'm really appreciated.

So, I came across GOG a while ago, and what really piqued my interest is that unlike other digital game stores, they don't DRM they game files they distribute on their platform...meaning that the games you buy aren't attached to sketchy strings where if the distributor loses the license to distribute the game then they pull it off their platform regardless if you paid your hard earned money for it.

Now, I was able to find most of the games on my wishlist on GOG, but there was one I'm a bit confused with, and that's LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham...you see, LEGO Batman 3 is a game that comes with DLC and while GOG's release for the Season Pass includes all the paid DLCs (which are mainly bonus level packs but also contains the "Batman of the Future" bonus character pack, the Steam, Epic Games, Xbox and PlayStation release for the Season Pass only include the bonus level packs...the "Batman of the Future" character pack DLC is sold separately) it doesn't seem to have the "Heroines and Villainesses" and "Rainbow" character packs.

I reached out to GOG via email, and according to them, all the DLCs for LB3 are included, so if anyone bought the game from them could let me know if the "Heroines and Villainesses" and "Rainbow" character pack DLCs are included in GOG's release of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham I'd really appreciate it as I've never played the DLCs growing up and I'd like to use my adult money to give my inner child the chance to play his fav game and to also play all DLCs for the first time.

Thanks for reading, hope you all have a great day!

I'd really appreciate if you guys are willing to take a look at my video. I've got big plans to start making reviews on GOG titles consistently. I really want to highlight the option of actually owning your digital titles and not purchasing licenses for usage. The focus of my channel will be critique regarding any and all titles released on GOG. So if you guys have any requests or suggestions for a game or some criticism regarding my video, it'd be more than appreciated. Have a great sunday, people!
