Well a funny thing happened this weekend during this stay at home directive. I started playing Xcom Chimera. It is a nice addition to the Xcom lineup. After about 3 hours of SWAT like dispatches and breach initiatives I missed something, base building. I fired up Xcom2 and all I will say is, I will probably finish Chimera next weekend because I am right into Xcom2 right now. I saw that there is some posts about Crysis and this is why I love TPU as I too got that on GOG and loved that the game has not crashed. I was wondering about the resolutions and that too has been solved .

Yeah the GOG version of Crysis running so well and still looking really good is why I am not doing backflips over the remaster.

is it the drm being removed that made it smoother? or does the gog version of crysis just have extra code to help it be up to date with modern systems?

i did not find a post for this but its little bit late with 3 days to go and better late then never.

I do not know the answer to that. I don’t have any problem with my resolution either, which is a frequent complaint on the non-gog version. I know some of their games have been improved a little for modern systems, with System Shock 2 coming to mind.

Alien: Isolation on Steam for 1.50 [UK Pounds] today 4/27/2020 just putting this here as there are so many distribution platforms now that it's possible to miss great deals.

Don't know why the season pass is still listed, can't see anything new appearing for such a old game.

A combination of both. GOG goes the extra mile to make sure releases are both stable and optimized.

I think I will buy the GOG version too. Before I buy can you tell me is there a speed difference. Please post FPS difference if any between DVD version & GOG.

Please post FPS difference if any between DVD version & GOG.

I think the last time I did a comparison between the two versions was when I had a C2Q Q9550 and had it OC'd to 3.6ish(?)ghz with a GTX560ti. It's been a while. IIRC the difference was about 5 or 6 %. Now, the difference will be much less on modern hardware. The biggest difference I remember is the occasional hiccup in the framerate with DVD version. Let me reinstall the DVD in a separate folder on my current gaming system and I'll jump back with an edit.

EDIT; Ok, just tested it out. The DVD version needed to be set for Vista compatibility mode to run(which the GOG version installer automatically sets), but otherwise ran fine. It was still a bit slower than the GOG version, but not by much, less than 5%. However, the occational glitch was still present(ice shards getting stuck in trees and building walls, rockets flying off at right angles, birds walking a foot off the ground, etc) with the DVD version. A few of them are still present in the GOG version but don't happen as often.

store.steampowered.com

and a little tip for the not so profi gamers like me:
right after start don't attack all ya can see but try to sneakily get as much loot as possible before getting into big fights.
the first area was updated to be harder after players said it´s too easy and now its the contrary.
and there are places on the first island not visible on map (only after visiting they show up) with good loot in the opposite direction the 1st mission will send ya to.

and sometimes running away like a chicken is a viable option.

The occasional hiccup maybe the game checking the DVD rom is still In the drive or it maybe loading something from the drive. I think the best way to test this is to remove the DVD rom when in-game & see what happens (not tested).

The DVD rom version runs on win 7 with no problems out of the box apart from 1080p slow speed.

If you like strategy games this is a no brainer. Make sure you install the RADIOUS mod so that you can recruit units from any building. It was really fun building armies of just Warrior monks or Ninja.
