Time for the next surprise in the GOG.com's Holiday Celebrations. We're still working on adding Windows 7 compatibility to some of the games which have some issues with the newest operating system from big M. We're happy to let you know that [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura]Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and Myst: Masterpiece Edition are now fully compatible with both 32 and 64-bit Windows 7. To get the latest, Windows 7 compatible versions of the games, you have to re-download and install them again.

The is our third surprise in GOG.com's Holiday Celebrations. Don't know what we're talking about? For the next two weeks, we're going to reveal a little something for you once a day, until December 14 when we reveal the BIG surprise!

Want more? Check back tomorrow for another GOG holiday surprise!

Smannesman: So, does this mean you have uploaded new versions of these games and I should re-download them to get these latest versions?
Or does it just mean people on the forums have gotten those games to work on Windows 7 and you're taking credit?
More information is really required when you put out a message like this.
It means we've uploaded new builds of those games and you need to re-download the games and install them again to have the latest, Windows 7 compatible version.

cogadh: What about users without Win 7 (XP and Vista)? Do any of the changes you made affect us enough that we should also download and re-install?
If it works fine for you, and it should, there's no reason to re-download it again.

Hi

To summary our changes in Myst and Arcanum.

First of all, Windows 7 versions of Myst Masterpiece is 1.0.0.20 (previous one was 1.0.0.13), Arcanum is 1.0.0.10 (was 1.0.0.9). If your downloaded games are previous versions it means it might stuck somewhere on proxy servers and try to redownload it again.

Myst additionally gets bigger about 30mb due to QuictTime 7 installer bundled with the installer (not required to install if you already got one).

And last thing - if the game works fine on your machine there is absolutely no reason to redownload it. We didn't add any content to the game, didn't change the game in anyway, it's still the same game, but works better on Windows 7 machines (and other systems where we previously stepped into some bugs). All mods compatible with previous version works here, as well as additional content.

Best
Grah
