Hi folks! We know that many of you are wondering why Divinity: Original Sin isn't yet available on GOG.com and when will it be released here.

Here's the official update from Larian Studios' Kickstarter page:
We’ve been secretly working on supporting GOG Galaxy, the new sexy online multiplayer platform from GOG.com and are happy to announce that full GOG Galaxy integration will be available for Divinity:Original Sin.

GOG is still working on launching Galaxy, so before that happens, our Kickstarter backers who have selected GOG.com as the digital distribution platform will be able to use Direct IP or LAN options to play in multiplayer. Once GOG Galaxy launches (by the end of August, the folks at GOG tell us), they will be able to take advantage of all the features this DRM-free online gaming platform offers.

So, there you have it. Rest assured that Larian's new monumental RPG is coming to GOG.com, and both the developer and ourselves are making sure you'll get it in the best possible form.

EDIT: The expected release date for this title is August 31, sorry for not communicating that properly.

EDIT#2:

This thread is no longer current. Please refer to the new Divinity: Original Sin - Status Update thread for more information. Thank you! :)

Yes! I edited this post so many times that somehow the expected date for the launch (a Galaxy-supported launch, mind you), that is August 31, somehow got lost. Sorry about that.

Look, guys - I don't know how to put it simpler to leave no room for confusion. The game will be available to KS backers for now, but without the online multiplayer component. The full public GOG.com release is planned for August 31, as our online platform GOG Galaxy should be up to support it by then.

I'm not sure about the Sunday thing. May wait for Monday, September 1st, or go with Friday, August 29. For all we know, Sunday release is also a possibility.

And just one post later, wiggle room is found. ;-)

To the best of my knowledge Larian was to provide us with a build today, so the keys KS backers got from Larian can be activated. Hasn't this happen yet? I'll do my best to give you an update on that ASAP.

Yes, I am being serious. As I said - to the best of my knowledge, the build should have been made accessible to the KS backers by 5PM GMT today. I haven't read the thread, I admit, and for that I am sorry, but to my defense I had a really busy day, week, month, I'm tired and this is late evening for me. I thought the problem was mainly the fact I missed the part about full release date.

I have contacted our product department and I've been told that there's been even more delay than I expected, but the build should be up in about 30 minutes.

I'm very sorry for your stress. Now, that I understand what the actual problem is, I can imagine how you must feel - not being able to start playing the game you're probably as anxious to get your hands on as I am.

I'll let you know as soon as I get the notice the build is up.

EDIT:
Upvoted.

I just got word that the build is up, and hurried to tell you, but I see you guys already know.

Again, sorry for the stress this situation has caused you, and for my not-so-good attempt at explaining it.

I'm sorry that I don't have better news for non-backers, as of today.

Hi,

Have you tried downloading the game with our Downloader?

Have you tried downloading with the Downloader mode turned off?

For those of you having trouble with the links acting up, please send us a ticket to Support as we are trying to troubleshoot this very issue. Please try to provide as much information as possible. Thank you :)

Thanks :)

We do speak with each other in the office but when it comes to technical issues like this, it's best to have everything in a central location so that we can determine, instead of assuming, both the scope of the problem and inform the proper department along with the information collected via support tickets about the problem.

In short, support tickets keep everything organized :)

I only mentioned the Downloader twice, once to see whether it worked and once to see if there was an issue with having the Downloader mode turned on and the person attempting to download the game doesn't have the Downloader installed on their system.

The reason I asked for those affected to log a support ticket is because if there is a server-side issue with the downloads, we need to see exactly which region or regions are affected as we don't have just one server but several of them around the world, as is standard for a Content Delivery Network or CDN.
