the only "update" is the Soundtrack Flac. tried staying logged in and downloaded this by itself and ran the track, while still logged in to both GOG website and the utility the red update still there for me too.
however, my GOG utility became unresponsive and when I tried and download it again it crashes then I restart utility and the red indicator is now gone.-I wouldn't try forcibly crashing the utility though.

If you are using Google Chrome you can get Barefoot Essentials which has settings to ignore game updates.

Dragonsphere has been "recently updated" for three or four days now, it must be a HUGE and IMPORTANT update! Maybe it's an HD overhaul? A re-imagining that makes it completely 3D/open world with a world size that makes Skyrim look small? A...soundtrack update? One can only wonder!

Allow me to refer you to my reply to another user with the same issue.


It'd be better if you'd linked to the actual Barefoot Essentials 2 thread, so he can see that he has choices aside from Google Chrome.

Limiting it to only Google Chrome, does the script/ extension and the work of Barefoot_Monkey a disservice.

To be more precise: I think you need to click on the download button for the game (or updated component), before the flag goes away. I usually click the download button (in non-downloader mode) and cancel the download right away, just to get rid of the pesky notification.

Sometimes the notification goes away right away, sometimes it stays there for hours or days. Someone mentioned Dragonsphere, for some reason it didn't even show which downloadable component was updated, and even if clicking on all of them, the notification would still stay there. But now it is finally gone.
