[Xenonauts-2 Closed Beta Build V3 Released!]

Oh that's how it works... I actually have GOGGalaxy, but I never use it... I prefer standalone installers. OK firing it up now; takes a long time to update but after that it is showing me the beta 3.1. Going to install now. :)

Thanks for the help!

[Xenonauts-2 Closed Beta Build V3 Released!]

I'm a £35 backer and I did receive a GOG code for betas. I've been very busy and didn't get to redeem it until recently. When I did that it added a "Xenonauts 2" item in my GOG library (which is empty, no downloads available). There is no beta download that I can see.

[Desura question]

Thank you Chris for the GOG key! I'm happy that I can play again. Awesome support.

[Desura question]

OK I will forward you the email receipt.

 

But can I get it instead on GOG? I have wised up and prefer to have my games on a platform that doesn't depend on an online service - as aptly exemplified by my experience, they may be here today and gone tomorrow.

[Desura question]

I have a question for those of us who have bought the game on Desura.

 

I bought Xenonauts in 2011 or 2012 and enjoyed many hours of fun with it. It's the remake that is the closest to the original X-COM games, which filled a significant part of my life back in the 1990s. I played Xenonauts quite a bit as well, but then life intervened and had to lay it off for a while.

 

I wanted to play it again during this winter, but then realized that Desura had collapsed sometime during last fall, and I had lost access to all my games on it (fortunately not many) including Xenonauts. I have been checking the website every once in a while, but it hasn't been updated in 7 months now, and I have very little hope that it'll come back in any form.

 

Is there any option for me apart from buying the game again on another (hopefully less volatile) platform?

 

(FWIW I have just found my emailed receipt from Desura for the purchase of Xenonauts - it's from January 6th, 2012)

[Any chance of not having to use Desura?]

My point was: I do not want to install _yet_another_ DRM system on my PC, no matter how low-intrusive it is billed to be. That is all.

[Any chance of not having to use Desura?]

Considering that Desura allows me to disconnect my ADSL, dump the game onto a thumb drive and start it up from there, I don't view it as an intrusive DRM platform.

Yes, and there are many others which allow you to do the same. That was not my point.

[Any chance of not having to use Desura?]

Just preordered the game. I'm also hoping for a standalone preview installer - I have nothing against Desura in particular, but one more DRM system on my PC is one DRM system too much.
