Have you checked your game version? please make sure that it is installed accordingly
I am keep getting that “Some errors occurred, see patch log” error when trying to update the game from 1.0.542 to 1.0.3. Any solution on this guys?
Have you checked your game version? please make sure that it is installed accordingly
Yeah, I have. My current version is 1.0.542 and the 424 to 1.0.523 and 1.0.523 to 1.0.542 installers also confirming that by saying that my game is up-to-date when I was trying to run them. So I guess something is really wrong with the 1.0.542 to 1.0.3 installer
Not really sure about the problem 🙁
But take note that patches take a very long time to install mostly on a regular hard drive and the progress bar does not move. Therefore, you need to be patient and wait for a long time.
Yeah, well, I waited for a lot of time and it still hit me with the same “Some errors occurred, see patch log”. Seems like there are problems with offline installers for these patches, the guys here and those on GoG’s forum also have been reporting the same error too. If you have the game updated with 1.0.3. patch, would you kindly upload it here? At least that will do for now over this faulty patch.
For those who have problems with the patch. We have updated the full installer to v1.0.3 please check 😀
Finally, thanks you so goddamn much
Hello, does anybody know of a trainer that works with versions 1.0.542 or 1.0.3 ?

Scratch that, patch 1.1.2 is out, that was fast guys
Ive heard there is an issue with save game on 1.1 version (from the developer). They’ve already added new patch 1.1.1 which fixes 2 major bugs with save games and something else.
Maybe it’s smarter to wait patch 1.03 to 1.1.1 and skip patch 1.1 for now.
