Purchasing from GOG...

[AugustWest]

As GOG has KSP on sale this month, I think I'm going to grab a copy from them.

Been playing the demo and watching Twitch/Youtube for too long and it's time to jump in!

Is the GOG purchase a steam key or full download?

If it is a download, how are upgrade/updates handled?

Do I get them right from Squad?

OS is Ubuntu 14.04.4 on a Dell AMD A8 12GB laptop.

Thanks!

A GOG purchase is entirely separate from Steam, and you download the game direct from GOG. Updates come as the whole game in a fresh, updated download, just like the store.

To add to that, updates to the game are usually available later on GOG than Steam or the store, by anywhere from a few hours to a day or two. This is because there is a verification of files that GOG does, and AFAIK has nothing to do with Squad.

Sometimes if there are small updates (like 1.0.5.1024 to 1.0.5.something) there is just tiny downloadable file which upgrades the game without reinstalling it from scratch. Also multiple OS are supported, for Win, Linux and Mac.

Thanks for the replies!!

Bought it this AM and if it wasn't for the answers I found here on these forums, I would have 

been very displeased with the performance. No text in settings or ship lists in the VAB....

I have a graphics glitch with the Delta V display on the navball I need to investigate.
