JA3 Patch 1.2.0 Released - not GOG
Could be the usual discrepancy in how GoG builds are just numbered differently?

Jagged Alliance 3 got updated to 1.0 yesterday, maybe 1.0 on GoG = 1.2.0?
still in offline separate JA3 GOG patches highest is 1.1.1a


something in the JA3 v GOG is weird - very weird

Can't do it myself right now, but maybe someone who already updated the GoG version to 1.0 could confirm whether it includes the changes of 1.2.0 or not.

If that's the case, then 1.0 on GoG = 1.2.0.

1.1.1a is higher than 1.0

should be 1.1.1a - > 1.2.0

GOG version 1.0 is very very weird (I previously downloaded 1.0b GOG version)

There is no reason for game versions to be numbered differently on GOG unless their files are majorly different too, and the only reason for that to be so is if the GOG version is missing content and/or features.

So that's not merely a "usual discrepancy" as in the different numbers are a benign thing that makes no difference; rather, they are indications that the GOG version is missing something, or many things, and therefore worse.

And, is this game on GOG still missing the Steam Workshop-exclusive mod that the devs made and published which shows the "chance to hit" percentage? If so, that itself is another clear indication of second-class citizen treatment that has never been resolved.

Very important: "And, is this game on GOG still missing the Steam Workshop-exclusive mod that the devs made and published which shows the "chance to hit" percentage? If so, that itself is another clear indication of second-class citizen treatment that has never been resolved." GOG please immediate update JA3 GOG - now Steam version is better.

As I said earlier - the discrepancy and versioning out of order that occurs sometimes, for some games.

1.0 is the last build that was uploaded by THQ Nordic/Haemimont, and we have to assume that it therefore contains the latest (1.2.0) changes made to the game.
What's left to do is to confirm this assumption.

I think they just messed up the version number - I installed the latest patch without problems. As for the CtH mod, it's been uploaded to Nexusmods for people who aren't using the Steam version.

It's available on Nexusmod since more than two months now, for all game versions, uploaded by a third party however. In July a updated version was added.

There's a bunch of other mods as well

You're jumping to conclusions again without knowing all the facts.

What we see here (in the gog upload log) is the number given to the GOG galaxy framework, not the real version number that is used in the game internally. "1.1.1a'" displayed on Galaxy / offline downloads was never the real game version number displayed when playing the game, the real version was "1.1.1.340446". There is no such thing as "a" in standardized version numbers, the number "1.1.1a" was given by the person who managed the upload.

The current version after the patch displayed in the game is "1.2.0.343131", the game's changelog lists it as "1.2" (see attachment).

But even if the ingame version number was different: Version is nothing but a sequence of numbers, doesn't mean much. Any speculation about the reasons is just that: speculation. The version number of Alan Wake differed for quite a while on all platforms. It was complete chaos.

Prejustice never did any good. Once in a while try to evaluate facts without being angry or disappointed or whatever state you chose for yourself.

edit: added links to the mods.

The GOG version got updated from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 now, the naming of the installers has also been corrected.
