Activating DLC's bought on GOG

#1 Post by hapster »

Hello everyone,

I purchased ToME and DLCs on GOG. Because GOG is not the quickest when it comes to providing recent updates, I thought I'd simply switch to the download files as supplied by te4.org.

I read on a GOG forum thread that I can unlock the DLCs with the key I got with the GOG game. I found the keys, but where do I have to enter them?

greetings, have a nice day,

Wondering if you were able to get this resolved?

Since you want to use the DLCs on the te4.org distribution, I would assume you activate the keys on your account there.

No, unfortunately I was unable to resolve the issue on my own.

I have looked - I feel like - everywhere on the te4.org homepage but was unable to find anything, including in the "my account" section.

I have one suggestion which I have not been able to confirm - I installed GOG in the meantime - would be to install tome from the te4.org homepage. then, in your "vanilla" game, you click on one of the DLC's, which MIGHT lead you to entering your CD key.
So thats one thing you could try.

greetings,

So, actually it is so easy that I have to facepalm myself for not finding it on my own...

So, here is an "for dummies" explanation to activate DLC's bought on GOG.

On the left side of the homepage, there is a menu. In that menu, you will find "Donate". "Donate" has a submenu, which is called "Key redeem". While logged in to your te4.org account, you can enter, one by one, the Keys for ToME4 and the DLCs.
On GOG, you find the keys when you left-click on ToME in your games list (gog.com/account/games). You enter the popup which lets you download the game. In the upper end, you will find an OS selection, something, and then "more". Clicking on "more" opens a drop-down menu, one entry being "CD Keys". When you click on these, you will be prompted with the keys, for ToME as well as all DLCs you have purchased.

All right, I believe this should be simple enough so that even the dummiest dummy can follow.

I hope someone as dummy-ish as me will find this helpful :)

greetings,
hapster
