RedMoxi Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Looking to buy this game, possibly for coop, could anyone advise if there is any key difference between the two with regards to online coop play and mods available? Thanks in advance for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerEthos Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Steam version will always require Steam to run before launching. GoG title is standalone. Here is more info, first result on Google for your query: https://steamcommunity.com/app/108600/discussions/0/1696049513779080575/ I own both.

BoogieMan Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I've heard for some games GOG gets patches a bit later than others. I don't know how common that is, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefined Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I have the GOG version and I'm able to download mods by using SteamCMD. I even wrote a batch script to automate the process. The only downside is that mods aren't automatically updated. Here's the code. Instructions: 1.Download SteamCMD: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Downloading_SteamCMD 2. Open a text file in the same folder as steamcmd.exe 3. Modify line 4 to reflect where you have the folder for "steamcmd" ("D:\Games") and where the files should be moved to once they're downloaded ("C:\Users\YourNameHere\Zomboid") 4. Save the text file with the .bat file extension set /p id=Enter the ID of the mod you wish to download: Start "" /wait steamcmd +login anonymous +workshop_download_item 108600 %id% +quit echo Moving folder... robocopy D:\Games\steamcmd\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\%id% C:\Users\YourNameHere\Zomboid\ /E /MOVE echo Done! Once it's all set up, just go to the mod page you want to download, copy the mod ID (it's in the address bar, but can also usually be found at the bottom of the mod's description), run the .bat file, paste the ID, hit enter, and that's it.
