After thoroughly enjoying GatEB I picked up the GOG copies of 1+2+3 & TSS. I was hoping to use the TSS engine to play through the rest, but it looks like that's not so straightforward.

I see that transferring purchases from other platforms to a Caravel account is no longer supported, so the standard method wont work. Thought I might be able to tinker with the files, but with everything packed into "drodX_0.dat" in the gog releases it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do to move the holds over.

Just want to check that I'm right in thinking that there's just no way to do this with the GOG purchases? Not the end of the world if so, but a bit of a shame, probably would've at least looked to get 1+2+3 elsewhere had I known.

Unfortunately you can't import official holds. At one point they said they were going to update the GoG versions to the latest engine, but that never happened.

So last year I re-bought GatEB and original trilogy from Steam so I could get unlimited undo in the early games. (Also SMS 1-12 since I didn't have those yet.)

Is it possible to get a refund from GoG?

I'd also get in contact with Schik here on the forum, from my experience Caravel are pretty good about giving you codes for other platforms if you have something like this (though note this is not a guarantee as I am not part of the Caravel Games staff).

Thanks for the clarification!

Refunding on GOG is easy enough, so I think for now I'll just do that and grab things on Steam later. I'll get some mileage out of the cloud saves there anyway.
