Referring to the issue that the expansion and races are not unlocked, and to my previous post. I found out that the problem is not in the crack but is a know bug from GOG version, that the dev refuse to fix, but a single user made it. I try to post the links and the copy of them here, hoping to do not break rules, as they are a forum and a drive file, i apologize to the administrators if i'm wrong. https://www.gog.com/forum/spellforce_series/solved_starting_expansion_campaigns_from_the_base_game/page1
Copy of the post of the forum on the link, plus the direct link to the fix file in googledrive.
""I got tired of waiting for THQ to fix the GOG version so I took the matter in my own hands. Here is what you need to do in order to play all expansions (Fallen God and Soul Harvest) from the base game (Spellforce 3 Reforced):
Install all three games. My install path is "E:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced" but yours could be slightly different.
Copy first expansion "SpellForce 3 - Soul Harvest\bin_addons_win32\EXP1_Campaign" folder into the base game ("SpellForce 3 - Reforced\bin_addons_win32\EXP1_Campaign"). Then do the same for DLC_Bavaria folder. You can also copy EXP1_KOR if you want Korean language.
Copy second expansion "SpellForce 3 - Fallen God\bin_addons_win32\EXP2_Campaign" folder into the base game ("SpellForce 3 - Reforced\bin_addons_win32\EXP2_Campaign"). You can also copy EXP2_KOR if you want Korean language.
After this your "E:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\bin_addons_win32" folder should contain these subfolders: DLC_Bavaria, DLC_DDE, EXP1_Campaign, EXP2_Campaign, SF3_Campaign, SF3_KOR (and optionally EXP1_KOR and EXP2_KOR).
Rename file "E:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\wrapper\thqnocfg.dat" into "thqnocfg.dat.bak" (this is for backup, we will override this file in the next step). If something goes wrong then delete the patched file and rename this one back to thqnocfg.dat.
Download patched thqnocfg.dat file and save it in base game's "E:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\SpellForce 3 - Reforced\wrapper" folder.
This is one of my All-Time Favourite Games,A very good blend of RTS and RPG. I played all the parts(SF1,2,3).And admit,i wanna more more more Spellforceππ€π€π€
In Case if you wondering about the Size,the 2 Addons are also included(Soul Harvest+Fallen Gods)
If you want "more" consider then: Spellforce Platinum Edition(spellforce one plus 2 expansions), and SpellForce 2 Anniversary Edition(base game plus Dragon Storm expansion, excluding the second and third add-on, they are separated/stand alone and awful, made by different developers). The first one can be perfected with some mini-MOD and the second, in the anniversary edition, can be bugged a little and need 2 patch(Spellforce2_2_01_Patch + SpellForce 2 Hardware Patch 1.2). They both two are great title and can works on win 10 with modern resolution and 16:9.
I'm glad you already knew the series! For anybody that can be interested in the last (for that i know) game the developers, Phenomic, make: https://www.skylords.eu/ , it's actually a totally free, community server made, very unique and original.
Sadly the update v163238 365571-DINOByTES is lacking full unlocking of the two campaign expansion. They are listed in game MOD menu but locked in campaign selection. But i repeat: the folder of exp are there, 20GB, without exp the game should be 30GB, but it is 50GB, they are not unlocked despite they are listed in menu MOD in main screen. From the comments here appear that in previosu versions was palyable in full, i suppose it's a cracker mistake for some late version, so i will try to reinstall 163175 without update. Hope someone find the solution fix or full working version will be upload.
No, even the 163175 have expansions campaign locked. Luckily IGG have and mantain the torrent site, with different side versions torrent! I have searched with "Bit Che" torrents most recent version that they are not Dinobytes one, and not v.163238 because i tried already that from other site. I found v161052-PLAZA torrents that is from IGG, i dunno what was the last good version. I suggest to try that, you will found it listed in torrent site page.
I can confirm that v161052-PLAZA can be the last version properly cracked, i even download a torrent v161554 GOG but same issue. I can also inform that all the four campaign are indeed present and working in the PLAZA vers, my mistake, don't see the page scrolling menu.
Yes, i can create a LAN match for any mode, although i don't have tested it. I have palyed hundreds hour at the two prequels by Phenomic dev, both in single and with pals in the coop maps campaign, this game, made by different dev company, is more narrative/visual novel, and have less coop content, in fact SForce one and two was created with a real 2-3 player coop mode, in this seem a secondary option added. The two prequels are very good at today both in interface and graphic and works perfectly on modern mierdasoft OS, you can find any fix for higher resolutions or litlle MOD improvements, not essential, but stay away from the bugged "steam edition" for Spellforce 2, and be advised about the shoddy two last stand alone expansion, all made by THQ, the best is Hero Edition(that have some unofficial maps and mods selected directly by the dev) if you are lucky to find it...otherwise search for Universe edition that have both titles and all the goods made by Phenomic.
Not your fault, same for me, i check the folder and i can see the two expansion are there (folder exp1 and exp2) with their 6G and 13G size. Also in the game MOD menu there's a list of content, is checked for the two add-on, they are present but not fully activate, the cracker made some mistake.
did you guys update it today ?? i downloaded 9 parts and the 10th part had the version named on it .... do i need to download all the 9 parts all over again ?

Im having a weird bug at the soul harvest DLC first mission after you woke up where the two mercenaries come in and wanted to talk to the ambassador, the dialog suddenly skipped and i cant move my heroes afterward. i can move my camera around, select my heroes, open menu, inventories etc. but thats about it.
i did a reinstall but the problem still persist. anyone having the same problem here?
okay nvm, i fixed it, apparently you cant have the mercenary thats initiating the dialog to be a woman, he has to be a male, or at least in my case, a human male.
