HypersomniacLive: Anyone know if the Homeworld Remastered Collection puts separate games on one's shelf, and if the box art is identical?
Would anyone like distinct ones?

mrkgnao: MaGog would really like to know the answer to the first question, too.
It is one single entry. See here: http://image.prntscr.com/image/5ccdf4aad40549ee8e41ce5a9ff6233e.png

Barry_Woodward: All the missing legacy boxes have appeared except for Downfall (Redux). That one has been AWOL since I started using Adalia. Any chance you could just upload the artwork manually?

Hmmm, I've just checked and that one seems to be there with the right URL... not sure why it's not showing on your end :/

Can you post a screenshot of the blank box, and check if there are any errors on the page it appears on? It might be something else stopping it from loading and showing...

Thanks Barry :)

Good. Cheers.

With the recent changes in the GOG wiki, which broke a few wiki pages, MaGog cannot be certain whether a game is unbundled or not. Barefoot_Monkey is working on a solution. Luckily most games are not unbundled, but I wasn't sure about this one, especially since I expected the original (non-remastered) games to be standalone bonuses, not part of the primary installer.

It doesn't display in Firefox or Chrome, and I've even tried other computers. If someone else who owns the game could chime in, it might be helpful. I have a theory that there might be more than one entry for Downfall Redux because owners of the original Downfall were offered a code to unlock a discounted version of Redux, rather than the discount being automatically applied. The game is listed on my shelf as Downfall (Redux), while the one being sold currently is Downfall: Redux. I don't know if that minor difference is at all significant, but I thought it might be worth mentioning. I posted a screenshot below.

The url for the installer of my Downfall (Redux) is: https://www.gog.com/downlink/downfall_redux_copy3/en1installer2

Copy3? Looking at the Downfall: Redux store entry again, I see that it includes the original game and a number of goodies that I don't have, which only further supports the idea of separate entries. Hmm...

Adalia, did you take this into account?

Probably not, I just used MaGog to grab the id and it only showed the one I already have on the list.. I'll check those ids later and see.
It does look like I got distracted and stopped midway through fixing it last time XD

The original Downfall version once has been pulled and is now back afaik. Maybe this could explain it?

Right, it should work now. mrkgnao was right and I forgot to use the library ID rather than the catalogue one.

The game was removed on February 16 and has not returned.
What you point to is GOG adding a Russian installer for the still-removed game, for people who had bought it before it was removed.

Oh stupid me - I did not even THINK of this possibility. Thank you for clearing this up.

By the by, why hasn't GOG offered you a job yet? They should implement the improvements you've made so far for everyone and of course give you back pay for the work. If they waved the moving to Poland requirement, allowed you to work from home and paid you to do this full time, would you be game?
