adaliabooks: Right, I've pushed a little update to fix that bug.

I'd copied and pasted something from one part of the script to another and forgot to copy a previous dependency. To be honest the question isn't why some of the game cards weren't loading... it's why any of them were working at all.

But hopefully that should fix Godfather's issue, and if not it should fix any as yet unreported issues.

I've also added the option to turn debugging on and off from the options menu; which saves me having to remember to turn it off everything I upload a new update and also means it's easier for people to put debugging on if there is an issue and it doesn't require fiddling with the actual script.
Either this bug wasn't squashed entirely, or GOG did/changed something that prevents AF from doing its thing as intended - Victor Vran presents me the Galaxy-laden installers even though I've opted for the Galaxy-free ones in AF.

So does The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Dex, all of the The Witcher games, and I suspect that every game that had its installer bundled with Galaxy (stopped checking after these).

Hmmm, I'm not getting the same issue. Are you definitely on the latest version?
And do you get any errors in the console?

I'll check my Firefox install in case it's browser specific.


Edit: Nope, everything's working in Firefox too...

I was just about to edit my post, but you beat me to it.

I think the "issue" was the result of the actual issue of switching (quickly) between game cards on top of the time (delay) it takes the script to do its thing. And now that I think about it, I wonder - could it be that the former perhaps messes with the later?

I'm not sure what you mean by the last line?
Switching game cards quickly has always been a bit of a problem, though I thought I'd fixed most of the related bugs a while back. The time delay is supposed to help deal with that (I think, I should really keep some kind of log...)

I mean following - it takes a while for the script to kick in and do its thing on the game cards. If one switches between game cards before the Galaxy-free installers fully show/load, one perhaps gets the same issue as with the incorrect link(s) of game extras? And the more one switches around, the less time the script has to do its thing properly?

Wondering because the "issue" went away when I opened a game card after having left open another for quite a while (had to step away from the PC).

Got you, yes it is quite possible that something along those lines is happening. I'll test it out when I get a chance and see if it's a common issue or just an odd fluke.
The removed "NEW" flags aren't as much of a problem as I thought. Obviously they are not used as an indicator if you still can refund a game or not. GOG seem to have an internal indicator for that. At least they still have refunded games which did not had the "NEW" flag anymore.

adaliabooks: I don't really know enough about how Gog sets and removes the New flag to be sure but I don't think AF does anything that should have caused that. All the game card stuff happens when you open the game cards, it doesn't open them itself (which might cause the tags to disappear).
I already assumed that AF does nothing with the individual game entries before you open the game card itself. Thanks for the confirmation!

adaliabooks: But I just had a look in my library to see what was going on and I only had one New tag (on Deadlight, received free during the sale) whereas I'm sure I had more before... so it may well be something Gog has done?
That has been my first guess too. My support request has been forwarded to the web team. I just wanted to rule out other possible sources. And I was a bit afraid that I would not be able to refund games which had lost the "NEW" flag. :)

In your orders page, games that are eligible for a refund should display text along the lines of "this title is covered by the 30 days money back guarantee" (not sure if it still shows), regardless of the "NEW" tag in your library.

It still shows a little green flag and a text that links to the money back guarantee. But that's not the same. This flag and text is still shown when you already have downloaded a game.

There are 2 different money back guarantees on GOG:
- The withdrawal right, which is mentioned in the user agreement (section 6.11d) and valid only as long as you not have downloaded a game.
- The "Money-back guarantee" the front page and the flag in the orders list refer to, which is valid only when a game does not work on your system and GOG does not get it to work.

As the little green flags in the order history are still shown when you already have downloaded a game they only can signalize if an order is still covered by the money back guarantee for technical reasons. But there seems to be no user visible flag which indicates if an order is still covered by the withdrawal right. At least that's how I understand it.

I had not realised that text refers only to the case of tech issues and not the withdrawal right, which it should, imo. But now that you mentioned it, I think that the orders page never kept track of new games (i.e. the "NEW" tag was never present).

But the date a game was added to your library should help keep track if you can still make use of the withdrawal right, given that orders are listed from newest to oldest (with no way of changing it).

As both money back guarantees share the same 30 days time period you also can use the little green flags as an indicator for the withdrawal right. But you have to keep track yourself which games you already have downloaded and, even worse, you never know if not already opening the game page in your library or other non-downloading actions, like looking at the changelog, invalidate the withdrawal right.

That's an interesting point, given how "GOG content" is defined in the User Agreement. I never considered a game card or changelog as "GOG content", but you got me thinking.

Did you ask GOG Support about it when you reported the issue with the disappearing "NEW" tag? If not, getting GOG's official stand on the matter (i.e. submit a support ticket) may well be in order.

I have a problem. Since yesterday I can no longer see attachments. Instead I get a completely white page. Everything is fine when I turn off Adelia Fundementals. Any idea what's going on?

I use Firefox 55.0.3 on Windows 7. Some other stuff that is running: Barefoot Essentials, Ghostery, Stylish, avast Online Security and uBlock Origin.
