Can anyone confirm if these are broken right now?

Crystal Project just updated and no blue dot flag was tripped for that game.

I don't know if anyone has a clue how their library update flags work these days. I get the feeling they might have to be tripped manually (not by design, but just because something broke in the badly engineered guts of the website, and they don't know how to fix it without breaking five other things, so they're stuck either doing this manually or...not doing it at all, which is where we were at for a couple months last year). If so, any backlogged dots probably won't show up until Monday, at the earliest.

EDIT: To more directly answer the question, I got a dot for Grim Dawn (which did indeed get an update) in the last couple days, so the feature as a whole isn't completely broken.

These dots working comes and goes, but recently including this morning they worked for me.

It's actually not the website. The 'dots' are part of the Galaxy API infrastructure, the website only displays them. They do not get set manually, but when files are changed within the project and released for direct download (offline installers, zips and so on). And yep, that can be buggy as well.

And of course you also get a dot when a Mac or Linux version or foreign language files have been changed which do not concern you when you only want the english Windows version.

Just to be clear, I have never used Galaxy but I still see the blue marks. (E.g. The Witcher 2 has just been updated, since last month.)

Oh, you do, even if it's not the Galaxy client. Galaxy is much more than just the client, it's the whole infrastructure how GOG handles games and game versions. The files which you download from the website are created by that system.
Northgard just updated, no flag.

I put in a support ticket. Hopefully will be fixed soon.

Grazie! :) There's a comment to be made about Checking In And Out (the software version control protocol) but it might be too abstruse for practical use, so I'll leave it (paraliptically) unsaid.

How do you know so much about Galaxy?
I just got flagged for updates today so they may be fixed. I had no flags over the weekend or yesterday.
Same here.

Looks like we are gtg!!!

It's not THAT much. It's just basic information from the forum and from some docs which were posted, also version history on gogdb.org can answer some question if you have a general idea how SVMs and build servers works in general.

Uploaded, but installers only available after a few days means that either they run the installer it through some automated test routines or the version needs to be approved manually. The latter is more probably, since automated tests usually don't take days.
