I'm on a forever login loop, also already logged in. I also can't find search function in gog 2.0 appi or I'd try it on there. Any ideas also sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

1. Try another web browser
2. Log out. Clear cache. Close all internet windows. Try again.
3. Wait 24 hours

One of these should do it. Good luck.

Cleared the cache last night after pp/ebay decided to wig out. I'm leaning towards last chrome update borked a few things.
Something strange is going on with gog site. Yesterday it was "invisible" for google search engine. They are doing something probably. We can only wait.

I'm always afraid when they are changing anything. Some changes destroyed part of gog that made me join gog years ago. For example the promise that I will always have access to game I've bought.

This happened to me before and I contacted support...What actually happened was that my date on my computer was wrong. It was 2018 instead of 2019 and after I reset my time and date on windows the problem was fixed..You should probably check if the same thing happened to you. If not try and contact support.

You WILL always have access to the games you bought on GOG...IF you download the offline installers and store them on an HDD, etc.

try
In the meantime you can use following workaround:
Please add games to your wishlist by adding them to your cart, clicking on it, hovering your cursor over the game and clicking "Add to wishlist" next to "Remove"

There was no "IF". There was "you can", not "you have to or you lose game in state you have bought it". There was that you can backup but it will always waits for you on gog servers. There was that games will work on new systems not latest system. That stood on front site when I've joined gog. I don't know where that "latest" come from but even this is not true, especially that a lot of games still doesn't work on windows 10 but huge amount of games lost part of compatibility since I've bought them.

If I wanted to storage games myself I could bought physical copies at those years.

Please, forgive me if something is not clear but I do my best, I'm not good at english.

Ironically, the offline installers that you don't wan't to use, serve the same purpose as your physical copies did back in the days before "games-as-a-download-only" and "always-online" became a thing...to storage our games in a "physical form" (HDD) to being pulled out and played, whenever we feel the longing for game X or game Y.

With the added bonus, of course, that GOG's offline installers will run on your modern OS, while your precious physical copies probably won't run anymore (IF you're not willing and/or capable to do the same work, that GOG does).

Hint: the latter is the reason why so many of us re-buy games here, of which we have already the physical copy sitting on our shelf.

Let me also be as clear as I can: IF you rely solely on some servers being up and running forever, you haven't understood what DRM free really means, and you could equally well buy all your games on Steam, instead.

Because: IF you don't storage your offline installers, there MIGHT be a very rude awakening lying in front of you, IF the servers ever got shut down for good.

And IF that ever happens (and I'm not saying it will, mind you), there won't be someone around, to whom you can complain about your games no longer being accessible - with one sole exception: yourself.

You will only be able to blame yourself, for not storing them on your HDD, when you still had the opportunity.

Ain't that true? I think it's "Kingdom Come", which weighs 60+ GB on your HDD.

Just snagged Wolfenstein Old Blood and offline installer is 35GB and it's not that big of a game length wise really.

Where have I written that I don't want to use offline installers? That's a problem that I want to, and better, it's the only way I prefer but I can't get games in compatibility state which I bought.

"Modern" doesn't mean "latest" what have you suggested before. None of this means that you have to storage it by yourself.

Where have you got this from? What? It has no "hard" relation. I mean one doesn't causes the rest. If you are able to do something doesn't mean you have to.

To be clear. I'm going to buy some game. I check compability and success. It will work on my PC. GOG says that I will be able to download it anytime I want and it will always waits for me in my gog account library. But when I want to download it some time later, it becomes clear that they changed offline installer in the way which remove compatibility with my PC.

Especially this days when win10 doesn't have some parts of OS related to gaming which earlier systems had, and cause win10 is service, not operating system, it's important to keep offline installers compatible with previous OS's. In my opinion it's last call to do it before gog will change every installer for win 10 and delete old ones.
Are you sure that next non skippable win update won't close win 10 for only approved programs?

You are confusing intentional action made by gog with random event that no one could counteract like shut down/malfunction of the servers or end of business.

It's impossible for normal customer to keep an eye on every change gog makes and to storage massive amount of TB. The storage is a part of digital distribution and reason of using one.
I haven't bought any uplay game in digital distribution because those days they made you download it in 30 days or you lost your purchase. Gog was different that's why I choose it.

And your backup HDD will die quicker than GOG will. If it will happen and you won't be able to get version that could run on your PC because gog changed it, you will only be able to blame yourself, why did you guard some non-user-friendly practices years before, instead of pointed a problem and help to find solution that will make everyone happy.

topolla: ...
There's probably no solution, unless I guess you hold GOG hostage until they make changes or something? GOG will likely die quicker than Steam, so if you don't want to back-up your games, use the competition I guess?

tfishell:
Why do you think so? Where it come from that the steam is any solution in this case? Steam changes installation process even more often and there is no alternative.

Maybe am I wrong but I think it's not too hard to change solution for older games. I mean separate rom(source) and make patch which changing it for OS.
Nobody has problem with patching. Preparation for new OS is some kind of patching process but before user get the installer.

To be clear. I don't expect gog to patch old system installers. Just make last working installer available for user.

I've said everything there was to say.
And since I see no point in trying to argue with people who don't want to listen to reason...I'll end it here.
Have a nice one.
