adaliabooks: I mean just visiting https://www.gog.com/account/messages to view your messages. Although as you said you got some of the PMs (or at least could see they had been sent) that would suggest you had managed to get to the messages page...

HypersomniacLive: Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I can access the pages via the Account button, the problem is that I can't interact with anything on each of them:
- Clicking on games on my shelf or in my list does nth; this also means that I can't switch from shelf to list and vice versa view. Also the game counter is caught in an endless spinning loop.
- I can't switch between users in my PM box to read or reply to their messages, clicking on their names does nth, and have no "send now" button under the field to compose a new message.
- Clicking on my gift codes also does nth.

Only the wishlist seems to work since a couple of hours earlier.

It's like scripts are disabled on those pages (obviously they're not, otherwise I wouldn't be able to log in and access them), but it's because the system doesn't fully acknowledge that I'm indeed logged in as user HypersomniacLive and have the right to access the content of my account pages.

I've started a dedicated thread to see how many others have this problem.
Ah, sorry. I misunderstood.
It does definitely seem to be a script problem, which unfortunately probably means there's little we could do from this side... (or me anyway, my HTML and Javascript knowledge is fairly bare bones)
It's just odd that only some people are getting it...

innocuous77: Trying to upload a pic of the offending piece of tech...

The blank space is where the conventional HD went (now living happily in my PS3:)

Dammit...
I see 3 large headed gold colored screws that appear to hold the entire SATA assembly in place, which is what you want out.
I also see 2 black screws that hold the individual PCI cards in place, these 2 may have to come out to remove the assembly but I doubt it.
See my pic.

EndreWhiteMane: Yeah, that threads getting pretty murky but I get your point. Best is probably to see if Judas is around and PM him, he can at least get to a support person over the weekend.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: I so wish I could reply to your latest PM (cheers for the chuckles), but unfortunately I can't.
And I also can't PM Judas, or anyone else for that matter.
I'll try to catch him when I get done fixing this laptop. :-)

innocuous77: Mommy?
There is no mommy in the David Cage zone.
There is only pain, confusion, frustration and utter disappointment.

First thing - I want to shake the hand of whoever typed that into Amazon with the question marks included.
For anyone who suffered through it, it's a beautifully subtle commentary on the bullshit they wanted to spew.

Interactive drama? No, you godsdamned liars, it's a murder mystery that turns into a psychotic mish-mash clusterfuck by the end. And your "intuitive control scheme" is nothing but quick-time events and picking answers while a timer runs so you have to pick fast before it runs out and sticks you with a default response.

Extensive replayability? CoughcoughBULLSHITcoughcough, pardon me while I clean freshly spewed coffee from my monitor. Only hardcore masochists lacking a convenient dominatrix will EVER play that more than once. (and I would know, I have it queued up for replay on my desktop as we speak)
At the end, you decide which faction you don't give a shit about to give a McGuffin you don't give a shit about to.
That is it.

Multiple characters? Okay, that one's accurate. You can play as the primary halfwit, you can play as the freak who ends up as the halfwit's love interest for NO REASON WHATSOEVER, you can play as the halfwit's black stereotype sidekick who you can choose to have piss off entirely for the last bit of the game (and no, I AM NOT KIDDING, YOU CAN CLICK A BUTTON AND THEY LEAVE FOR FLORIDA. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THEIR RESOLUTION.), and you get stuck playing as the halfwit's cookie-cutter brother in a gods-fucking-awful stealth section that will make you gnash your teeth and wish David Cage would be stricken with gangrene of the hands and throat so he can never present more hackjob garbage to people ever again.

Cinematic score? Okay, that's also accurate. Angelo Badalamenti is frigging amazing, and if you want to hear more, check out the scores for Lost Highway, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive or Blue Velvet.
His talent is squandered like having a multiple doctorate holder dunking fries into grease at a McDonald's where no one washes their hands after taking a shit and EVERY SINGLE ORDER is delivered wrong.

Uncut version of the game? Remember how I said that the halfwit and the shoehorned-in love internet get together in the game.

Well, they do, and in the uncut version you get something that's actually kind of amazing in its awfulness.
(Bear with me here, some setup is required, and yes, spoilers if you want to play this. Also, you might be inclined to self-harm if you do. Just saying.)

All right, it's the third act, and the world is slowly freezing to death globally because of....reasons. (Just shut up and play the game, you sick self-loathing-riddled fool.)

And the halfwit is undead because of...reasons. And the cop love interest loves him because of....reasons.

And she never notices that he's undead despite mentioning that he's ice cold to the touch and doesn't produce steam when he breathes because of....reasons. (Also, FUCK YOU, David Cage, because of...well, all the reasons, really.)

And there's a sex scene because to a hack, fucking immediately equals intimacy, heightened stakes and emotional connection.

But here's the thing...this is what makes it all so beautifully, dementedly absurd and awful and brilliant in its awfulness, like a gun nut who manages to drop their fully loaded gun while cleaning it, and the bullet managing to somehow ricochet and kill everyone they've ever loved in that same bullet's magical, horrific trajectory.

Three words - Interactive. Corpse. Fucking.

It pains me that I've never conceived of such a monstrosity on my own. But I am not lying. That's a real thing. It happens.

I don't know how to close out this explanation/rant/condemnation any better than that.

Correction - edited to reflect my own poor memory. The sex scene in which a woman and a talking corpse engage in intercourse is NOT interactive in the sense of having quicktime controls during.

However, after seeing the video, I am reminded that the health meter for both characters increases during the act, turning an insanely absurd attempt at something meaningful into a power-up that shows you a few seconds of digital breasts after you pick it up.

No, but I participated in the Witcher Adventure Beta; the bloody thing didn't work properly back then, and I uninstalled everything, so this could be related, as I'm also getting the error on all of my account pages.

I'm starting to think it could be a combination of things - something Galaxy related, plus logging out and clearing cache and cookies, and the notorious by now inability of GOG to code properly for Gecko Engine based browsers.

And look how many people have come forward with the same issues, good thing I decided to start the thread and not wait for Firek's response.

I think I was actually wrong, though...

There are two sex scenes in the game. One of them is interactive, one isn't. The interactive one is between the halfwit and his ex-girlfriend, and the non-interactive one is the corpse fucking one.

Somehow, my brain mashed the two together.

So, in actuality, I actually did conceive of IQCF all on my own.

Simultaneously, I feel so much better and so much worse about myself based on that.

Wow.... Interactive Quicktime Corpsefucking.........You can bribe the censors so much they could let that into your game? I mean, I am not a fan of censorship and I think a depiction of necrophilia is okay as long as it is for the sake of artistic merit but......huh? I'm not mad at Farenheit but instead I am mad at people who demonize games for having far less. How come FOX News haven't used this as ammo in their never-ending Sisyphean quest to kill videogames?

Well, I got it mixed up more than a bit. There is an interactive quicktime event sex scene, but the main character isn't an animated corpse with the body temperature of an ice sculpture at the time.
The second sex scene is interactive in the sense that they included game mechanics to the event.

As for the demonizing of video games by idiots who have no idea what they're talking about? That's a generation and culture gap. People like those on Fox News pander to their steadily dwindling demographic to a crazed degree.
As such, until those people are phased out by the passage of time and increase of culture that embraces video games as something no more harmful than any other form of entertainment, such stupidity will continue.

I have no doubt whatsoever that they would have been all over Fahrenheit at the time of its release if the game was more widely known. They certainly tried to do so with Mass Effect, after all.

I'm not sure whether it's Galaxy related or not, the GalaxyAccounts variable appears to just be the name for your account details and it gets set by a function called loginInit. Unfortunately it's pretty impossible to decipher the javascript as it is because there is no formatting what so ever...

I've tried opening the site in Firefox (as that seems to be where most people are having problems) and logged in and out, cleared cache while logged in (which did make the games in my library fail to open, as you would expect) but couldn't replicate your issues.

It almost looks like your cookies are being cleared after you access your account (so you get it, but then it doesn't recognise you're logged in) but I don't see how or why (or why it would affect multiple users if that were the case).
