Empress_Owl: This site could be so awesome, and it's so full of bugs that it's really pissing sometimes... [/never satisfied grumpy french owl]
I agree 100.34%
I love this site, this store, these games, and the lovely people here. It is frustrating to no end experiencing so many problems and glitches :'-( I don't expect all sorts of crazy features or anything, I just want it to function properly, as it is supposed to.

EndreWhiteMane: Try this:
Uninstall the downloader and then delete the downloader configuration file.

Mine is located in:
C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\GOG.com\

and is named:
GOG.com_Downloader.exe_Url_0lzitonqjch4gxvdftrofqz3vlcxje5b

You may have to search a bit to find this, hopefully you can.
Once this is done try re-installing/configuring the downloader.

This worked for me when I changed usernames.

Empress_Owl: Thank you very much for your help !...
Unfortunately, that didn't work either :-(
I uninstalled the downloader, then deleted the whole GOG.com file... I try to reinstall the downloader, it does (very quickly) but still doesn't launch...
Other than trying 'run as administrator' and other compatibility settings I have no other suggestions.
Question: Is it just the office that has trouble? More than one machine?
You haven't had the firewall settings changed have you?

Otherwise Galaxy lets you download the installers very much like doing it from your browser. That may be the only choice left.

Stilton: Phew, after a fairly extensive selecting of possible titles/checking of various reviews/investigating via YouTube and sussing any gut instinct which might be swilling around, I'm still none the wiser. There are a handful I like the look of, but do I actually want them? This has got to be the first sale where I'm actually behaving like a grownup. How depressing!

How's everyone else doing? Being circumspect or buying in truckloads?

LeoLR: Hello Stilton. I'm fine here.
I guess most people here are taking it easy on the sale. Except Crow who already unlocked Blackguards. :-)
I'm holding myself because I'm waiting for the Secret Santa assignment. I only rolled the dice on a mystery game so far.
Hey there, Leo.

Very sensible to hold back, I think. More adult, more mature. (Oh boy, do I hate myself...) :-)

Was the mystery a pleasant one, or something Hercule Poirot needs to investigate?

EndreWhiteMane: You related to the squirrel?

CarrionCrow: Hmm...

Ninja lady...ninja squirrel...ninja squirrel valkyrie lady?

Who are you, and what have you done with Stilton?

Stilton: Being sensible makes a person miserable....

The GOG team will be rubbing their hands and high-fiving, then. Nothing like hitting projected profits in the first ten minutes. :-)
Yes, it certainly does.

-laughs- Might take them a bit longer, but I'll be a lot more surprised if they don't.

argh. I am going to complain to the gog art team for making such a background picture for the sale ;-)

I tried the 'run as administrator' option...
I don't know about other machines, I'll try again at home in a couple hours, I'll tell you... I remember it was buggy too at home, but sometimes randomly worked...
I haven't changed the firewall settings... I even desactivated everything, to see if it worked... but no...
I have many problems on my office computer... I am forced to press F5 each time I delete/create a folder or a file, so the desktop and explorer display update... i don't know why... what did I change to have this problem.. ? the windows updates don't work anymore for months, because it's too busy to beg me to download windows 10 instead... >__< well.
I'll try the Galaxy option... but I think it's worrying to have only one option out of 3 that actually works !!...... :-(

Oh, hell, the depression's spreading - I'd better cheer up and buy something quick. :\

Back in a minute....
So much for the "fully optional" client, eh? :-\

AgentBirdnest: So much for the "fully optional" client, eh? :-\
In this case it's good to have an option. Her only other choice is to reload her OS to get the bugs out of it. :/
My downloader works fine, maybe you should all upgrade to Windows Vista? :-)
One item I suggest if it shows up during the sale - Unrest.

It's not a conventional RPG by any means, but I recommend it based on the abilities of Rutskarn, the writer of the game.
He is incredibly talented, so it should be great. Looking forward to it when I can focus enough to fully appreciate the story.

Yeah but it seems to be a specific problem, for example for me the downloader still works fine.

Btw. I glimpsed a game on your wishlist *speed ninja gifting before someone else notices*

Get ready for a hug.

God evening everyone .

Is this link still broken ?
Reloaded Kebab and Hot Wings...

sorry to hear about Owl's downloading problems.
The support should get onto that, really. Maybe writing to them again, and with capital letters and exclamation marks would get their attention ...
