While I am grateful for GOG recently fixing the DISCOUNTED option so that it appeared again on the PRICE menu in my Wishlist, it kind of fails to be useful if not all items on my wishlist that are discounted, show up.

Mulaka is one such.

And yes, I did do a CTRL+F5 after I realized, and it made no difference.

I know Mulaka is discounted, because I got an email about it, then noticed its absence, when i do as I do every day, go straight to my Wishlist and check on DISCOUNTED. Then I looked at my full wishlist and found it there .... discounted.

Are GOG aware of this issue?

It's got nothing to do with your (or anybody else's) wishlist. It just doesn't appear when filtering by discounted, at all:
https://www.gog.com/games?price=discounted&sort=title&page=2

It happens sometimes, usually shortly after a new promo is launched. Makes me wonder whether it's actually not an automated process, and someone must actively mark a game as discounted even after assigning it a discount and reducing its price accordingly...

@muntdefems - I did wonder all that myself.

I'm reminded a few years ago when something in the sales/discount wasn't working right, gave a discount of 0% so you paid full price. I took a screenshot, posted it, like 5 minutes later one of the admins replied saying my screenshot was used for identifying/fixing the bug in that sale and was 'super effective' probably as proof for what was wrong and proposing a fix.

So.... If something is broken, sometimes screen-capping it and posting it helps more than just asking a question.

Although posting it in the sale specific thread is more useful than a new thread...

In fact,
1. GOG often have zero discount in their brand new promos
2. bug reporting is not effective, no matter where you report the bugs. GOG Support is also not enough.
3. GOG staff just can not fix those bugs in single one batch. They often fix some of the bugs, and left other bugs as is
4. Some bugs got fixed after hours or days, bug some bugs just live till the promo end

For example, the Weekly Sale started since April 23:
1. Not all games were listed initially
2. Later, newly added games in the promo all have zero discount
3. After several hours, GOG tried to fix the super buggy promo, but still failed to fix all of those bugs
4. After the 3rd fix, they finally make all the games have real discounts, but both countdown clocks are still totally wrong

GOG is very very unprofessional.

Moreso than they used to be... But what can you do?

Just that they will likely concentrate on sales bugs with higher gusto than other bugs on the site. I do miss how the site was a few years ago; With the exception of the onslaught of bots before GoG admitted they couldn't keep up.

And just to confuse things, and make it seem like there is indeed some manually set flag, that gets forgotten, I have just logged on, gone to my wishlist, selected DISCOUNTED, and 9 games are still listed even though they are no longer discounted ... along with others that are.

P.S. For those who may remember other postings here of mine, I have just cracked the 500 games in one year barrier, having bought 6 more yesterday. This is my first year with GOG (joined 1st May 2017), and don't expect to get anywhere near that number in future years, but hey never say never. So depending what you look at, I now have 501 or 502 games ... that includes lots of freebies and a bunch of demos. I thank you GOG, but my wallet doesn't. :)

LOL.

Lets make that 502/503 games, as Ironclad Tactics Deluxe Edition, came with a free game Spacechem, which is not listed anywhere, except under Serial Keys, but even there it just looks like a code for a second copy of Ironclad or something Deluxe related.

Thanks GOG! A great way to celebrate my anniversary with you. :)

(I secretly hope for more surprises when I download the other 5 games I bought yesterday.) :)

Has anyone else noticed that the Discounted filter doesn't seem to be working anymore? When I select it, it still shows a bunch of games in the wishlist with the full price that are not on sale.

Yes, I've started seeing the same with my wishlist.

The problem is that they placed games in a themed sale without giving them a discount.
Click for Adventure sale is still missing discounts

I've reported this in one of the sale announcement threads - no staff response
I created the above thread - forum users responded that the problem isn't new

Feel free to open a support ticket if you haven't already.

Any update on this? The Discounted filter is still broken.
Posted March 03, 2023
Yet another broken feature on GOG. Why am I not shocked. This is my shocked face. :-|
Posted March 03, 2023
Just checked:
63 games on the wishlist.
Without the "Discount" filter applied: all 63 games shown, thereof 16 discounted.
If I apply the "Discounted" filter, it shows only 28 games - and among those apparently only 13 are discounted.

Lol, just another GOG speciality...
