On Windows 7 or later: C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\Logs
On Mac OS X: /Users/Shared/GOG.com/Galaxy/Logs

== FEATURE SUGGESTIONS ==

Please use: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy. For feature suggestions and votes on them please try do explain how Galaxy and its users will really benefit from it.

== IMPORT ALREADY INSTALLED GAMES TO GALAXY ==

1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the Galaxy logo button on top of the sidebar and select "scan and import folders" - it will find all compatible games within that folder and add them to the Client.

2. For remaining GOG game INSTALLATIONS
Find the game in the Library (click on the image of the game), then click the More button and select "Manage Installation" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.

For everyone who has a problem with missing api-ms-crt dlls in Client's versions post 1.1.5:
Please install one of those windows update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3118401
You may need to update Windows to meet the requirements for these:
For Windows 8.1 and for Windows Server 2012: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2919355
For Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/976932

You can also try reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables 2015 (x86) if you meet above requirements.
Available here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

If above instructions doesn't work for you, create a separate issue on mantis.gog.com and we'll try to help you individually.

Please note that this solution only helps with the missing api-ms-crt dlls.


========================================================================================


Answering this question: Why 1.1 doesn't work after updating to 1.2?

This is happening probably due to incompatible database from version 1.2, please delete this folder:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage
usually
C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\storage\

Then you'll have to use scan&import (menu under the top Galaxy logo) function to see your games back in Galaxy Client.

Xaujin: Hi, I have been using GOG for a good amount of time now, and so far I have loved it a lot. The in-app UI, the features, and the GUI are all clean and crisp. As you can imagine, I have seen no reason up to now to actually comment negatively upon the product till this moment. As of installing Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt, the application has consolidated the main game and the recent expansion there by, seemingly, treating it as a new "entity". When I click on the option "More" within the game Library Page, I am greeted with the normal options but when I click on "More > Configure", instead of the usual array of DLC's that I may willingly choose from I see Free DLC Program (16 DLC). I do understand that I am able to modify them In-Game, but having that small feature allowed me to check on the status of my DLC's without the need to boot up the game. Allowing for me to quickly reference what files were being allocated to my Game, you can see how that is a useful tool. Is this is a bug? If so I will make a report, if not I will make a feature request post.
Well with how DLCs are being handled by Galaxy, downloading them all separately takes ages... It just much faster to download them all at once and then choose ones you wish in-game. Of course, if they would change the way dlcs are being downloaded without that click one dlc, wait, click another, wait. Then this feature would be quite good, but right now it's just annoying and slow.

Let me tell you about my experience of TRYING TO UPDATE The Witcher 3 and why the GALAXY client almost made me uninstall/overwrite The Witcher 3 (which I still have to play).

My current installed version is 1.08.

Apparently the latest version is 1.11

There is NO incremental update from 1.08 to 1.11, instead I have to download 10GB of data. This, in itself, is ridiculous. A game executable that cannot update the game on launch. A manual user patch update 'system' unless one wants to install YET ANOTHER game client (Steam. UPlay. Origin ... aren't enough, obviously).

Not to mention how the DLC is/was incredibly cryptic, if you tried to download it manually. It was out of order and the DLC number did not match the file-specific numbers. Numbers! They are essential! How you made a game without making such async mistakes is a miracle (different 'team", I know).

So, I could download 4GB chunks via the web-browser ... but that would mean, no throttling - all my bandwidth would be consumed by the 30+ minute download ... and a browser cannot resume, if there's a hickup. An external Download-Manager does not work via drag & drop, since the GOG website wants authentification.

The OLD GOG-Downloader doesn't work for some reason. MIME-type gogdownloader:// not recognized on Windows 10 by Opera, IE, Firefox 40 has no abiltiy to let me edit and declare the file extension, so it would work.

So ... GALAXY ... downloaded, installed ... pointed the directories to my existing folders ...
.... but the Galaxy BETA client did NOT recognize a perfectly fine, working and running Witcher 3 v1.08 installation.

Instead, the client wants to download the WHOLE game ... again. Instead just letting me download the patches, or instead - you know, 2015 ... - updating the game via the game launcher?

I almost overwrote my existing WItcher installation, which would have ruined it (something Ubisoft/UPlay likes to do. You see, you are in good company, GOGers).

Instead, I uninstalled Galaxy immediately and will not touch it, until it is a few years older (yes, Steam 'early years' burned me for life).

This was just a summery of my recent GOG Website experience. I am obviously not a believer in the idea that everything 'new' is automatically better. I would have gladly downloaded the patches via a FTP server. Call me (Good) Old fashioned.

I'll stick to 1.08. Good enough for me, if it still works. You kids enjoy the new world of EVERY APPLICATION WANTS TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND ON WINDOWS AND BE ONLINE ALL THE TIME future.

I'm kind of confused by this because there were incremental updates. It went from 1.082 to 1.083 to 1.084 to 1.10 to 1.11. Galaxy can update you to them , roll you back to them, and offers you the ability to download the stand alone patch files if you wish to install that way.

Also, GOG Downloader still works fine for me in Windows 7 with SRWare Iron, Chrome, and Firefox Dev Edition. In fact, I use AdaliaFundamentals in Firefox so that my accounts page automatically uses the downloader links instead of browser downloads, that way I don't have to go to those wretched new GOG Downloader pages that are all sorts of fucked up.

[edit] okay, so I guess although each patch was available to download and you could roll back just fine (I haven't upgraded to 1.11, I'm at 1.10) I just checked on my backups and it looks like each patch wasn't incremental but cumulative, so it was 1.01 to 1.083, 1.01 to 1.084, 1.01 to 1.10, and now finally 1.10 to 1.11. It wouldn't have been incremental if you would have been updating yourself.

Also, realize that Galaxy patches just like Steam does. It doesn't download and install compressed patch files, but rather downloads and replaces each file that has changed. As you can imagine, this makes for much larger download sizes. Oddly enough though, I've seen it where Galaxy reports many gigs needed to be downloaded to update a game, but at the same time only a small amount is actually downloaded. I don't honestly know what that is about, maybe it's just patching the changed bytes in large files or something, not sure.

Anyway, Galaxy isn't going to be really that worse of an option for you in the case of the Witcher 3 than manually patching up each version, since you can see that the patches are cumulative from 1.01 on, making the 1.08x patches being about 3 gigs each then over 8 gigs for 1.10 and another .5 gb for 1.11 which doesn't included the DLC (all one package now, friend, so you don't have to worry about disorganization, even though in my Galaxy install everything was ordered well enough) which you'll have to update every new patch as well. Honestly, 10 gigs for patching through Galaxy is super decent.

Maybe you fail to recognize that you are dealing with a massive game, one that is over 30 gigs installed.

[edit 2] Firefox 42 (don't have 40 anymore) lets you set your handler for gogdownloader. Go to about:preferences#applications or open Preferences and click on Applications. I know for sure that the downloader still worked though in 40, just don't remember if accessing it was different in preferences.

Hi everyone,
I live with other people and they complain about internet speed being very slow.. We did many tests and it turns out that when Gog Galaxy Client is open, internet performance drops drastically, using a speedtest site ping drops from 23 to above 200, and download speed goes from 7mbps to 1.5mbps.

We are sure that it is Gog Galaxy because when I close it performance goes back to the previous values.

Is there a way to limit bandiwth or avoid this huge dropping in internet performance using Gog Galaxy?

Thank you

Have you tried to add this to your list in Firefox ("Extras / Einstellungen / Anwendungen")? Maybe uninstalling and reinstalling GOGdownloader would help. It works fine on Win7 on newest FF version - don't know about Win10 though.

Does this happen only when you are downloading something using Galaxy, or does having Galaxy Client being open and idling also cause such slowdowns?

I assume it is the first scenario since you're asking about bandwidth limiting... For now there is no download speed capping in the Client (but it is coming), however what I'd recommend trying, at least for now, is to open Galaxy Client settings and try decreasing "Number of download threads" to 1 or 2 and seeing if it makes any difference upon restart.

In case the issue is happening even without any download activity in the Client, please post version of Galaxy Client you are using, OS version and number of games installed in your Client.

Steam was "in beta" for 3 years. Galaxy beta is only 5 (give or take) months old.

Just when Gog Galaxy is downloading something, I have tried to reduce the number of threads to 1 but it still create the issue. If the client is idle everything is working fine.

I am with Windows 10, Gog Galaxy 1.1.5 and Just The Witcher 3 installed

... thanks, guys, for your attempts to help me out. Though, I wasn't really looking for community help/solutions. Still, nice to see people genuinely care! :)

My post was rather meant as a snapshot, to describe a random 'user-experience' with the Galaxy client and the Witcher 3 update, including the (maybe irrational) reasoning, to describe why I did what and what I tried.

It was meant to show the Galaxy client devs how a user experience CAN look like.

_______


Aside from that, I am still baffled why they erased the ability to manually update from 1.08, instead force now everyone to update from 1.01 again.

_______

Speaking of 'huge' games and incremental updates. I could point to dozens of 'huge' (30+ GB) games on Steam, which know how to 'inject' patches into huge files. A good example is Creative Assembly and their latest "Total War" games (Rome II and Attila).

As an old UNIX guy, I used to patch software myself. It's not THAT complicated. It shouldn't be. Making users download huge chunks again, is either laziness on the dev side, or 'play it extra-safe' on the publisher side.

_______

And a Galaxy Client which cannot 'detect' (checksum) an installed game version, but wants to re-download the whole thing again... poor scripting?

Sad Panda.

I've had some games installed before GOG Galaxy installation. Today I did import Legend Of Grimrock folder to GOG Galaxy. It has done some verification, downloaded again the whole game then... suddenly restarted my OS without any notification :o Luckily I had nothing else opened/running in background. Please, fix the Galaxy client.

Oh, and please excuse me if such issue has been already posted in this topic. I usually read the whole threads before I ask myself but this topic is too huge now ;)

PL
Po imporcie LoG w Galaxy, klient zweryfikował pliki, zaciągnął znów instalkę ale chyba nic nie zdążył zainstalować bo od razu nastąpił restart Windowsa. To niezbyt bezpieczne jeśli się ma w tle otwarte programy z niezapisaną zawartością. Na szczęście ja nie miałem ale pasowałoby to naprawić w kliencie. Nie mogę zrozumieć po co on w ogóle restart robił...?

Very strange.

As a habit I don't automatically install anything to the C:\Program Files (x86) in Win8 64 any more after having to get stuff that should just normally work, work correctly. Is that like inherently stupid on behalf of Microsoft or what?

Anywho, I originally had Galaxy Beta installed to my C:\GOG Games folder, and using Run as Administrator it's been running fine for months until today when it wouldn't run at all until I uninstalled it and re-installed it to the C:\Program Files (x86) folder, now it runs fine.

Regarding Client supposedly redownloading entire game on import - this is actually a UI error in the Client. What really happens is that Client compares contents of a selected folder on your hard drive with the version in the Galaxy content system and only downloads differences, while incorrectly displaying size of the entire game as the download size. Yes, these differences do exist, especially for older installers, but it should never be the case that the entire game would be redownloaded.

As for the restart during Grimrock installation - I believe this is not caused by Galaxy Client but the game installation scripts executed by the Galaxy (they are also included with standalone installers). Long story short, most likely the script include specific Microsoft installer of C++ / Visual Studio redistributables required by the game and said installer required full Windows restart. I'm not sure why you haven't received any message box for the restart (it might be the case of running redist installer with some specific parameters) so I will forward this to our Product team to take a look. Out of curiosity, which Windows version are you on?

In the last couple weeks, Galaxy has completely ceased to function for me.

I click on it, it seems to start, but never actually opens up.

I've tried reinstalling, and the condition is still the same,.

Trying to install without "run as administrator" results in "CreateProcess failed: Code 740. The Requested operation requires elevation"

Running setup (After uninstall) as Administrator just results in the software installing, an icon put on my desktop, and absolutely noting happening after attempting to launch, nor is there any evidence the program is hung up (can't be found in Task Manager)

I'm running Windows 10 64-bit on a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. The Galaxy software had functioned fine throughout August, September and early October, after the Windows 10 upgrade.
