== 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.

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.

== KNOWN ISSUES ==
- throttling max download speed is not yet possible
- notifications related to incoming chat messages and friend requests does not always disappear instantly when consumed and may require reloading Store page
- games imported from existing installations will auto-update once, even if updating is disabled
- Moving Galaxy from /Applications on Mac OS X will stop the app from working
- Galaxy cannot be launched by other users on the same computer

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.

Blackdrazon: By "Library," do you mean the "Library" link on the main window (which should show every game you own, same as clicking Account -> Library on the GOG website) or do you mean the menu on the left? The menu on the left needs you to add the games to it using the + button followed by Scan and Import Folders, or other means if that doesn't work.
Trying to scan and import them...still having problems. Will report back!

Nicole28: [...] clicking on the search button does not work.
Is the Galaxy team aware of this bug? For some reason search is non-reactive when viewing a forum, even though it works fine inside any thread.

Searching also opens the results in a browser, even though the URL uses the "embed.gog" subdomain.

Good luck! If that doesn't work, try this:

Go to the game in the Library (by which I mean hit the link to "Library" in the window on the right, then find the game you're looking for). Click it, then click "More -> Manage -> Import Folder." Then locate the game on your HD.

If that doesn't work, we'll probably need more information. Maybe some screenshots?

yes, i am aware it is the beta, just that when we ask if there is a downloadable patch in the MOO forum, some one from GOG ask us to go download galaxy and do it from there, the impression is, galaxy will give you auto update..

so yeah one problem leads to the next bigger problem as you see, just to expose more of the deeper issues of the beta...

all these waste of time can be easily resolve with one warning at the MOO page:

New client built, no update patch, please re-download and reinstall

As simple as that.

If Time is money, then what has been done is a waste of $$$$ and TIME

Just face it: Galaxy is a pita and a major fuckup.
GOG does everything they can to lure people into using galaxy and all the people get is trouble. Like the Witcher 3 downloading gigabytes of data they already got ... AGAIN, this wasn't the first time as you might remember.
As I said: GOG does heavy advertisement to get people using galaxy and I see a road before us with much pain in the end. Why is GOG so eager to get you using the client ... go figure. ;)

What part of "beta version" don't you understand?
And for the record, I have ever experienced only a single major bug in Galaxy.

zozolek21: Always, when try install new version of Galaxy i get error about 0xc0000007b, any solution?
avatar
spektroskopista: This error most likely means that something in your system is corrupt or missing. Now I can't remember what it was in my case but likely candidates are Microsoft Visual C++ runtime and .Net runtime. As I do some coding I would think corrupt runtime for C++ was more likely culprit. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
That is right, it was a broken Visual C++ 2015 in my case. After installing Windows SP1 and installing VC++2015 again, everything was fine.

Dude, it's called beta for a reason.

No issues with Galaxy here. It installs my games, launches them and keeps them updated. That's pretty much what I need of it.
Posted April 04, 2016
For five days I have been trying to install games using Galaxy, but when I hit install all I get is that damn revolving circle.And this for three different games.

Having issues with Game and overlay and Free DLC program (16 DLC) in WItcher 3: The WIld Hunt. These two DLCS disappear each time I turn the client off and I have to download them again and again.

Happens for me too, but DLC are active in-game, and overlay works too. So it seems that DLC are not shown but are in fact installed and working. At least for me.
