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 ==

- 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.

Still, there is the problem of Cyrillic or eastern type font showing up on DLC's and executables in the Gog, just as on the files. You do know that for someone not well versed or even a little, that means you have no idea what the items in the lists are right?

I have pointed this out several times and especially the Witcher 3 is a bug fest when it comes to language on files, installations and guides and even which button to press. Perhaps you should start colour-coding OK button to always be green so we at least which button is "OK" in future?

This is a silly problem, but causing a lot of difficulties.

mike_cesara: Friday night update notification? Go out, do something useless..

Venom: I've updated the changelog above, yesterdays update was for our internal libraries to fix some bugs in game integrations, and add new features for game developers.

Those kinds of updates do not look interesting in the changelog, as they do not bring new features immediately in a visible way, but they add new functionalities for game developers that are currently working on new Galaxy powered titles.
Thank you Venom, I was curious what kept Galaxy team up on Friday night and checked the logs immediately after the update. It is good to know we are not alone, on the other hand however, it's a weekend! ; )

Lebostein: Galaxy is a crash master on Mac OS X. It crashes while closing and it crashes while waking up from Mac OS sleeping mode...

Venom: We're aware of the issue, and are investigating it. It will be fixed in the upcoming Galaxy updates.

Is there any kind of roll out plan right now when more dev's will have access to such new features like the ability to push out patches on there own, etc? Or is that still a ways off.

Yesterdays update brings new features to our SDK which every developer can take advantage of if they wish. There are also some bug fixes that will improve all games using Galaxy.

The system for pushing updates directly by developers is being rolled out continuously to more and more developers, so they will have all the necessary tools to bring new patches to GOG as soon as possible. Access to this system does not result in updates to Galaxy itself, it's all behind the scenes.

Still waiting for the Linux version... Not even an alpha version, not even an ETA and more than a year has passed. We know is not the top priority, but it shouldn't be the last thing to do. And the lack of information (for over a year) is frustating.

Now there's no reason why GOG versions can't get the latest updates, thanks Venom.

I do not think there will be a Linux version until Galaxy gets an official release. What is the point of release a half finished client to another platform? I think it is a better approach to finish this version of the client and then port it to Linux and other platforms.

As a dual boot Win/Linux user myself, I am fine with it.

Fuck the galaxy! (ха-ха).

I do rather play Witcher 3. But the silence there is even greater.

There is until it's been rolled out to all developers.

You're right, I guess there is 'that' reason, but I'm guessing after all active developers get their hands on they won't have much of an excuse anymore.

So to get overlay in Deponia, the developers just have to update the game with support for that through the SDK now?

So I seem to be missing the ability to look at or install my Stronghold Crusader 2 DLC in Galaxy. It's missing from the settings window. Any ideas?
