Hi, everyone!

The Galaxy team is hard at work to bring you the Client application that will let you manage your GOG.com games library more conveniently. We’d love for the initial release experience to be as smooth and streamlined as possible for everyone, but releasing an app of this scope is no easy feat.

But before we jump in and hand out the alpha Client, we’d like to set some ground rules.

1) The key word here is ‘alpha’, which means that this is not the final app and not all functionalities are present. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the core tech in the Client on a wider set of computer configurations than what we can locally test on, so only core features are included. Below I will post a detailed list of what is present and what we plan to add in future releases.

2) Alpha also means that you can encounter some unexpected issues. If you have a metered connection (a bandwidth cap or payments per bandwidth used) or you’re currently playing and can’t afford a loss of game time, this might not be for you. In other words, if you want to avoid potential problems with the alpha Client, simply wait for the final release.

3) Please, please, please refrain from posting screenshots, reviews or first impressions, both on our forums or elsewhere, as this is not the final product and many changes will still be made.

If you’ve read all of the above proceed to the signup page: http://www.gog.com/galaxy/alpha

We will be sending out invitations in batches (along with some more info on how to install the client and report bugs), so not everyone will receive one right away.

Hi everyone,

we've released the 0.7 version a couple of minutes ago, here's the changelog:

- Back/Forward navigation in the Store section
- Import Folder - it is now possible to import a game which is not compatible with the client, by clicking the game in the Library section and choosing ‘Import Folder’ from the More dropdown
- Startup page option - it is now possible to decide if the client should start on LIBRARY page, STORE page, or continue previous session
- Search option - you can press enter in the search field to continue searching in the Store
- Option to Show Game Folder added to MORE menu
- New sidebar sorting options (sort by name)
- External links will now be forwarded to the system browser
- Wishlist option added to the LIBRARY menu
- Community option in the STORE menu
- Forum Replies option in the ACCOUNT menu
- Option to keep saves, when uninstalling a game
- Windows: starting the client when another instance is already running should now open the running instance (rather than displaying error message)
- Improved ‘Last Played’ information, which should now show the time of the user stopped playing the game, rather than started playing the game
- Fixed uninstallation issues on Windows
- Fixed an issue which prevented using Paypal, when buying a game
- Fixed an issue which prevented from displaying Terms and Agreements when registering new account
- Fixed some issues when installing and uninstalling DLCs
- Bugfix: client will now not allow dragging elements onto its window
- Fixed memory leaks, causing to crash the application when downloading lots of games
- Fixed a bug which was causing the client to crash on exit

HOW TO IMPORT EXISTING GAMES INSTALLATIONS INTO GALAXY

1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the "+" 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, then click the More button and select "Manage" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.

cr1ogen: Will be GOG Galaxy Client for Linux? Thanks
It has been said many times and it's in the first post:

"The first stage of this test is Windows only. A separate OS X alpha will follow in the coming weeks. (Linux will follow - eventually, but it’s in the works!)"

As far as I know, there are no recent news about it, so we know there will be a linux client alpha and beta but we don't know when.

JMich: My guess would be Internet Download Manager.
Been a while since I've seen something like that. I'd say ten years or more in fact. I used to have a similar free program back in the day, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. It has a stupid name tho, Like "l33t Grabber Pr0" or "Downloadz Bud 9000" or "George Clooney".

Just found this one. Free and Open Sauce! Like all good things in the internet.
http://freedownloadmanager.org/
Name is a bit bland, tho.
it should be nice have the option of change the download transfer rate like the basic gog downloader. Anyway the new gog galaxy client feels so cool
Is it possible to set downloaded games in an alphabetical order instead of the last played game going to the top?
Little, wierd thing with the client: the Wasteland 2 icon (and, as far as I know, only this one) takes a fraction of second longer to load than the others and, right now (I'm on a public wi-fi) it does not load at all.

Now, I would not call this an issue, since it does not bother me (nor I don't know how could someone be bothered by such a trivial thing), but this looks like what, in medicine, can be called a "symptom". I don't really know if the concept of "symptom" can be applied to computer science, so I'll signal it anyway.
When the client is in the tray and I click on the client link in the application bar it says that another istance is already running.
Wouldn't be better if insted it will open the client already running?

That's weird. Are we talking the side-bar "icon"? Or is it the library shelf one? The former is supposed to be cached on your machine, so failing to load it would indicate a bug with the game's supporting files in Galaxy. I'd report it on mantis.

Yes, the side bar icon. And right now I'm noticing some inconsistency between the "My activity and news" section of various games, which may have something in common: on the same public wifi, sometimes they load (e.g. Pillars of Eternity, Sunless Sea, Hotline Miami, FTL), sometimes I keep seeing the "loading circle" (e.g. Shadowrun Returns, Divinity: Original Sin, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri).
Quite strange.

Thanks for confirming my suspect!
any plans to make the client recognize already installed GOG games?
This is so trivial that I don't think it's worth reporting as an issue on Mantis, but Sniper Elite: Berlin 1945 has the year in the titles as 1954 on the Mac Galaxy client. It's fine on Windows, though.

click on the + icon next to the search bar, select Scan and Import Folders, point it at where you keep your GOG games, and ta-da!

Yes, definitively we will be fixing that :)
