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
- Fixed an issue, which sometimes caused the client to duplicate the news on game view

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.

BKGaming: Are game updates being pushed to the Galaxy servers? Unepic got updated today but when I start Galaxy it's not being updated to the new version, can we suspect some delay here or is this not being done yet?
We might have some delays during the alpha (as happened with Unepic), as we get all the systems in sync, but everything should be simultaneous from now on.

Unepic should be already updated.

I want to know how the client looks, I'm so curious. xD

Iam staying out of the alpha because I don't have the patience (or knowledge) to analyze logs.

I just have a question. Will the finished client include friends/friends chat? I think that's one of the main reasons so many prefer steam over all else. Actually I already asked but I don't think anyonebsaw it :P

How does the client handle bonus content?
Can you currently download the game and bonus content seperately or is it one big package?

See post above.


In the moment ONLY the core functionalities are being tested, nothing else.

Downloading the games isn't a core functionality?
Edit, the upcoming features list seems to state downloading standalone installers and bonus content. Which made me wonder whether is just one big package right now or whether the bonus content isn't included yet at all.

I don't see how that answers my question... I'm sure it's probably one of the "must-have" features and it's a given that it will be included. But it wasn't mentioned in the first post.

OK, to make it clearer:

this is not the final product and many changes will still be made.

So even if we would know, it wouldn't matter as it could/would change in a future release.

And just a few pages before, we have been asked not to speculate or similar.

And further:

Venom: Also remember that this is an alpha, witch means that this is an early release to test some core technologies, not the final product. This means some obvious functionalities are intentionally not included, but that does not mean they won't be included in the final product.
Chatting is not a core feature, it would be an add on, and again, here the stability of the core is being tested. ;)

You cannot yet download standalone installers, DLCs or bonus content but this will be added later.
