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

- 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

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.

Trying four randomly selected games. Beneath a Steel Sky, Carmageddon Max Pack, Dragonsphere, TeenAgent.

So far only Dragonsphere works properly. :(

BaSS and Carma do not apply GFX settings no matter what I choose. This included Windowed / Fullscreen (esential for me. If I can't play windowed, I can't play)

Teenagent crashes almost instantly. I see DOSBOX screen for about a second, then it just vanishes. Also did not intsall properly first time. After initial install Galaxy said "Game is not installed". Did a repair, Now at least it tried to launch, even if it fails.

Something on your end perhaps? Both Beneath a Steel Sky as well as TeenAgent works great for me, windowed and fullscreen.

Hello!
Tried Blood and Beneath a Steel Sky so far, both work without any problems :-)
Cannon Fodder works ok as well, only have to decrease the emulation speed to about 50% because it runs pretty fast.
Too bad you can't click on the games in your library and view the information like it's in the store but that will come later I guess.
Keep up the great work!
Greets,
Tony

lefantome89: When is the next build coming?
We are aiming at releasing the new version in mid-January.
So far Galaxy works flawlessly for me and surprisingly takes less resources when browsing community than Cyberfox I used to use. There is one thing however I would like to see in one of upcoming releases since I'm keeping Galaxy open most of time and closing from time to time by simply mistake, it wouldn't happen if was a systray function. Also I wouldn't complain if I could post directly from the client. Patience is the key I guess..

I did consider this, yes. However all four of these games worked perfectly on this same machine prior to Galaxy.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can check this before I submit it as a bug? I've tried all the usual things, but I may have missed something so any suggestions are welcome.

Does the user account you use to play have administrative privilege? If no, check where Galaxy installs the game. Where you installed the game previously might be a different place than where Galaxy defaults to installing games. And if it is a different directory your account's read/write permissions for that directory might affect older games ability to run. UAC might also prevent older games to run.

Games are installed to the same location. TeenAgent was already installed. Galaxy just checked it and did not download it again. I tried repair from Galaxy, I tried uninstalling and Re-installing. Still does not work at all.

EDIT:
I just installed TeenAgent outside Galaxy. Hit launch now, and it played no problem.
I can't try the others. Don't have the Installers for them right now. That HDD is not presently attached.

Like Geralt_of_Rivia already suggested, try with UAC settings as well as DEP which I have disabled by default. Nothing more comes to my mind at the moment. I'd check however if temporary disabling firewall, antivirus helps if none of the above will work if I were you, just in case..
Also go to folder where Galaxy installed your games and try running directly from there, we'll see if issue has something to do with corrupted installation or Galaxy client.

All the best and Happy New Year!
