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

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.

I appreciate the suggestions, however Teen Agent works outside of Galaxy. It does no work only when using it through Galaxy. I have already uninstalled, reinstalled, and repaired via Galaxy, none of which worked. Installing the game using the stand alone installer and the game works fine. That pretty much shows the issue is directly related to Galaxy?

UAC, firewalls, DEP, Antivirus etc while they CAN be, really should not be turned off. I'm not comfortable doing that. I realise this is an Alpha test, but that's just a bit too far for me personally.

I'm not at my GOG Computer for a few days (on New Year Holiday, with my old faithful Lappy) So I'll have to look into Launching the games from the Galaxy Installed location when I get back. if I can remember the commands to do so. Bit rusty with those. Too spoiled just firing up from GOGs shortcuts!

I've just installed 'TeenAgent' via Galaxy & haven't had it installed previously via the standalone installer. I can report that it launched just fine on my Win 8.1 system, upon install and launching DOS box is the first thing popping up then around half a second later the game intro screens appear. I'll install it later on on my W7 x64 machine and see if I get any problems.. So essentially the game "appears" to be fine via the Galaxy Alpha =)

This is without disabling any account security, Anti-Virus, etc..

Edit: Works on my W7 x64 setup too, downloaded and launched with no problems. Again, all security settings / AV left default.

So sadly it sounds as if it's something system related in your case.

Does anyone know what backdoor.win32.shark.ek42@9307665883 is?
I was installing AVP 2000 and my antivirus blocked it.

I figured. :P
But it seems to be something the launcher needs to install the game. :P

That's called a false positive. That means that your Antivirus thinks it is something bad when in fact it isn't.

The file in question was digitally signed by Microsoft so it's highly unlikely that it is some kind of Malware. And all 56 Antivirus programs that VirusTotal checked this file with agree it's harmless.

Try to update the Antivirus. If that doesn't fix the false positive you should tell the makers of you Antivirus program about this false positive. Or switch to a better Antivirus.

Hi everyone,

when I try to look at my library of games in gog Galaxy, there's a big part of games missing that show up perfectly when logging in on the main gog.com website. Is there a mistake on my part, or is this a bug others also experienced?

It's just something mentioned in the very first bluepost.

Quite a few games are as of yet unsupported by Galaxy. You'll have to be patient. :)

Thanks guys, I kinda managed to miss that this was already mentioned. :)

Would you be so kind as to send me the alpha invite please?
I'm planning to completely replace Steam with GOG and I really can't wait to see how the Galaxy Client looks like...

BTW: will there be any possibility to see what games my friends are currently playing?
Will Galaxy have achievement system?

They said it's normally planed; but it's not in the current alpha.
Posted January 06, 2015
Thanks! I'm already registered, but haven't received anything so far :-(
I was just hoping that someone who got an alpha could invite me or something...

The codes are sent out in batches. No idea when the next batch will be sent out, but it should be soon-ish.
