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.

Johnathanamz: Can I get a answer to my question? Not the one you answered, but I replied to your answer.

Venom: This thread is for the Galaxy Client Alpha test, let's not change the subject.
Isn't GoG Galaxy supposed to be for video games multilayer as well? because that question is exactly for that.

Venom: The features included in the alpha release (in other words, what we want to test):
-- client installation
-- application basics (resource usage, responsiveness, stability, user interface)
-- the auto-update function
-- installing, updating and launching games* via the client (without a standalone installer)
* not all games are currently compatible with the client, so you’ll only see the compatible ones in the alpha version of the Galaxy Client.

RadonGOG: What the hell? TurnBasedStrats do have multiplayer! One of the most important multiplayer games in history, BattleForWesnoth, was praised for it´s multiplayer!
And yes, I agree to your point in general. But your post generalizes multiplayer games and that´s no good! Many games aren´t ping-sensetive

YES; Shooters do need dedicated servers as a standard. YES, RTS does need the option to use dedicated servers! Nope, not everything needs dedicated servers!

Johnathanamz: I know there are turn based strategy video games that have multiplayer.

It's why I said I'm talking about First Person Shooter (FPS) video games and well the 3 RPG video games I named.

Mass Effect 3, Tomb Raider (2013), and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
And I told you that this part isn´t something we need to discuss, as I do agree on it...

JMich: Do we also make suggestions in the bug tracker?
avatar
Venom: Sure, just keep in mind that for now we'll be mostly focused on any bug reports, but any (constructive;) feedback will not be ignored.
Ok, I bugged you a bit with the first impressions, I'll hopefully find the time to do a more thorough check later on (probably the weekend). But I do like what I see so far.

Yeah it looks like gog.come employees will not discuss about Dedicated Servers, etc for GoG Galaxy right now, maybe in the future I hope.

No worries, not that much to do with the downloader now, so moving on to QA the next thing ;)
Hi GOG!
Just tested Galaxy and I'm quite impressed.
Way more than I expected! :)

Just bought a game while downloading and playing others (they all worked fine) and it didn't show on my library,even after a reboot. Must be a minor deal.
And a lot of my games are not compatible, I mean, they just don't show in my library at all.

Thanks!

edit: also, there are several blank spaces between games. Lines with 4 games, lines with 1 game, etc! :P

The library view is temporary and not final. This will be changed of course at a later date :)

Really!!! :(

edit: thanks, bro. Sorry GOG, I was in a hurry. Don't ban me or something :P
edit2: Hi Venom! Can you please highlight the "no screenshots and etc" deal on your post, so that other users don't do what I accidentaly ended up doing? Thanks a lot.

Hi all - if anybody wants to test the galaxy client during the weekend - I got a key but eventually won't have time to do so during the weekend...
So I will be happy to send it to you now and you send me yours once you get it :)
(If at this time everybody who signs gets an invite and the later batches are still due - feel free to disregard this post. cheers!)

Don't worry. I think GOG won't ban you for this ;P There will be enough people posting screenshots in the next few days (it's the internet, after all)...
I've just received the code. Will try it out in few hours, I can't wait :>
