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

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.

More games showed up in Galaxy library, including The Witcher, very first Fallout as well as Moto Racer.

- Moto Racer along with updating my existing installation /*deleted*/ replaced bestscor.dat, which contains exactly what file name says.
- Treasure Adventure Game opens in background for some reason.

What is this ?

If this is what I think it is..PLZ..optional only...

- TRULY hates game clients/platforms etc..
(they add trouble squared..)

Btw..if it's a game what will it look like ? (link..)

(and yes..I didn't read 26 pages..)
Posted January 23, 2015
You didn't need to read 28 pages, the initial post would've been enough.
Anways, this is an OPTIONAL client. You can still download all your games from your library via the website just like you now do.
And no, it's not a game.

Well I was happy when I saw SWAT 3 got added to Galaxy but when I ran it my mouse no longer appears on the main menu so I can't select any missions to play.
Anyone else get this issue?
Currently trying to uninstall/reinstall it

Edit: Found the issue, just had to redo the shortcut commands

Thundaman: AVG pointed me here...
http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/virus-and-malware-information/info/droppergeneric/?name=Dropper.Generic9.ZHR&utm_source=TDPU&utm_medium=RS&PRTYPE=IS

and yes it did it with the previous manual download, but I can "ignore" it installing this version
What? Galaxy a trojan? How dare AVG even claim that! Drop AVG and get something different yup. AVG doesn't even deserve a mention after calling Galaxy a trojan and Steam not.

Hello, I tried following the link for the Galaxy Alpha but it redirects me to the GoG homepage asking me to log in. After I log in, I just get forwarded to the home page, no indication about Galaxy. What gives?

I now dual boot with Windows 10 tech preview and Windows 7.

Galaxy Client does not open under Windows 10. Error says something about all components required to run not present, pleae reinstall.

I may try this week to install Galaxy Client on the new partition and see how it goes.

You're running an Alpha on a BETA and you're surprised it doesn't work? Might want to wait for one or the other to reach final stage before we start saying "it doesn't work"

One might add that the Galaxy Client might rely on either the c++ runtime or the .net runtime. So this might be the exact reason why you can't use it: dependencies are not installed.
Running the installer on Windows 10 and then verifying if it works or not would be a wiser approach in this situation.

I am not complaining not surprised. I am not saying it doesn't work. I am reporting information. That's what you do when you are using a beta release.

Attempting to launch Clive Barker's Undying from the client just shows a generic Windows form message box with the text

Critical Error
General protection fault!
History:

Seems to be a general problem with the game, as the same thing happens if I try to launch it in any other way than shortcuts created on the desktop and in the start menu. It's a bit weird, since if I try to create my own short cut directly of the executable it doesn't work, even though I see no difference between them, other than the icon.

Installing Galaxy while booted into Windows 10 - everything works fine so far. Install, launch, tabs and pages are fine. I am installing first game.

The problem must be on your end, Undying works fine here. Post to Mantis and attach your logs, then maybe support can help you.

Oh, wait, I just realized Undying is using nGlide. There is a known problem with nGlide that from a certain version on the config options were changed. If you have more than one game with nGlide installed and one is an older version and the other a newer one then they will blow up in your face since they use the wrong configuration. Sadly the configuration is stored in the registry, so all versions of nGlide will always share their configs.

The solution is to get the latest nGlide, install it globally on your system and configure it, then delete all the nGlide dlls from the directory of all games that use it (that would be glide.dll, glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll). Then the games should always use your globally installed one and the latest version should be compatible with all games.

Keep in mind though that when you repair a game in Galaxy these files will most likely be restored!
