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.

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.

Question for GOG/Galaxy developers: Where is your preferred location for making Galaxy client/service suggestions, requests for features/enhancements and other considerations? I've got a growing list of ideas in my mind's eye that I'd like to share in the most useful place when the time is opportune. I'm just keeping a local text file with ideas for now but once there is an officially preferred place to post such suggestions I'll share my ideas there. That also avoids inadvertently leaking details of the current client publicly against the alpha terms.

I guess you can freely post your suggestions here, features or enhancements can go to Mantis or here as well if there are a lot of them.
Regarding suggestions , would the gog galaxy client have its own set off discussion forums than the current outdated one which has poor forum tools.

for example steam has the old user forums and the brand new client integrated forums, i find the client integrated forums very useful to specially communicating with developers.

omega64: Lego harry potter 1-4 just refuses to install in the Client. :l

Took 4 tries for 4 years. OK.
Just installed Alone in the Dark. The game seems to run fine from the installer but the installation didn't create any shortcut and any files at the start menu. I've got a message at the end of the installation saying "couldn't create X64 key...". Sorry for the lack of any other detail but I accintentally pressed the Enter key and missed the message.
Also there is no option for installing Alone in the Dark 2+3 yet. Only Jack in the Dark.
Only games I installed after Galaxy show up. Do I seriously need to reinstall everything?

You could try moving them to the designated Galaxy folders. If something is missing Galaxy will download those files.

There will be an option to import previously installed games.

As long as you point Galaxy to where your GOG games are installed, if you click install via library within Galaxy it will only grab a small patch and then work fine. So a full re-install isn't needed no. There are some exceptions to this were Galaxy wants to install the games with different folder name and will grab the entire game again, see mantis for games that have reported to do this. You can correct this manually by changing the folder names.

paladin181: Reported in Mantis:
Bastion won't play when installed with Galaxy. Plays fine on manual installation.
Not sure what the process is to support this ticket. I have had the same problem.
Do I just add a notice? I understand I shouldn't just add a new ticket.

You can add a note to my ticket if you like, or you can just let it sit. Once it is reported, they will at least look into it.

Yeah, just added a notice. No extra info since I'm running the same Windows version and Galaxy version that you are, but I presume every little bit helps.
When can we expect a new build with new features? it's been a while.

lefantome89: When can we expect a new build with new features? it's been a while.
We're working on a new release with a lot of new features and bug fixes but we don't have a release date set yet.
Not this week that's for sure.
