[EDIT: September 9th, 2pm GMT]

Update 1.1 to the GOG Galaxy beta is now available for everyone! Enjoy the new features and remember to submit your feedback in the dedicated GOG Galaxy Beta forum thread and report any bugs at mantis.gog.com.


Rollback, friend search, pausing downloads, and more in the biggest update yet.

Have you tried the GOG Galaxy beta yet? This is an awesome chance to jump on board. Our DRM-free online gaming platform has already been tested by so many of you we can barely count, and today we're ready to roll out the first major patch with new features and plenty of quality of life optimizations.

Update 1.1 to the GOG Galaxy beta will bring the anticipated Rollback feature, allowing you to restore your game to prior states with just a single click. Game updates are now not only optional, but also reversible.

The weeks following our GOG Galaxy-powered release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt were a chance for the team to collect feedback and to work on perfecting the Client while addressing many of your top feature requests. The newest 1.1 update includes much-requested improvements to the friend system (making it easier to find and invite friends), pausing & resuming downloads, extended pre-installation options with more ways to configure your games, and an improved app UI and navigation. The entire client will now be more resource-friendly while also becoming faster.

The 1.1 update is available today for everyone enrolled to receive preview updates through GOG Galaxy, but it will also be rolling out very soon to the entire userbase. Those of you eager to test out the announced improvements today, can simply navigate to your GOG Galaxy settings screen and select the option to “Receive preview updates”.

To download the client and read about what’s new and improved in update 1.1, visit [url=http://www.gog.com/galaxy]www.gog.com/galaxy[/url]. Make sure to subscribe to the preview updates to try them out yourself, and as always, you can submit your problems and find new solutions on the dedicated GOG Galaxy Beta forum thread.

Fallen_Zen: We've optimised our storage a bit and should take less space but it's still located on the main drive.
This solution is of course not final, more improvements will be made in future updates.
Please tell me the plan is to give us an option to relocate all caching in the end, I will not use Galaxy until it stops wasting writes on my SSD.

astropup: No, you are not the only one. That's exactly my case too.

mrkgnao: Good. So two are related to rejecting a "friend" whose account got cancelled.

avatar
Starmaker: To clarify: it's "I don't even recall" as in "my memory is faulty", not an "I definitely haven't". I'm not exactly swamped with friend requests, so I like to think I would have remembered declining anyone, but, what with persistent chat spam at the time, a random request from a likely spammer might have slipped my mind.

mrkgnao: In my case, it was danielx99 who was offering cheap GOG games via the chat around May 22. Quite a few of us got his chats.
I don't remember the usernames. But it was someone who looked suspicious.

I have the same problem on the website (no matter the OS) and on Galaxy client under Windows 7.

If I may ask, when can we expect to be able to turn off things like achievements and playtime tracking? It was never listed as "(soon)" when the beta launched like other features that weren't done at the time were, but it still isn't available yet.

You already can choose where the games are cached while downloading for quite some time, its called "Download games to" in preferences. The games will be loaded there, getting installed to the folder you specified and then removed from this directory.

Same here.

Destro: As the rollback is part of the Update 1.1, it is available for now to users who enrolled to receive preview updates (which is not the default) so we've decided to keep the "soon" there until 1.1 is available for everyone, preview or not.
I see an option in the privacy settings on the site to allow other users to "search for me by username or email". What does that mean practically? Does it only affect friend invites or does it toggle our visibility in normal forum searches as well?

"galaxy update" so translated to common english that means new and more hacked accounts?

MIK0: If GOG was about customers satisfaction, it would've been a completly different store now. One, for instance, that listen to its customers and try to improve things following feedbacks. One that doesn't forcefully push half-baked updates and force users to live with them for months. Just saying.
avatar
bvguthrie: If GOG were about satisfying the whims of every customer, it would be a completely non-functional store. Valve makes changes to its system and tells you to like them. GOG makes an effort to give options and allow for more user freedom. Sometimes they screw up, but I don't understand why the one company trying to cater to people like you gets so much criticism for doing it slower than you would like, or only providing 3 options instead of 100.
Because it's not true. That's why.
GOG is a barely functional store and it gotten worse with time.
GOG makes the change and tell you to like it. That's when they actually remember to warn you, otherwise the changes are silent and customers have to find that out and make it public. Customers had to always be wary because they cannot trust that GOG would do thing for their interest.
And when they screw up, and they do it a lot, they tell you that it's a great news, because pr is the only things GOG actually invest into.

When GOG do good, I'm the first to say it. Unfortunately it happens rarely.
But I won't remain silent when they don't do good but say they did.

EndreWhiteMane: Only issue I have with the update is shown in the attached.
Happens every time I open Galaxy now. Doesn't seem to hurt anything but it's very annoying.
Vista 32bit.
Would be great if you could submit your Client logs to our mantis bug tracker so that we can investigate this.

For the details on where are logs stored and how to access the bug tracker please check the very top sticky post in the Galaxy Client forum topic (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_galaxy_beta_2). Thanks!

Updated my Galaxy. Nice.
Great features, especially Rollback. Good job, GOG!

mario64: Thanks very much for the update. Not sure if this has already been requested but support for High DPI needs to be added. On a 3200x1800 monitor using 200% scaling the text is almost too small to read. Steam has supported this for some time now
avatar
Destro: HiDPI support is part of preview Update 1.1, including hi-res contents and UI. There is one known issue related to size of the Client windows when launching the Client (just resize the window a little to fix it), but contents should scale properly with display DPI (tested on both Mac OS X and Windows)
Great thank you! I received a client update earlier today and thought it was 1.1 but it wasn't. Now I have 1.1 and the GUI is readable. YAY!!!

It is related only to friends and chat functionalities, hence grouped under "Friends & chat" section :). It does not affect forum searches in any way.

Alright, thanks for clarifying. :)
