[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.

Besides the rollback feature, it would be nice to have an option to "protect" specific files while updating.
This could be useful if somebody has replaced language files from a physical copy of game, but the desired language is not available on GOG. This would be nice with some games like Vampire: The Masquerade.
Also it could ease things with modding or custom resolutions for some games.

ashwald: 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?

Destro: It is related only to friends and chat functionalities, hence grouped under "Friends & chat" section :). It does not affect forum searches in any way.
The fonts now look quite nice. It really makes the client look a lot nicer and brings together the minimalist design elements.

I think it's pretty good that you added an option to disallow people searching you. I think you should remove the ability to query email addresses, though. I don't think it's a good idea for anyone to be able to query for an email address which otherwise hasn't been visible on gog.com, and that you should keep searching to screenname only, unless you implement or have implemented some kind of sanity check or restriction. Even then, I still think you should remove email searches. I get that unticking the searchability preference solves that problem, but it's too much.

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. Username is my identifier here, and that's the only thing that should be searchable by default. Allowing searching by email is potentially exposing my identity, which is really bad thing considering you have it ticked on by default.

Dea1993: when will be released a linux version??
please i want it, i accept also a alpha version of the client
I also want it, mostly because the website has such a short session duration since the last month or so.
Having to log again all the time is a bit tiresome... I won't accept alphas, they are for internal use only by definition. But Betas? Sure why not. Any progress report on the Linux version GOG?

The Back/Forward buttons are definitely improved, but I wish they were activated via my mouse's thumb buttons, just like with Steam and most other modern browsers/applications. Having to manually click them is a bit tedious.

Nonetheless, great update so far!

please please please, I have just one thing I want from the new version of GOG Galaxy:

let me choose where to install each single game (instead of having a "gog" folder where all the games go)

would it be possible? please? pretty please? :D

It's already in 1.1 - before you start an installation, you can
- see required disk space and version that is going to be installed
- change the installation path (with quick access to recent install paths)
- change language (if there are separate builds for them or language packs)
- disable auto updates if you wish so
- select if you want desktop shortcut or not

Actually that's not a short session duration - it's a bug with how the website handles leftover cookies from before the last major site upgrade, and you can fix it on your end so you aren't forced to keep logging in anymore. Just delete all your browser's cookies from gog.com and the next time you log in you'll stay logged in.

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.

Destro: 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!
Happens to me as well, reported as issue #3422 in Mantis.

Done. Thanks.
Please note that the report form does not yet allow selecting Client Version 1.1.0.

Destro: ...
Good work GOG, you might "complete" some of the wishes you can (on our way to a million completed votes!) -

http://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy#order=votes_total

I think the general consensus (in past discussion of this matter) was this was very unlikely to happen for technical reasons, but it would be cool to implement some sort of Hamachi/GameRanger/whatever component for whatever multiplayer possible, I assume pre-GameSpy games but don't really know. (Be a strong new reason to use the client for some people.)

park_84: If the rollback option is already implemented you should check www.gog.com/galaxy, it still says "Rollback (soon)".
avatar
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.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is how the roll back feature is displayed. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a drop down box with each patch with a submit button or something next to it. You could select your patch from the drop down list then hit submit to confirm. Having these as bullets that you can select seems like it could get really long as more patches roll out.

Otherwise well done, glad to finally see all this hard work. :)

;__; I am so happy. No more stupid "add me" threads...

Would love to try GOG Galaxy, but you guys would need to release a Linux version first!

Looks like this update will at least be a first pass on most of my wishlisted improvements for GOG Galaxy, looking forward to trying it when I get home from vacation.
