Personally I would love that ! ;)

Having Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Symphonia on GoG would be great !

That happened to me a few times too. Don't know why.
The way I fixed it is just by selecting the "Verify Game Files" or whatever it is in the dropdown menu.

Hope it helps :)

Thank you!, most helpful :-)

You misunderstood my post. I was not being hostile. I was simply expressing how I felt about there being no 'proper' linux support, when they could actually do it - but they aren't - so it seems, for quite a long time now.

Just because I express how I feel, doesn't mean I have to be hostile to do it. I understand how ridiculous it would be to be hostile. But I can still express my feelings on the matter, regardless of whether people don't think I should.

I questioned the value of DRM Free for me, my personal aspect of it. Not generalized in anyway - I can do that, regardless of what the world may think of it.

There was nothing 'childish' about my post. Not even the least bit. I have every right to express 'how I feel' without throwing a fit - which I didn't do. So I think we're good there.
The download functionality isn't what I'm referring to. I am very easily able to download without it. What I'm concerned with is the fact that when I pay for something I can't install it properly, without building it myself from the tarball. If I paid for it, it should have an easy way to install it. If I didn't pay for it, then I could see it making sense for it to be considered 'okay' that I can't, and drop it.

*Building* it yourself from the tarball? That would imply source availability (which would be extremely cool 8-) ).
I think you are in fact referring to *extracting* the tarball as opposed to building it? Or am I mistaken here?
What game are you referring to? Lots of games here have .deb-packages rather than .tgz

btw, Tarball archives would be really fitting for a DrWho game: "Let's .sqz the tarball into the Tardis and extract ourself from this utterly dreary place" ;-)

That was an interesting way of putting it.

I may not be right about the proper wording, but I do know that on Arch Linux which I am using, I'd have to build that tarball and make the directory for it, and basically build the whole thing myself in it. Because this isn't a debian based system and with Arch you add only what you need, so you build your entire system yourself. As much work that is involved, and I've been able to get this far, I have no doubt I can actually do it.

However, I shouldn't have to is my point - because I bought these games from here, they should be installed properly no matter the 'base' distro I have. Whether it be, Debian-based, Arch-based, or Fedora-based. Pacman is how we install things on Arch, and we have to build a lot of things from source, I don't think there is much at all that isn't that way here. That is what I was referring to.

If that cannot be done with the tarball, and as I stated I don't run a debian-based system - then how would I go about doing this on Arch, without a software that detected what I had and installed it for me? I wouldn't easily do it.

There is a very good practical reason for having this software for Linux and have it work on more than just Ubuntu and Debian based systems only. Yet they aren't doing it. That was my point, and I was expressing how I felt about it - without being hateful or intentionally disrespectful.

As for the games, I currently own from GOG the following: Pillars of Eternity, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Shadowrun Dragonfall -Director's Cut- and Shadowrun Returns. Currently I am able to play Arcanum via Wine on here, because it has no Linux version - that's fine.

I can play Pillars of Eternity on here, by extracting the tarball and running it. But I cannot at all play Shadowrun Dragonfall or Shadowrun Returns - they flat out don't work and I'm not really sure why. In order to get my hardware to work properly (because of things out of my reach right now) I actually have to use Arch, it's the only distro that can solve the screentearing I get - it reduces it to almost none here, while other distros flat out don't do anything, no matter what I do. I spent a year trying to solve the issues, Arch was as close to solving it as I could get and that's because they only allow clean code.

Things would be so much easier if GOG would get the GOG Galaxy software working in Linux and have it detect what I have and provide what I need to make it work.

thx @gog for finally making the client usable! now it takes less than a minute to start :-)

Not sure whether this has been answered already, but will the same achievements from Steam be available for Gog?

italian language will be added?

If you need italian translators I can help

When you guys bring multiplayer feature to galaxy which would support most of games from your game catalog?! Until this feature is not in galaxy I would not use it, because no point in that.

Sometimes i get Galaxy Updater Error with the following content (see attachment):
"Instruction on address 0x<something> tried to access memory on address "0x<something>". Memory cannot be "read".".

Depends if the dev makes the same ones available.

It is up to each developer to update their game in order to use Galaxy for multiplayer.
And using the same ones is rather more likely than setting new triggers for GOG-only achievements.
