[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.

Johny.: Yes. And - it's working on friends page right now! ;)
Vaguely tried with some blues and seems like it's working so I can hustle in PM to get a remote job :o)

Nice updates! Haven't tried Galaxy yet, but with this update I think it might be time to give it a go.

If the rollback option is already implemented you should check www.gog.com/galaxy, it still says "Rollback (soon)".

It's nice to see the Galaxy client improve!
Posted August 25, 2015
Well the client is getting a bit more usefull at least. Will maybe try it in a year or two when it gets out of alpha testing phase.

Good to see the client improving! Nice one, GOG.

park_84: If the rollback option is already implemented you should check www.gog.com/galaxy, it still says "Rollback (soon)".
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.

Does Galaxy still download the uncompressed game files instead of the compressed installers that you get when downloading via browser? If it does: Fix it. There are still people with bandwidth caps out there and there is generally no good reason to let all of the Galaxy users download more data than they should. After all it puts unnecessary load on your servers, too. :>

Wait, Galaxy works on XP? This is news. Just last week, I visited the Galaxy page on XP and it said "requires 7 or higher".

I just updated the client and instead of getting the 80 MB patch for Invisible Inc released on August 18 it's downloading the full 1.1 GB of data all over again...

Ah! That smaller side bar! Cool!

Anyway to make it resizeable?

edit: and friends search for adding, neat.

Interesting how the search feature works with and without punctuation marks. I can search for real.geizterfahr and for realgeizterfahr. That's a big improvement over forum search *hint, hint*

tburger: Does this update breaks XP support?

Fallen_Zen: The client should still work on Windows XP.
Huh? On the Galaxy page it says: "GOG Galaxy Client requires Windows 7 or newer."

slow, steady improvement without breaking what works is a good plan... Keep it up!

Officially we don't support Windows XP due to many reasons (it only works on specific Windows XP configurations, different bugs on each configuration also the system as a whole isn't supported by Microsoft etc).
Nevertheless we do allow the GOG Galaxy to run on Windows XP but the experience may vary.
