[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.

Where is rollback? I dont see. How does it work?

Question to staff:

Are there any plans to add customizable (and optional) public profiles, kind of like on Steam?
Posted August 25, 2015
Great update!

1.1 has addressed all my initial/obvious concerns. It's great to see the client evolving in such a positive direction.

Also, it's worth mentioning again that the visual design is excellent.

The back/forward buttons are handy. Perhaps you could make them work with the back/fwd mouse buttons too - like on a website?

Good job. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

If you have installed a game, then update to a newer version (that may or may not break a mod, fix a bug you were happy was there, or whatever), you can re-install the older version you had. If I remember correctly, you cannot roll back to a version you haven't had installed.

Rollback is a nice feature, and the friend improvements should make a world of difference (bye, Ricky). I'm looking forward to trying out the preview tonight.

You have to enable manual updates, then you will be able to choose which you want.

Wurzelkraft: 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. :>
It still does. Instead of downloading 30 MB of update for Pillars of Eternity, I have to download a whole 5,3GB installer. This is ridiculous.

I know that having people using your client is exciting, but it is easy to count.
Just give it a try after me.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.....

Good to hear , but when the heck are we going to get Achievements ?

The more important feature: is it useful as a download client yet? As in, will it (like the GOG Downloader and any sensible downloader) see and verify if the download already exists before just downloading it again? (Referring to when I use it to download the installers/extras.)

They've been there for a while :) It depends on whether the game had them built in or not :)
