Hi,

I'm looking to install my Gog games using Galaxy in a similar manner to Steam/Uplay/Origin etc. on my network drive. While the other providers install fine, GoG Galaxy downloads but then gives the error 'Installation Failed: Disk Access Problem'. The shared drive has full access from my gaming PC both in terms of user access but also PC access (PC name is explicitly added to the ACL list).

What can I do to solve this? As said, the other providers install and work fine... just not Galaxy.

Thanks,

Chris

Wait until someone called JMich answers, follow their instructions, mark it as the answer (not a troll post, just they are the !answerman!

Edit: they will likely answer in about 2-3 hours time.

Haha, I guess they didn' t.

I'm in the same situation, I got Galaxy to recognize the games, but it cannot update them. I do have write access on the share If I try to create files, but Galaxy seems to give me an error about UNC disconnection


EDIT:
So... the following solved the issue for me:
1. Open regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Policies -> System
3. On the right, you will see ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin, ConsentPromptBehaviorUser ... etc.
4. click on empty space, ADD DWORD(32bit), then name it "EnableLinkedConnections". Double click it and set the data to 1.
5. Reboot and you will see the mapped drives showing.

Now the games can update properly.
Steam seems to be working fine as well, now the only one giving issues is Origin.
