paladin181: I know Galaxy isn't supposed to look like this at 1080p. Care to explain, GOG?
EDIT: Why is Galaxy a game that has a NVidia profile? I had to turn off FXAA to fix this.
I'd check your settings in your Galaxy profile (listed as GOG (Good Old Games) (galaxyclient.exe) in my Nvidia control panel).
You are right, it's the FXAA.

I would like to see support for changing command lines for startup of games as well as add games not directly sold by GOG to be installed under the GOG Galaxy. Crysis is one that runs fine if I start it outside Galaxy but will crash every time under Galaxy so I would like to change the command line to start the game from Galaxy so I don't have to do it form a seperate place. It will run 64 bit or 32 bit if I start it myself but Galaxy seems to be unable to handle the same simple task as presetup. And reinstall and or repair fail to change anything.

Again. Galaxy Cloud Saves. this is killing me. It should ask about which saves are correct - stored or the ones on drive.

First sitaution:
I played Divinity OS. Had few saves on party but build were messed so i deleted them and started new game. Another time i just wanted to tried few setups - nothing wrong when you are starting and trying to fit your party to playstyle. When next time i started game games were merged - as a result i finished with having over 40 saves with different parties and setups and was unable to reduce that number, because deleted games came back every time i run game with gog galaxy on. When i finished game and started another one on Lonely Wolf/Honor mode i lost party and it luckilly resolved the problem (all saves were erased - though have no idea why losing party on Honor mode did delete normal mode saves O.o).

Second situation: Grim dawn.
Created a character did big part of a game and got to point where i did stuck because of few bad decisions (not enough gold, stat points in wrong places) deleted char. next day created new character and started playing achieved lvl 20 found some really good stuff and correct decisions everything was going great. Quit game. Next day srated game and... My saves were merged I had two 1st level female char (i always made male ones!) both with same names and without any stuff. Merged saves with same names probably messed something with save system and caused some conflict. 20 hours of gameplay went to trash.
It is not funny. I turned off gog cloud sync, in fear of messing anything up but as first situation was just inconvinience second one is really sick stuff. Yu have to do something with this.

Venom: snip
When you scan and import games it would be nice if there was a checkbox (unchecked by default) included on the pop up box to force verify/repair on all imported games. Why?

Because Galaxy doesn't verify/repair all games currently even if auto-updates are set to on because I guess Galaxy can now tell what version some games are on when imported . This means no start menu links are created, no registry entries, the game isn't listed under installed programs, DLC isn't shown as installed in Galaxy, redistributables I assume aren't installed, etc.

This is a pain because I have to currently manually go through and verify/repair any game Galaxy doesn't automatically do to fix the above stuff...

I go through my games on GOG Galaxy in alphabetical order, but it's all scattered!
I tried tagging alphabetical, but nothing happened. I even sorted them alphabetical order.

Ok I admit that I use most Steam but it's a bug that I have notice some days ago,every time I switch between Store and Library or another thing like Wishlist,my game library it's a chaos,I have only 11 games so It's easy to see the bug,and this happen for all type of order (Title,Tags Order...)...for example I have the trilogy of the Witcher and some Star Wars game and the ''alphabetical order'' is like ''The Witcher 2-Star War Dark Forces-Daikatana''...
I think it's a bug from the last update...
