This is a thread about Galaxy and not offline installers. But your issue is one of the bin files setup_psychonauts_2.1.0.12-1.bin is damaged (probably a corrupt download). You have to redownload the file and replace the damaged file.

If you don't understand how bin files work or what you need to do, you can use GOG Galaxy to download which is easier for new users.

Fairfox: hhow do i get galaxee to show all mah previous lee installed gamies again?
i aint reinstallin' jack!

also! i guesses imma use teh friend list final lee, even if i wont be on much. hit me up if i ignored 'em before <3
Go to the GOG logo and click scan and import and click on your folder with your GOG games. I would also click on settings before you import and point Galaxy to where you want to default location for downloaded games to be if you want new downloads to be located in the same place as your old installations.

If it fails to find a game you have to do a manual import. Go to library -> click on game-> MORE -> manage installation -> import folder.

Hey,

we have released GOG Galaxy 1.2.38, available for those who have Beta updates enabled.

Other than bug fixes it brings reworked windows handling system. GOG Galaxy should be able to persist your size, location and fullscreen preferences of windows better than before.

We have performed extensive tests of this new system, but if there's any new bugs introduced please give us a heads up, as this code digs down deep into how communication with Chromium Embedded Framework on which GOG Galaxy client is based.

Well, Galaxy seems to have shitted the bed lately,
First I couldn't connect online with the client. I then made a clean uninstall/reinstall. Now the order for my games is all over the place, alphabetically-wise.

Hope it goes away soon.


EDIT: It seems to have a hard time importing some games. They are playable, but Galaxy has no idea what version they are.

Can you elaborate on that - or better - send a screenshot? :)

Good work.
Latest Galaxy beta build is 10 times faster and more responsive than before, especially when scrolling tons of games,. Browsing and loading local game details is super fast. Everything renders and draw noticeable faster.
Online content such as library and store is still relatively slow.

Sure, here you go. Maybe it was already like this before the update but I don't remember it looking like this, it's awful.
The blue bar at the top.

The blue bar at the top.
It looks like disabled Aero Glass. (blue bar instead of glass bar)

Are you sure you did not have the WinSat.exe Windows System Assessment Tool test running in the background at this moment?
Aero Glass is deactivated on Windows 7 during testing so the tool can properly assess the graphics card and CPU.
In Windows, WinSAT runs under the maintenance scheduler every week.

Running some older games can also temporarely deactivate Aero Glass.

Well, I've had Aero off for ages, but just don't remember the top bar in Galaxy looking like that. >_<
Doesn't fit with the rest of the program. Why would you use the default windows bar.
Posted March 05, 2018
Why does my library shuffle everytime I click the library button? Games pop in and pop out, move around. I have it set on purchase date but even the game I bought the last sometimes just pops somewhere down below. It's pretty annoying, happens both in galaxy and on the website. What's up with that?

Galaxy always had a default system titlebar. :)
We are aware of the problem. For people with beta updates now - for all users later - titlebar in Windows 7 with Aero disabled will look slightly different than before.

For transparency:

We did some changes and optimizations in window handling, and external library we're using doesn't support this combination well. We cannot revert this change now, but this issue is definitely on our roadmap to be tackled. :)
