There are two features i think GOG should implement.

1. Sort size of games in library

2. Have a agree/not agreeing ratio score next to the reviews.

I would like it if achievements worked properly.
I am playing Darksiders 3 right now and i got 1 achievements but the another one shortly after that did not unlock.

How is this still a thing after like 3 years?

My friend already played through the game and only has 2 unlocked...

Edit:
After patch 1.1 they work so this was actually a bug in the game itself.

Just a question.
Yesterday my client showed a prompt for an update, the changelog for the 1.2.49 says that it is a beta and I don't have the setting to participate on betas marked.

Is it the 1.2.49 actually a beta or it's a typo in the changelog?

It's not a BETA release according to the official changelog:

Ok I see, thanks.

Then the chagelog here should be edited to avoid confusions.

1.2.49 Beta (November 29, 2018)
- Minor fix to permissions of one of GOG Galaxy configuration files

Please add an option for the Galaxy client application to close/exit when the user clicks the standard red X button in the top right corner of the application's window, rather than having it minimize to the System Tray where the user then has to go manually right click on its icon and select Exit from the pop-up menu. This kind of non-standard (for Windows, at least) behavior is annoying at best, and at worst feels sneaky and underhanded, leaving me to wonder what else the developer is trying to get away with while hoping the user doesn't notice.

any chance that GOG Galaxy on Mac can support multiple user sessions? tbh this is ridicules and annoying.

I would also like this "function" as well. I don't think there is a conspiracy with trying to keep Galaxy open without the user's knowledge, but it is annoying and is not standard windows behavior in its current form.

Same here. Being able to have a setting where I can choose between the current behavior and Galaxy actually closing upon clicking the close button would be really appreciated. If this were combined with the Galaxy tray icon not only opening the window when you click the icon but also minimizing it again when the window is already open, this would be truly great.

The 1.2.49 update I got the other day takes several minutes to start, and it's installed on an SSD.

Achievements haven't worked for me at all recently. I played Tyranny at release, which was the first Galaxy game I played that supported achievements, and they worked then. Something changed between then and this year because I haven't gotten a single achievement on any game that supports them. I submitted a support ticket about it, and after the usual re-install replies, they said they can't help and would forward it to the Galaxy dev team. That was 4 months ago and I have not heard anything since.

Every goddamn time I open Steam it needs an update. Today I opened GOG which I had for about 2-3 years now and it had to be updated. I think it was the secon or third time that happened.

Thank you for your great product and keep the good Games coming!

Is there any reason why the Galaxy Client takes almost a minute to fully launch? Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue, I have a big library, 300+ games I thought that was the issue, but other people with smaller libraries have them too, the game is running on an SSD and it is painfully slow to start, I don't know if there is any program that is making the startup slower, like an updater or something, are you planning any fixes to accelerate the loading of the client? Thanks!

This is something I was investigating too... I don't have many games installed, but it was faster than my browser some time ago, and now it's slower than STEAM...

I see there are no options in settings to clear the cache, maybe could be the issue ?

In the appdata folder there are a lot of files for caching purposes, but I'm not sure which are required for the client and the ones used just for web browsing purposes.

If I recall correctly the Galaxy client doesn't have it's own web browser/HTML rendering code built in but instead uses the web browser service calls Windows makes available to all applications, which in turn uses a callable version of Internet Explorer which then appears to be embedded in the calling application. Windows 10 may use Edge instead of IE, I don't know. So if Galaxy is launching slowly on your computer you may want to use the search engine of your choice to look for "how to speed up IE on Windows 7" or "Edge launching slowly on Windows 10" or something similar. No idea whether that'll help or not but it's worth a shot.

You are mistaken. Galaxy uses CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) so it does have its own browser code.
