AmaDraque: I see. I didn't know this. Perhaps it's the reason why I can't import my other games. I just assumed I would be able to since the GOG client I have is named 1.9 Beta and it has the Scan and import features described here.
"Scan and Import" is for GOG games. For instance if you've always used the offline installers and now want to use Galaxy without re-installing all the games. Or in case you completely re-install Galaxy for some reason.

In Galaxy 2.0, to get access to games of other services, it's called "Integrations" which you'll have to "connect". Then Galaxy 2.0 basically uses Steam and Co to manage your games. They don't magically become GOG games, sadly. ;-)

Okay Thanks
Так, что б флуд не листать весь. Кто-то из русско говорящих и следящих за веткой может скажет , когда в итоге официальный релиз, публичный? Спасибо.
The Galaxy (1.2.59) Shift+Tab and the Chat feature are quite slow, not to mention the Chat continually has problems during the use, not only slow but after a short period of use, terminates the room with a connection problem.

Any tip?

Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.

Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?
I am brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary everyday.
I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
Appreciate it!
Suggstion: "Manually add ALTERNATIVE"
For example:
I own Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island on Steam, but I also own it on DVD (with a cracked .exe, I admit. The copy protection won't work on Windows 10 anymore), I would like to start the DVD/Offline-Version.
When I want to "manually add a game", it redirects me to the Steam game page. I would like to add the offline version as an alternative. The same goes for a couple of other games.
With the latest release of Galaxy (2.0.9) I've noticed that when I select GOG.com on the left sidebar to only see my GOG.com games, it also shows me my games from all other stores as if I had chosen the "All games" option instead.

I've attached a screenshot showing the issue, and showing that only the GOG store platform is selected currently, but it still shows all stores in the library view anyway.

I just tried to report the above bug in Mantis, and Mantis is not configured to let you choose Galaxy 2.0.x in the version number selector. Does this mean we should not be reporting bugs in Mantis anymore, or is there a separate Mantis for Galaxy 2.0? The initial post in this thread points to http://mantis.gog.com so that is what I'm using currently.

Hey,

we have released GOG Galaxy 1.2.63 update.

It brings In-game Overlay support for games using Vulkan API and also brings the changes which were already available on channel with Beta updates.
Those are:
- We have updated Chromium Embedded Framework, which is an engine for our application.
- We have introduced changes to the update process, so that showing UAC popup is no longer required and the updates will no longer be downloaded on the start of the application.

Enjoy :)

Would be nice if internet pages could be opened within the Galaxy Client (without browser). THX.
"Issue", hm? Like the inability to take screenshots? How do I revert?

Laberbacke: "Issue", hm? Like the inability to take screenshots? How do I revert?
If that's your only issue, then you're lucky.

New update destroyed a lot of my games.

No Man's Sky: crashes on start
PoE II: crashes on start
Divinity: Original Sin 2: crashes on start (well, it loads, the the screen turns black, no way out...)
Stellarsi: refuses to load
Age of Wonders III. all save games lost
Everspace: all save games lost
Pathfinder kingmaker: loads, has all save games, but claims the dlc's are missing, so save games can't be loaded

And I didn't try my other games. To frustrated. :(((

Trommelveit: .,..
Hey,

we have released GOG Galaxy 1.2.64.
This fixes an issue with launching games from introduced in 1.2.63.

All the changes from 1.2.63 are still valid for this version.

Enjoy
Ups. I have now the new GOG 1.2.64. The theme changed from black theme to the white theme... :(. I want the black theme back.... Any Idea where i can change this?
