Just wondering if you have to be logged into the client/online to get achievements.

I think you do.

Well things like Uplay achievements can only be gotten by being on-line.

As a member of the GOG.com have said on a post recently, there is a "logged in/logged out" state and an "offline/online" state, achievements will register as long as galaxy is in the "logged in" state regardless of the "offline/online" .

(Meaning as long as galaxy is running, showing your user account, they will actively register even if you lose internet connection, or are not connected in the first place)

Ok.That's a lot better idea.

strange as ive gotten only 9 achievements and most ive gotten dont pop in the client galaxy wise

example the witcher armor set armed and dangerous, no matter what wont give me it

also today i saw the DLC is not in my extras as downloaded or installed
when i try it says SERVER ERROR FAILED

sometimes also the load on the galaxy stuff makes mine say CONNECT,,,
im logged in but it wont register hours played nor achievements

this game is annoyingly awesome but hurts my head to know the real game wont be really out or fixed for quite some time

example the missing cards or quests stuff, innkeeper in prologue missing that card is being fixed
SOOO many issues with the game that i wont be shocked that 10 more patches will come out which in the end will force us to start over after 200 hours in game

grrr
but its so fun i dont mind, just wish stuff worked when it should,,
idk

love the game, but not so much on the bugs which can cause quest breaks or loot to not open etc
esp the lame map and weight system

how hard is it to do a skyrim thing (no i dont like skyrim) but get a house, store items there for relic items im to afraid to sell or drop so now i can carry nothing the entire game

the horse is what carries the items. uhh even when you dont use the horse ever no no

map NEEDS map marking ability imo so we can tag spots we want to visit later or such
most games have this but nooo not this ack

i still rank the witcher 3 about 7/10 if fixed it would be a solid 8-9 of ten
and ffs bring back the dice game too

also the ai needs fixed as most mobs will just stand there waving arms as u just slam em with a crossbow.. zzz

but bottom line
galaxy= not working randomly
galaxy achievements = not working properly some do most done

dlc is now NOT AVAILABLE on my end or my brothers end on gog, its removed from the game and now cant redl it due to server issues

grr

elp?

The DLC is working for me, you have to goto the store and "buy" the DLC, the price is set to free though. Go through and purchase then go into Witcher 3 > Configure and you can activate the DLC in there and it should install.

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to let everyone know that you can earn achievements offline with Galaxy. I never play games with it running, but I just launched it to download some extras and found that I have various achievements in games like Victor Vran and Crypt of the Necrodancer, which even have the correct "X days ago" for when I earned them. I wasn't signed into Galaxy when I was playing the games, and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've even launched Galaxy since playing them.

So yes, you can and do earn achievements when playing offline. Play time is not currently tracked offline, however.

Actually it doesn't work, at least not for all games. Just finished Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition and no achievements at all. I starter game online now, loaded last game save and finished game - I received only this single one achievement for finishing.
