I agree, it's an absolute nonsense. One notification for chat related stuff, separate notification for forum replies, and if you want info about game updates you have to specifically check your library. However, at the time it was a small miracle they could bring a completely broken notification system back to life.

News page got some squint.

And a strange "new game":

The last few days, I've seen numerous game pages loading incorrectly, especially the languages and game features sections (see images). It's not affecting any specific pages, but may intermittently affect any (I just reload the same page several times and it's likely to appear at some point).

Also seen here!
If there are a lot of different localizations - screen needs to be scrolled several pages
Problem seen in Firefox and also rechecked in Internet exploder

I got this one too today, but only with cookies disallowed. After I allow them, page usually (re)loads correctly, and if not, a page refresh does the trick.


EDIT: I'm taking back the bit about the cookies making a difference, seems to have been a coincidence. I'm now getting that while logged in, and refreshing the page doesn't fix things. Console mentions: EDIT2: Opening the same page in a different tab seems to be a workaround.

It's fairly random. Basically, some fields on the game page (release date, languages, game features) are loaded independently from the main game text, so if they are significantly delayed for some reason (e.g. because GOG reduced the website traffic bandwidth to offer more bandwidth for the beta testing of version 2.0 of some app (just a wild guess)), the page may end up loading them incorrectly (or not at all). From MaGog's logs there is about 30% chance of this happening for any given game page, which explains why one or two reloads usually fix it.

Fairly random, indeed. And as I found out later on, even a couple of reloads or opening the page in a new tab instead don't always fix it.


You, sir, have a very wild imagination - I'm certain that GOG would never prioritise such beta testing. Ever.

Now, when the weekly sale usualy comes, the gog main page is dead.
What elder dragon could do that?

Page Layout Update? Summer Sale? Skyrim?

Edit: False Alarm. All works fine.

I just saw that right now, too. But it turned out I had JavaScript turned off. Oops. So all really is fine.

After about ten days, this appears to have been resolved.

When I click store page on Galaxy it keeps trying to open Facebook on my browser.
Started with summer sale.

How do I block that kind of cancer?
