PixelBoy: I have the exact same problem with those exact same games!

Although I guess it can be partially due to some settings.
I just found out that my Steam account had games list set as private, even though the profile itself was public.

I don't know if that has something to do with it. I haven't changed any Steam settings, as I don't really use Steam, I only redeem free codes from bundles and such, but in the past GOG Connect actually worked for me. I heard that Steam might have changed their privacy settings, and if that's true, then maybe trying different settings will help.

Sadly I discovered this settings issue only after trying that Connect refresh button twice. And that has a two-hour reset, although resetting it took much longer than two hours, so who knows how long it will take before I can hit it third time.

PixelBoy: I can confirm now that it's about those privacy settings, apparently.

You need to have TWO things set to public:

- Steam profile in general
- games list under Steam profile.

After that, you may need to refresh a couple of times, but in the end, the games should end up in the GOG library.

melancthon: So...

I was really excited to add original and HK Shadowrun to my collection (loved Dragonfall), and Age of Wonders 3 to boot! I've got the Steam keys for all three games but never activated them, partially as Steam is super annoying but also hoping they'd return to GOG Connect. And my prayers were answered! So I happily activated all three keys on my Steam account, hit 'refresh' - and nothing. Ah well, let's hit the Help files - okay, I set my Steam profile to public and the games list to public, I waited two hours (two and a half just to be sure), came back - waiiit...where's the refresh button?

Okay, just reload the page, right? Nope - no refresh button. And still no three newly available games. Okay, I set up everything in the Steam client, how about logging in on my browser? And then double checking that everything is set to public? Nope, that didn't work. And everytime I go back to the GOG Connect page, it detects no new games and the refresh button never returns. I guess I'll try waiting another two hours before reloading, and see if the refresh button decides to come back?

melancthon: That text was not present - I only get it right after hitting refresh, and it goes away upon page reloading.

Looking at other threads, it seems I tried connecting too late in the day, after the Steam API had been hammered flat by requests - so I waited until the next morning (when is Polish midnight?:p), and sure enough, all three games availed themselves to me. Hurray!

In order not to have my posts be just wasted complaining/coolstory, it seems likely that Connect counts reloading the page as a refresh attempt (so anyone reading this in the future can spare themselves a little annoyance), and now I wonder: how many hits can the Steam API take in a day before exhausting itself?

By the way, thank you for this thread, it's an excellent resource and should really be sticky'd, as the Connect process is a bit mysterious (as well as time-limited, which makes people antsier than usual), so some explanation and reassurance is definitely in order from SOMEone.

tastymonkey: The only on that list so far that I do not have is Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition.
Well, I do not want Age of Wonders 3. I hope the next week list is good as well. I wonder if the change to a new list will be starting tomorrow.

Koitenshin: Why do we even need this topic when we've had the other one for longer?
