Satisfying!

We're testing out an up-and-coming feature in GOG Galaxy: Achievement Notifications that will be part of the game overlay in the future, and <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span> is our playground!

You too can experience that satisfying feeling of scoring a new achievement in GOG Galaxy, but beware - it's a Beta feature that's still being tested. On you.

November 12 - Update:
To enable your Achievement Notifications, first make sure that you have claimed and installed the 16 Free DLC pack. You should now see a new Game Overlay setting in the client (enabled by default), use this toggle to enable or disable the feature.
If you don't see your notifications - make sure that the feature was enabled for you automatically, or simply try turning it off and on again.

Enjoy the new (and easier to use) Achievement Notifications in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

If you downloaded it a few months ago but only tried to play it now, you may not be aware that there have been several extensive patches and DLCs added. If you don't remember downloading them (trust me, the size is memorable!) then you need to go to GOG and download. That's probably why it's not working.

Exactly the same problem, especially just as dialogues are initiated. I've now removed the overlay, and have, apparently, removed the problem!

I have the same problem with CTD. As soon as dialog is initiated the game crash. Disabling the overlay removed the problem.

Tested notification today and it is working for me now. I think notification dissapearing a bit too fast.

So returned to witcher 3 after a bit of a break.

Suddenly the game wouldn't launch from steam (which I use to take screenshots since there's no real other way other then separate programs and such)

So I twiddled around a bit, and if I disable the "game overlay" DLC, then everything works fine again, so it would seem that this overlay is causing issues?

Game overlay is an optional feature - as entire Galaxy. If you don't like it or it's causing any issues for you, please disable it.

disabling/enabling Game overlay:
More -> Configure -> DLC: Game Overlay

Oh, definitely understand, just thought I would make people aware of the issue, as I don't think the overlay was intended to break other overlays?, I enjoy galaxy quite a bit, actually hoping for a screenshot feature of its own, for games like witcher 3 that don't have a built in function of its own for that :) or at least not that I have been able to find. Which is why I use the steam overlay for screenshots currently, but yeah that was broken by the game overlay in witcher 3.

Edit: I would like to make a suggestion in terms of game overlays, is it possible it can get its own checkbox on the first page of the game? rather then it being under game DLC? A button near play or such that would indicate if overlay was on or off since the feature is a galaxy feature not specifically the game?
Other then that keep up the great work :)

I think that Galaxy will finally get the screenshots capturing feature also :)

and about the bug, the overlay technology works in the way that sometimes can interferer in other overlays. ofc, we would like to have it working with all others.

the game overlay button is temporary placed in the DLC section, once we have it working for all games it will be in proper menu.

Thanks xondk, nice to hear your feedback :)

On the overlay, the timer and achievement percentage is not accurate. The achievement I get notified is not shown when I shit+tab. I don't have the free DLC downloaded so I'll see if that's the issue.

Cheer my achievments are now working with patch 1.30
