Thank you for keeping us informed. I really appreciate your transparency about the situation.❤️

(I have informed the French community with your message. )

I've opened a support ticket for the new Linux build of Neverwinter Nights yesterday. No answer from support yet, but the missing files seem to be added, just downloading... :)

So thanks for the update and making progress, GOG!

Now just bring back the discounts from the weekend. ;)

Appreciate the update. Thanks for letting us know and please keep up informed of any future developments.

A quick update for people following my reports:

I have just started a run to test the current situation. Expect a report in 4-5 hours.

However, it does look much better. Having run through about 100 games, so far there are no 404 errors for any file.

On the other hand, unlike yesterday and before, MD5 data now seems to be missing for every single game and file.

EDIT: You can ignore the MD5 comment. It was an issue triggered specifically on my setup, probably due to some legitimate GOG change.

Thank you for the appreciated update.

Could you please implement a system that lets one easily backup (and keep updated) the entire library owned? And please don't make it dependent on the Galaxy client.

It seems bringing back the classic Downloader would be a solution that lots of people want, here is a relevant wishlist entry. Thank you.

All games that were 404ing before now seem to be downloading (their offline installers) just fine. I've verified that the ones I care about also install properly and boot up normally.

Thank you!

What does that mean? Where do you get the MD5 data from?

GOG has MD5 data associated with each of their files (installers and patches, not goodies), which can be obtained from their servers through their API. Well, could until today. For now, it's gone.

Thanks for the update... but your provider isnt expected to be up tilll Thursday? Gotta beg the question here... what happened? I'm genuinely curious.

Which tool are you using for downloads?
lgogdownloader seems to be fetching MD5 data just fine for the few games I've tested.

No way to automatically parse and check every single file if it's accessible and can be downloaded, on your end?

Maybe you got a lack of understanding me: I did not want to express a "absolute lack of caring", this is exactly why i didnt use the phrase "could not care less". So i said "could care less"... as in "the other matter is of higher importance".

Could, as in able, to "care less"... for me it makes sense but i am not strongly connected with english language, so it may sound weird. Perhaps it may sound more refined if i use the term "it is rather low on the totem pole, yet still relevant".

That's interesting. I'm using gogrepoc.

I still dont get it because those MD5, from the EXE, should still be there else the file would be broken (not complete anymore). Are you fetching it from the server?

I just download it manually, put the content into a folder and will be attaching my own MD5 info. Of course, before its done i may use the GoG MD5 check and verify nothing is broken... If i am sure the folder is not corrupt i will ZIP it and attach the MD5 of the entire content. But of course, you could use both, the executable MD5 and the MD5 of the zipped folder.

Advantage is: Once you know a certain folder is "correct" you do not need to check so many files anymore, instead the entire package which has been set to around 150 GB max size, of each package. Although my game-files are handled by genre and max size inside a certain genre and you can manually check it without settting up any tool (which may need compatibility), so it works for absolutely any file and package. Some games, a few from Steam even, do not have any MD5 and it have to be done manually, this will also count for all the mods.
