Thank you, I appreciate you letting us know!

4 weeks passed and GOG still does not fix the issue.

I've used this nonstop for years, even if you see errors don't fret you still get your games backed up. It's the only thing I use to maintain my collection here on GOG and it works beautifully!

I hope that when this gets fixed it'll notify about all the updates we've missed over the last month and counting.

I been using galaxy that honestly works great for download and backing up games. But might try this out since updating marks are broken.

You mean it's been like a month. Not sure how difficult it can be to fix.

It was obviously in reference to this being acknowledged as an issue on GOG's end on October 10th. That's the post that was directly quoted.

That part flew over my head. haha

I only have about half that, but still...

Is there anything weird I need to do with the format on my external hard drive to run gogrepoc? I'm running the directory structure from way back in Downloader 1.0, so a lot of the installers don't even have versioning. I've done my best to keep the directory structure identical to the name of the .exe installer, i.e., "setup_fantastic_game_2.44(26956).exe" is saved in directory "fantastic_game", along with all the .bins and goodies. It's actually in a "GOG downloads" directory off the root, but that could be easily changed if necessary.

I'd much rather go through and do a lot of manual work up front rather than download at restricted bandwidth a bunch of stuff I already have on that drive.

Thanks!

Gogrecoc has an import function,. if you point that at your existing directory and give it a different directory to setup for gogrepoc it will do it's best to recognize stuff and move it to the new location. Just to be clear the order is update, then import (because the import needs a manifest to know what it's looking for)

I assume that whenever this gets fixed, games that were updated while it wasn't working won't be flagged retroactively..., or will they?

Probably not. The update tags seem to require human intervention because games can have their files changed without being marked as updated.

I expect the answer to be "no" exactly because of that. Makes you wonder why they do it that way and haven't automated ii already.
