True bro, but gog is offering a service here! and if the service is not working on something they should put up a warning or something or fix it so that its working.

No. I blame cheap ass web 'developers' (not saying GOG's are, but just generalizing stuff) in general that want with a single ShitScript file to cover all browsers.

EDIT: I am surprised this wasn't mentioned in the first few replies.

EDIT2: A customer should never be blamed for the tools he's using. Developers should take all possibilities into considerations and actually sweat to make things work in nearly all browsers available.

The whole web thing is a fragmented joke, I do not expect to be fixed with HTML10, let alone HTML5. Platform specific applications that connect and pull info from servers are the future.

i had similar problems and contacted gog staff already. they said it was known and working to fix it.

Hello,

Thank you for notification. We are aware of that problem, and currently
working on fixing it.

As for now you could change your browser as this issue appears only in IE.

That reminds me a bit of the comments on this site :P But in all seriousness, a site should work with all major browsers, and if it is not, then something needs to be done. Is it possible that IE9 was updated recently, and that they broke something, because I've not heard any other recent reports of this site not working for IE9 user.

It was definitely working last night. Windows Update doesn't show any recent updates installed, apart from a certificate security update that has nothing to do with IE (which was installed few days ago anyways, the page was working last night (talking about not being able to open up Messages)).

Well i got the game thx to the steam browser, but i hope they fix this in the future! and i want to thank everybody that tryed to help me with this thank you guys/girls ;)

If you feel like this has been resolved, you should mark a reply as the solution.

Well i guess this one solves it atm atleast, i guess you have to use another browser instead of IE9 64bit. But i hope they fix it on IE too.

By the way, have you guys considered creating a desktop client?
They'll fix it. It was working last night, so they must have made some change today to mess it up a bit.

One could reverse that argument to say that it is up to MS to ensure that their browser is compatible with the standards that the rest of the web follows. IE is the odd man out here and because of that everyone else is forced to follow their lead? No effin' way. Microsoft should be forced to adapt, not the rest of the world. Of course, this is still not a confirmed scenario at all and I'm still stressing that "IF" in a big way. For all we know, this is simply a case of a bad bit of CSS that IE chokes on, while other browsers are able to swallow it and move on.

On the page that I linked to you can clearly see that there are parts of the CSS standards that other browsers don't support and IE does and vice versa and even parts that nobody supports. So no, it really isn't MS' fault.
Everybody is working on getting their engine to support all the cool things, but people will always disagree on what is necessary, interesting, cool, etc etc etc.
Hence the differences.
The same goes for javascript, HTML, HTML5, etc.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem using IE9 (32-bit).

Also, I've noticed many other issues with the site using IE9. I've just sent in a support ticket detailing them all but they are listed below for reference. To get around these issues I've logged into Steam and booted up a game so that I could use the Steam web browser.

1) Can't view my full list of games and anything I try to do there just shows a spinning disc and never opens up, so cannot download either.

2) When I go to the GOG homepage it doesn't show the My Account button on the top bar, but it does when I move pages, for example, to the Community.

3) Attempting to post to threads but post doesn't get added.

4) Can't post a new topic.

5) Unable to send a support query to GOG.

Yes, it really is MS' fault, just as it is also those other browsers fault for not fully supporting the standards. The difference being, MS already has a history of not even trying to support standards, to the point of trying to force their own standards on everyone else, while most other browsers actually try to keep up (let's face it, the standards are a bit of a moving target). CSS has been a broken mess on IE9 since it's release, and given korell's post above with the list of problems he still has that apparently no other browser has with this site, it would seem that not much has been fixed on the IE side, while the "alternatives" are doing a much better job.
