Same problem here.

I reverted to GOG Galaxy 20.0.58.4, but it did not help.

No connection to Steam.

I swear more gets broken than is actually fixed with every update. These past few months have really started to push me away from GOG as Galaxy is causing far too many issues as of late.

Anyone actually know why Galaxy can't connect to Steam btw?

Tbf, Galaxy doesn't sync the games for the Rockstar launcher for me at all, so Playnite might be good. First time I've ever heard of it so gonna check it out.

Steam changed their login API, as I said before

Playnite takes a lot of time for costumization, but after all good, and a good theme, you can have even more options than Gog galaxy, even achievements. The only bad thing in Playnite its that ubisoft connect didnt update the games or use any kind of achievements. By far for the rest its awesome.

Problems with Ubisoft, EA, Steam... GOG GALAXY is useless. Uninstalling.

Same issue's cropped up again. API issue once more I can only presume.

I guess this really is the end of it, right?

I had my share of simping for CDPR and GOG...

I'll be on Playnite as well..

I used some "todo" or "backlog" tags in GoG. Is it possible to export them ? I would like to integrate those tags in Playnite in some ways.

Screw playnite, I have hours that i put into custom titles and few other reasons I'm not switching over. If i have to learn how to do it myself I'll fix it, not jump ship to some johnny come lately

BUMP, yea, getting really old really fast... lemme know when STEAM integration is fixed and if I have not yet moved to playnight, I will come back...

If hey don't support steam I'm out. Origin and Ubisoft is kind of meh for me as I barely have anything there, but Steam is half my total games library. They either start supporting steam officially or I'm done.

That's a major problem. Instead of the devs giving you nice defaults, _everyone_ has to tweak it. Needs of the few before needs of the many, anyone? Awful design philosophy. I have tweaked playnite to work before but I want something reasonable off the box, now I'd have to figure out the plugins and settings and mods and so on all over.. Ugh.

Edit: Yup. It carries NOTHING over from previous install so it's indeed install everything from scratch from painfully having figured out the linux-y plugin/config maze.

Gah, okay, getting somewhere with playnite.

So I went with eMixedNiteMc theme b, which seemed promising, combining ideas from different themes.

To get started, you have to download the theme, which is under "Add-ons->Browse->Themes Desktop"

But wait, you're nowhere near done yet, that'd be too easy, remember I said it's better to have everyone work everything out instead of giving a nice one-shot package that configures things nicely for you. Now you need a whole a bunch of other add-ons, which you will install from Add-ons->Browse->Generic. There are quite a few which the theme expects you to have, I attached the screen capture after you grab everything indicated for this theme and the theme it's derivative of.

After installing all that, you're expected to wade through dozens of add-on settings pages, _which do not have nice defaults_, are you seeing a theme here? Fortunately, MCC321 has created a screen-by-screen example of his settings. you can find it here:
https://github.com/MCC321-QC/eMixedNiteMC/wiki/eMixedNiteMC-Settings

That is still nowhere near enough, that'd be too easy! Presuming you set up your store integrations, you have probably noticed by now Playnite will not find majority of games cover art in it's default settings .. Familiar yet?

Head over to "Add-ons->Browse->Metadata Sources" and install "Universal Steam Metadata", this is actually created and maintained by Playnite guys but it's not part o f the default install because of, you know, because. There's also SteamGridDB, but I would imagine the playnite's own steam import should work nice..

But wait, this is not enough yet! Now you have to _import_ the cover art and other data to your game library. Head over to "Library->Download Metadata" and add your Steam Universal Metadata to appropriate fields, probably all of them. This is note done for you, because, you know.

This will take seriously long time depending how large library you have, so go watch some TV series or something while it'll do it's stuff.

Now the one thing still missing at this point is getting the nice "owned games / installed / GOG.com / Steam / etc" quick selection at the left toolbar. I'm sure there's some arcane way to add it. Yes, you can group games by source but that doesn't give you quick filter, it'll instead list your whole library in order for each store at the same time that you can "conveniently" scroll through.. Okay, to be fail you can collapse a said store but that's not quite convenient and getting back to "all installed games" is not one-click affair.

All right, the last secret setting found. What I want is the "Explorer" pane, which does not have button to enable it by default, because .. you know.

To get the setting available, head over to "Settings->Appearance->Top Panel", there's a tick for explorer panel but I think "general view settings" is good enough as it gives you the kind of drop-down menu where you can find these options. So enable "explorer panel" and now you have quick filters per store or all of them, provided you pick "source" in the explorer drop down pane. You may notice that the explorer pane is unreasonably big, so you grab your mouse and drag it smaller .. Ha-ha!

Well, that's found in "Sesttings->Appearance->Layout", change Explorer panel width to 130

But wait, where's the installed only-button? This at least is visible by default (*gasp*) and found under "grouping".

Well is that all? Of course it isn't! You're not seeing the details pane, are you? In grid view, hower over a game and click on "Game Details".. Now you'll note that your grid view disappear! SAD! Okay, let's not panic, it's still there but depending on your window size, you can't see it because the fixed details pane size will completely cover it. To change that, head over to Settings->Appearance->Layout and change "grid view details position" to a smaller number from the default 1140. I'm using 800, it's working for me but this is purely a matter of taste.

One bit left to do is to fiddle with the grid view cover height, to my mind it's too big as it is, the setting is theoretically in "add-ons->Extension settings->Generic->Theme modifier" but this does not seem to work. Luckily the theme gives you sliders that you can play with directly from the main view. Click on the "windows" logo (four squares) on bottom of the window and fiddle with the second slider to adjust the cover height to taste. You may also want to move over to "Settings->Appearance->General->Grid view" and change "Stretch mode" to "Uniform" instead of "Uniform to fill", as the latter will clip the cover image if it's not a perfect fit. In the same space you can also adjust "Item Spacing" and "Border Width" to add a bit of gap between the covers, to my mind the default is too cramped. Lastly, you can fiddle with the "Target aspect ratio" from presets there are for different stores. I actually like "square", which is not actually a square..

After all that, Playnite is more or less ready to go!!!
