Falran: Hey everyone,
Some of our users are indeed experiencing difficulties with updating their GOG GALAXY. Rest assured, the appropriate team is currently investigating the issue.
If you are one of the affected, please turn off GOG GALAXY completely, by going to the top left corner's cogwheel and pressing "Exit". Next please make sure that GOG GALAXY (or any related processes) aren't still running in the background (if so, close them by selecting "End task"). You can do this via Task Manager (use the combination of WIN key+R and type: taskmgr)
Next, please download the GOG GALAXY Webinstaller (the big DOWNLOAD button).
Lastly, please "install" GOG GALAXY by using the Webinstaller. This will make the installer update your GOG GALAXY and overwrite any possible damaged files.
Once you turn GOG GALAXY back on you should have the newest update available and no changes will be made to your games or library (you won't have to re-import the games etc.).

There was a patch note today that said this was fixed though I still get failure to update Galaxy when downloading it. Hopefully downloading a fresh copy fixes it.

This worked for me. BTW there are two big download buttons on the GOG Galaxy Website (one near the top and one near the bottom). I doubt it matters which one you use, though.Some of our users are indeed experiencing difficulties with updating their GOG GALAXY.

This worked for me after days of trying everything else. What I was misreading is that when opening Task Manager you have to browse background tasks for any apps which may use GOG. After I disabled those tasks I could install the new download and install the new version.Some of our users are indeed experiencing difficulties with updating their GOG GALAXY.

Tried updating twice, failed. And they said they fixed this. Oh well, there's always the next update. At this rate, this version will be in beta for 20 more years...

I noticed in the changelog the "report a bug" option was removed. So now how is someone supposed to report a bug? A Vulcan mindmeld? Sending up smoke signals? The automated support chat bot is less helpful than a half-baked potato.

Yeah, as I wrote on other occasions, the best way to do it is actually to update right after Windows start since after quitting Galaxy some fils tend to remain locked.

That 'report a bug' thing irritates me as well.
They said it would be come 'easier' to reach support, not a even bigger pain in the ass.

GOG seems to not want to hear about issues with the client, removing the ability to report a bug is very counter intuituve.

The bug reports had been ignored for ages. Removing the menu item just prevents people from wasting their time. "Get support" and "Share feedback" are as self-explanatory as possible. The only issue is the chatbot, and for that you have your answer in the thread your started.
