Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me. Running most updated version of Sonoma

I have found a patch that works flawlessly for me.
I realized that executing this (/Users/Shared/GOG.com/Galaxy/redists/GalaxyCommunication) every 5-15 seconds prevented the launcher from crashing. So I wrote a script that did it in the background for me !

All you have to do is create a new .sh file and run it using terminal, here's what you need to put in the file :

#!/bin/zsh
open "/Applications/GOG Galaxy.app"
while true; do
/Users/Shared/GOG.com/Galaxy/redists/GalaxyCommunication
sleep 2
done


Once created, open this .sh file with your terminal and it will open gog as usual, then execute the "fix" in the background every 2 seconds. it does open a terminal window that you can't close (otherwise the launcher crashes) but appart from that everything works fine.

So true. problem still persist even in 2024

You are a star! I had already given up. Yes, it works opening it every 5-10 seconds (lets me start the games). Wonderful!

I have no idea how to create the .sh file. But entering those lines in the terminal seemed to have the same effect.

I can now finally use GOG on my Mac. Thanks again!

I am making the effort to repost this because this is what worked for me. Disable both, then re-enable.

I am on latest version of sonoma on a M1

having the same errors. have cleared everything there is to clear, and reinstalled 3 times.

GOG Galaxy has not worked for me in forever. Did clean installs. Tried all this shenanigans via the terminal. Very odd there is no official word on this.

Yep, this method worked for me. Thanks for your persistence.

It was the same to me

I'm stuck with this issue as well. all solutions here didn't work. worked yesterday and suddenly it now just doesn't. when the error pops up it then disconnects but leave galaxy running a blank screen and I have to force quit the app in order to actually quit the program.

Hi all.

This is what worked for me. There's 2 GOG related background processes that somehow I hd turned off, so I just turn them back on and so far so good.


System Settings > General > Login Items. There is a section to allow background items. This on latest macOS version

Hope this helps

I have a brand new Mac, freshly installed Gog Galaxy (thrice) with both start up objects turned on and the program still crashes instantly. So this is an issue with the software, not the OS. For a problem to persist for so long without a fix/update within days puts this on the level of some indie hacks, not a serious company, selling globally. What a shame.

Still no fix. My account is literally blocked.

Same issue here, as of June 22nd.
