1) As of right now, how do you roll back! I can find no way to revert and/or download a non-beta from the website that is functional.

2) For color impaired persons (25% of male population of the world), the current fixed settings make it IMPOSSIBLE to use. It took me over 30 minutes (and ended up having to get my wife), to evern find buttons to click to verify Settings doesnt have an option to change the display colors). Beta is one thing and not all features may be availble... but when the entire interface is effectively unusable, something needs to be fixed sooner then later. Either allow options to change, pick a scheme that has proper contrasts differences and follows international standards on designs for colors and contrasts.

3) If it is going to be a 'Beta' an option to have the known working/stable verision is required. With this beta upgrade (and no apparent way to uninstall and re-installl a working non-beta version), my 171 games are near impossible for me by myself to know install/use.

4) Very minor but greatly missed, working with my wife to find the recent purchased game (but not yet isntalled), the option to sort by 'Date Purchased' as in verision 1.0 is very much missed.

The old version is here:

https://content-system.gog.com/open_link/download?path=/open/galaxy/client/setup_galaxy_1.2.67.58.exe

You can try to use the /runWithoutUpdating command in the shortcut. I am still running 1.2, but who knows for how long.

Probably not long. I was running Galaxy 1.2 with the /runWithoutUpdating command, and it still forced the update on me. This literally happened about 30 minutes ago.

So there is no escape?

I can't use the new Galaxy. It literally hurts my eyes. Why it have to be so dark?

Library is useless. No titles, no sorting options. I need to figure out which game is the one I'm looking for by just looking at the covers. It's painful even if I don't have that many. Luckily!

Seriously GOG how could you release that c@#$? Didn't you hear about UX Design? User centered design? User testing? Nope?

Not being able to view the forums from the client anymore is a pain in the ass, too.

Worry not, galaxy is optional. If 2.x is causing you more problems than doing it manually then just do it by hand.

It auto updated, I was in fear as could not stop the thing. I tried the beta a long time ago and uninstalled the thing. I got to see it and try it again tonight, its just so bad I cant get the words out to explain well. I hate it.
So using the above link to 1.67, add the /runWithoutUpdating and fingers crossed its working like it was.

What a way to treat customers, shame on GOG

You can sort, enlarge, add details, titles and lot of stuff from the button at the top of the window. See attachment.

Personally I felt it was an attempt to beat Steam to the race of its new UI, since screenshots had leaked of Steam's concepts a couple years ago and one can see the influence it has had on Galaxy 2's design.

As Steam accelerated the development and release of their new UI the push for Galaxy to more distinguish itself I imagine they felt was important (since they can't compete on a variety of Steam store/community features) and so creating an all-in-one client was obviously floated as a key concept which they may have felt also gives new users some impression of GOG having some equal footing with competing services that feature current AAA games that use DRM (eg: good for promotional screenshots). The 'others playing' elements being an extension of that.

My two cents anyway. I don't mind the all-in-one concept but it probably doesn't make GOG's work any easier long-term :D

that "all launchers in one" concept can never work because the other launchers change very often, which means you have to adjust your launcher continuosly. that's a big problem and i'm not even counting in what happens when other companies starting to fight the integration into other launchers ... it's a fun idea which would need an endless amount of ressources to be successfull which no one has, so ... here we are.

At least allow us to select between GOG 1.x and 2.x. This is VERY disappointing.

I agree. A lot of other posters agree with you as well.

Its not literally all launchers in one. 2.0 simply starts other launchers, its like a one shortcut for all you platforms. So its not that complicated and evolving of other platforms isnt some trouble.

Not to mention, in many countries, blocking this functionality would likely be a violation of anti-monopoly laws. There's not really a viable way to even prevent it in the first place, and if there was, it would probably be illegal in large enough markets not to be worth the trouble of trying.
