Just installed and played two races in Carmageddon Max Damage and I noticed that it has already populated my player name as my GOG username. Now considering that I've installed via the Classic installers and not GOG Galaxy, how did it do this?

EDIT: It also contains leaderboards with other GOG users on them, so it must be getting that information through some part of GOG's infrastructure. I do have GOG Galaxy installed (to use as a download manager of the larger Classic installers via the download backup functionality) and only one game installed via Galaxy (which was accidental due to downloading the wrong installer type), which is Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, but Carmageddon Max Damage was installed via the Classic installer and not the GOG Galaxy installer.

So even when the game is installed via the Classic installer, it still references the GOG Galaxy client if it is installed and logged in? And even when the GOG Galaxy client is not open and the services not running? (As I don't have it set to automatically start so it only opens when I ask it to).

Many thanks, that would explain it then. Hmm, I might want to see if I can get my GOG username changed so that the k becomes upper case then. I never used to mind so much when it was just the website and forum, but if it will now start showing up in games then I'd prefer the upper case initial.
