Garrett24601: Is anyone else having trouble accessing the general forums?
I keep getting an error code 500.
Yep, that is happening quite often today. They are probably messing with the website because of the galaxy friends stuff.

CarrionCrow: It's definitely a crappy thought, having to download everything again. Think I'm going to hold off on that part of things for a bit, see what they implement before jumping into that pain in the ass.

GhostwriterDoF: I would think we would be notified with a flag of which games have updates, and then we could choose which ones we want to update, when we want them to start, and how many we wish to download at one time?
The problem is, myself and undoubtedly a lot of other people have downloaded game installers before Galaxy was a thing. As such, they don't have the Galaxy stuff included to make them compatible.
Right now, the only way to fix that is to download the updated installers again.Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them....-groans-

Have also had that problem repeatedly. No Atlas bear popup, just that error.

Thanks; I thought it might just be me. Good to know.

j0ekerr: Good afternoon hunger dogs.

Welp, the client is going into beta, I wonder if the sudden increase in client requests will rape the servers.

Anyone remember my last bout of rage with DS1 on Steam? No? Well there were problems with the online mode. The problems remain, but I've discovered a nifty little program that tells me if there are any peers in the lobby or if I'm completely alone, FOREVER.

DS has horrible netcode.

Okay let's see what have you people and other things been up to.
Good afternoon :).
Could be. I already had some Gogbears today.

moonshineshadow: The thing is:
1. at the moment you need to disable / enable auto-updates for every game seperatly. And normally it is enabled. If you disable it, you get a notification if updates arrive and can do them manually
2. for games to be integrated into your galaxy library, you need to either download them through galaxy or import an installed version from your pc. If you import galaxy will automatically update to make the game galaxy compatible which can be quite a huge amount of data.
By automatically update, does that mean it will function like Steam, and a download just starts when it is available (or when we enable it, by files being updated and not a separate patch file (or full installer)? Which should only update if we have a game installed,

I see DD was trying to tell everybody the truth about owls.

Let's see her do the same thing to Leman Russ, but with wolves.

And I also just saw the new forum feature.

Already sent a few invites.

Facebook syndrome? Are we headed towards a friends race in which someone will proudly state: "I haz moar frendz than U!"?

Yet they will be forever alone.

So every GoG game will have Galaxy tied into it, whether it is Multi-player oriented or not? :o

I could have sworn I read that you could add them manually.

Much like adding a non-steam game to the client's library.

If you are refering to point 1: Auto update means that an installed game will update as soon as the client starts, if a patch is available. But like I said, you can turn that off and just get notifications about updates and do them manually.

Or if you are refering to point two, it means that if you want to add a game to gog galaxy which is already installed it needs to be made compatible and once you click on the "add game" button it will update. Nothing you can do about it.

Yes, if you want auto updates and such the game needs to be installed through, and compatible with, Galaxy.
GOG is now updating ALL of their games to be compatible. I think most are already updated.

You can add them manually, but at the moment they need to be made galaxy compatible, so the client starts to download a big amount of date and updates the game once you add it.

As far as I know, every game already does at this point. The installers had the Galaxy bits added onto them a while back, I don't think any have been missed by now.
If you don't use Galaxy, it doesn't change anything, but if you do want to use that but your installer doesn't have the aforementioned bits, you can't.

You can, but it will update it to the Galaxy version. All of my install files are NON Galaxy version. :/
Edit: MOST of my installers are non galaxy. Just found one that was. ;)
