Hi, everyone!

The Galaxy team is hard at work to bring you the Client application that will let you manage your GOG.com games library more conveniently. We’d love for the initial release experience to be as smooth and streamlined as possible for everyone, but releasing an app of this scope is no easy feat.

But before we jump in and hand out the alpha Client, we’d like to set some ground rules.

1) The key word here is ‘alpha’, which means that this is not the final app and not all functionalities are present. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the core tech in the Client on a wider set of computer configurations than what we can locally test on, so only core features are included. Below I will post a detailed list of what is present and what we plan to add in future releases.

2) Alpha also means that you can encounter some unexpected issues. If you have a metered connection (a bandwidth cap or payments per bandwidth used) or you’re currently playing and can’t afford a loss of game time, this might not be for you. In other words, if you want to avoid potential problems with the alpha Client, simply wait for the final release.

3) Please, please, please refrain from posting screenshots, reviews or first impressions, both on our forums or elsewhere, as this is not the final product and many changes will still be made.

If you’ve read all of the above proceed to the signup page: http://www.gog.com/galaxy/alpha

We will be sending out invitations in batches (along with some more info on how to install the client and report bugs), so not everyone will receive one right away.

Hi everyone,

we've released the 0.7 version a couple of minutes ago, here's the changelog:

- Back/Forward navigation in the Store section
- Import Folder - it is now possible to import a game which is not compatible with the client, by clicking the game in the Library section and choosing ‘Import Folder’ from the More dropdown
- Startup page option - it is now possible to decide if the client should start on LIBRARY page, STORE page, or continue previous session
- Search option - you can press enter in the search field to continue searching in the Store
- Option to Show Game Folder added to MORE menu
- New sidebar sorting options (sort by name)
- External links will now be forwarded to the system browser
- Wishlist option added to the LIBRARY menu
- Community option in the STORE menu
- Forum Replies option in the ACCOUNT menu
- Option to keep saves, when uninstalling a game
- Windows: starting the client when another instance is already running should now open the running instance (rather than displaying error message)
- Improved ‘Last Played’ information, which should now show the time of the user stopped playing the game, rather than started playing the game
- Fixed uninstallation issues on Windows
- Fixed an issue which prevented using Paypal, when buying a game
- Fixed an issue which prevented from displaying Terms and Agreements when registering new account
- Fixed some issues when installing and uninstalling DLCs
- Bugfix: client will now not allow dragging elements onto its window
- Fixed memory leaks, causing to crash the application when downloading lots of games
- Fixed a bug which was causing the client to crash on exit

HOW TO IMPORT EXISTING GAMES INSTALLATIONS INTO GALAXY

1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the "+" button on top of the sidebar and select "scan and import folders" - it will find all compatible games within that folder and add them to the Client.

2. For remaining GOG game INSTALLATIONS
Find the game in the Library, then click the More button and select "Manage" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.

tailsy64: Dumb question incoming! Anyway I installed Aliens vs. Predator 2000 (after an issue of it hanging at 99.9% and installing after I restarted the client). I noticed it didn't give me a setup EXE, I'm guessing this is to make things easier.

My question, after Galaxy officially launches, will I still be able to download setups from the site, like I've always have? I still like the Setup programs as I can back those up easily to CD-R and DVD-R to have my "physical" offline copy.

Really, being able to back up easily and install without Internet access has always been my favorite thing about GOG.
You will always be able to download the setup files from GOG.com on your account page. The Galaxy client will do things differently, though.

So for your first install, you'll probably want to download and install from the web first, and then back them up and link them to Galaxy, then play them. It's not as convenient, but it will work.

I personally quit backing up my files. It seems like more work than it really needs considering my Internet speed. I don't think GOG is going anywhere any time soon. Unless Witcher 3 flops big time. ;)

Yes; the Galaxy client will always be optional and you'll still be able to download directly from the site. Edit: oh dear, it seems I've been Ninja'd by Tallima

Setup up? do you mean the installers? if so you can still grab those even through Galaxy just click on the game and then hit the "More" button next to the play/install button and then select Extras there you will see your standard GOG installer on the left under Game Installer and your typical extras to the right of the screen.

Yeah, its a clunky way of doing it, but it is possible.

Well hopefully they find a better method by time it hits Beta.

hackerkok: Thanks for the invite!

I have an issue. I have installed galaxy and tried to download a game. The game always fails to download and I get the error message: INSTALLATION FAILED: OUT OF DISK SPACE. I have 128GB space left though. Is there any way I can solve this problem? I have changed the default installation folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Games.

distracted.130: It's probably a permissions issue. The app may not be able to write to that directory. If this is the case, then the error message could be a bit more specific.
It is indeed a permission info ( according to the log file). But it still occurs when I run galaxy as an admin.

distracted.130: I can't find a way to clear the "Forum Replies 'Unread Replies'" notification inside the client. Clicking on the notification directs me to a page with the relevant thread listed, but the notification persists.

Edit: It did eventually clear itself, but there was a significant delay.
This is still being optimised. It should work almost instantly in the future.

Kierdel: Let me add another vote for such a feature.

Some other flags would also be useful. For example: "Must find time to play it as soon as possible", "Only in my library because of a bundle", "Hated it, never want to see it again on my list". Or simply user-defined flags/folders.
avatar
distracted.130: It may not be exactly what you want, but you can hide games from the library using the right hand drop down menu.
Yes, I know, but this only offers some of the functionality full implementation of tags would provide.

IronArcturus: Will the Alpha or Beta remove the old Galaxy "leftovers" from the previous builds? Like the first one with AvP 2000?
Yes, those installers will be stripped of the GOG Launcher. You'll be able to use GOG Galaxy for AvP.

stevieknix: Can you pause downloads in Galaxy? If you can I have not found the option.
No yet, certainly this function is coming.

Senteria: Hmm

- the games in my library won't scroll unless I click on the bar that lets you slide through your games first. Only then scrolling works.
- an older installed version of the witcher adventure game on another HDD is added to the galaxy client despite I already have it in there. This is creating a duplicate entry.
Could you post an issue on Mantis about this? With logs if that is possible. Thank you!

The ! symbol over the account when Galaxy notifications appear is a non-gray square. Should I report to Mantis? :P

I agree, I like your idea. I was thinking more as a stopgap.

Thanks you two, just tried it with Superfrog. I installed that after AvP2000 to see if it would hang at 99.9% like AvP2000 did, it didn't.

Noted and thanks. Seeing how the GOG Launcher was part of a multiplayer beta, I kind of didn't want to backup the game until that launcher was gone.
