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

- 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

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.

I believe you have to install Microsoft Visual C++
I'm not sure which version though.

RadonGOG: Ah, I see! So there will be a new downloader as well at the time Galaxy launches for public? (I´ve got the test-version!)
avatar
JMich: From what I recall, Galaxy will replace the downloader.

avatar
RadonGOG: BTW: Will Galaxy get an additional feature to keep the installer in the download folder and do not automatically delete it?Course that´s the standard way for it right now...
avatar
JMich: From this post:

avatar
Fallen_Zen: You cannot yet download standalone installers, DLCs or bonus content but this will be added later.
avatar
JMich: Galaxy doesn't delete installers, because it doesn't download installers.
Thanks for all these answers!
I'm interested in participation. :)

When new client features are expected?
I've not found any real problem so far with galaxy and I'd like to see it in beta stage(at least) when The Witcher 3 is released.
The only issues I had so far (occasional rendering issues) have been reported already. All in all it seems to be working very nicely.

There will be many updates (and features) before The Witcher 3 release, don't worry :).

I did that and submitted my email address. It looks like I should wait according to this post and description on Galaxy page.

You have to install C++ Redistributables (x86), you can download it here:

You will receive your key after the next update, most likely. That's when they're sending the keys in the past. No one knows exactly when the next update will be, but the current one was released in the past week, and it was a few weeks before that for the previous one.
I don't have time to sit through and read every single message and this has probably been requested before...

But I'd like the client to have a taskbar icon in the corner of the screen, next to the clock/date. It just doesn't feel right having this program open on the taskbar in the middle of other programs I have stickied. A small icon in the corner would look better I think.

Thanks for the info and details. I hope that next update will come soon.
Version 0.2.2.662 Winows 7

The program itself, as well as any windows the programs open, all open underneath open windows.
The Library tab reports 40 games but only displays 39 games. (Is Galaxy reporting itself as one of the games?)
I have installed 11 games and playtested 8 of them. No problems.
When I click on "Account," the "Messages" option is grayed out and unclickable.
I enjoy the simple interface and the organization it brings to my collection.
I like the one-click install option. I understand the finished product will also include an option to download the installer. That would be good, too. I will enjoy having the choice.
