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

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.

vicklemos: edit: thanks, bro. Sorry GOG, I was in a hurry. Don't ban me or something :P

Venom: Don't worry, we don't ban people for being excited and helping us out with tests ;) It's just that this is an early version, and we still have many changes coming!
;) I'm a dramatic fellow, I know. Thanks for being so kind, Venom.
Well I have some bugs to show and tell (disk storage, games not installing, multiple downloads gone kinda wrong), but I'm having some trouble with the bug reporter.
Really don't know what to do there. :)
Any tips?!

Nice idea, unfortunately the downloads just start up again once I start Galaxy up again. Guess I'll have to wait until they give the open to remove queued items. (Hopefully not too far into the future...)

in the middle of the screen you have

click on report issue to, hmmmmmm, report an issue ;)

Otherwise, you can see all reported errors, when clicking on view issues

My view is only your reports and/or comments

You may also have to do a fresh install...

I had stuff queued (updates and such) that I didn't want to download, so I did a uninstall, used CCleaner and then deleted the stuff under ProgramData and it was gone on a new fresh install. Might not be worth it to you, but I figured I'd share what I did. This seemed to work anyway, but can't guarantee it.

Is there supposed to be anything in the rectangular boxes to the left of the name of the installed titles, in the left-hand part of the window? All I'm seeing are grey boxes.

I assume you mean the place that shows the game image? Similar to the GOG Downloader. If it remains grey, do submit a bug report. I think the images should be in ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\webcache but I may be mistaken.

Alright, I'll do that.

Please have the GOG team use a different color when replying to posts. While I understand the need to have a different color, I find the light blue is hard to read. I think a medium-dark blue would be much easier to read. Thank you
Just a note. Downloaded and installed Redneck Rampage fine, but it stays on "Loadin'" for a few minutes and I had to alt-tab out to quit the game as quitting from the menu seemed to hang. This doesn't normally happen. Not sure if it is because of Galaxy but there it is. :)
jumped in for the sign up , hope i get a invite

You arrrrrrrrrrrre welcome :) I had to search a bit in the beginning as well *blush*
Man it's taking forever to download and install all games I have on Galaxy. I want to start playtesting! This preplaytesting is bothersome...
The "play" button isn´t able to launch games that require admin rights! (like one of my test games, BloodRayne, which needs to have admin rights for compatibility on a sub-exe!)
