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
- Fixed an issue, which sometimes caused the client to duplicate the news on game view

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.

It may not be stuck. Depending on a game's installation footprint, the 'initialization' stage can take a remarkably long time.

The false positive from Avast seems to have gone away. It may be some bit of Wing Commander Prophecy (which I was downloading at the time and was approximately 25% through) looked like a virus to Avast. Each time I got the false positive, it killed the download. Disabling Avast's shields and letting the game download a few tenths of a percentage point then reraising them seems to have done the trick to get it downloaded.

While it hasn't been giving me alerts, I seem to be having a similar issue with Privateer 2: The Darkening, which got to 9.4% then repeatedly shutting the download down. A similar trick worked to get it past that.

EDIT: It finished the download just fine. It seems just a certain part of both downloads has an issue with Avast.

We'll investigate this, thank you.

l left Theme Park for approximately 8 hours and Return To Krondor from 8.30am to 6.45pm. Theme Park stuck at 99.7% and Krondor was at 100% These games aren't large enough to take THAT long to install.

Can somebody at GOG please check my case - 001391? l raised it on 31st March but apart from it being assigned,I've heard nothing. l commented on Case 001436 (raised on 9th April), to record that it appeared to be the same issue as mine and I've now received email updates telling me that there have been requests from admin (MC, who is also assigned my case) for further info - not from me though; from the OP!

Since this seems to be the onliest thread with regular visits of gog members, perhaps one of you could either answer to the Unbundling thread or at least get someone to officially respond.

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/important_notice_unbundling_games/post1461

In addition, any information regarding the question if the unbundling will ever continue or finish would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It seems that GOG staff can't see posts containing the "Unbundling" word.. XD

If you didn't want it I can't even imagine why you applied for it in the first place.

Fair enough. ;P
I hope they remove it from the library instead of leaving an empty spot and not fixing it.

Will be GOG Galaxy Client for Linux? Thanks

sorry, but what is IDM?

Could you tell us what it was about Galaxy you did not like. It may help. You never know.

HeDanny: what is IDM?
My guess would be Internet Download Manager.
