[EDIT: September 9th, 2pm GMT]

Update 1.1 to the GOG Galaxy beta is now available for everyone! Enjoy the new features and remember to submit your feedback in the dedicated GOG Galaxy Beta forum thread and report any bugs at mantis.gog.com.


Rollback, friend search, pausing downloads, and more in the biggest update yet.

Have you tried the GOG Galaxy beta yet? This is an awesome chance to jump on board. Our DRM-free online gaming platform has already been tested by so many of you we can barely count, and today we're ready to roll out the first major patch with new features and plenty of quality of life optimizations.

Update 1.1 to the GOG Galaxy beta will bring the anticipated Rollback feature, allowing you to restore your game to prior states with just a single click. Game updates are now not only optional, but also reversible.

The weeks following our GOG Galaxy-powered release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt were a chance for the team to collect feedback and to work on perfecting the Client while addressing many of your top feature requests. The newest 1.1 update includes much-requested improvements to the friend system (making it easier to find and invite friends), pausing & resuming downloads, extended pre-installation options with more ways to configure your games, and an improved app UI and navigation. The entire client will now be more resource-friendly while also becoming faster.

The 1.1 update is available today for everyone enrolled to receive preview updates through GOG Galaxy, but it will also be rolling out very soon to the entire userbase. Those of you eager to test out the announced improvements today, can simply navigate to your GOG Galaxy settings screen and select the option to “Receive preview updates”.

To download the client and read about what’s new and improved in update 1.1, visit [url=http://www.gog.com/galaxy]www.gog.com/galaxy[/url]. Make sure to subscribe to the preview updates to try them out yourself, and as always, you can submit your problems and find new solutions on the dedicated GOG Galaxy Beta forum thread.

I, for one, would be happy if GOG just brought back the tarballs. What's the point of this new Linux pseudo-installer?

"GOG Galaxy beta is now available for everyone!"

Well, not quite... not for Linux paying users...

It is an installer, it can be run on non-debian based distros. It looks better. It is simpler to use for new Linux users.
It looks more professional. Every installation should now handle the same, which wasn't the case before.

Why do you call it a pseudo-installer?
If you don't like it you can "unzip" it btw.

It seems they have already been working on an overlay.

Noice, updating now!
Edit 1 : Oh, in the future, I didn't look carefully.

So are tarballs.

It still looks worse than WIndows installer. It doesn't "look professional" compared to that.

I don't get it. You extract the tarball on any distro in exactly the same way. Then you just double-click on start.sh.

The installation process of a tarball is not as straight-forward as of the new ones

In my opinion, it looks far better than the Windows installer and more professional because it's slick and Windows' looks like spam advertising.

But, even if you don't agree. So what? It looks better than a tarball.

mazayus: Then you just double-click on start.sh.
No, that's just how you start it.
If you want to install it you have to execute it with the comment -i (in a Terminal for example)

Btw, not every game had a tarball and not every tarball was set up the same.
Now, every Linux game should come with a setup file that works the same.

Some games didn't have a tarball though... of course, others didn't have a deb package, so it probably evens out.

The Windows and OS X versions are very much available to us GNU/Linux users as well, the matter that they're pretty much unusable is a different matter entirely :-P

Although I still prefer tarballs, I agree with you on this point. I guess anything is better than deb-packages for me (even though I use Debian). I hate it when third-party software requires root to install.

There are a few things I still don't understand.
Why did you call the new installers "pseudo-installers".
Why do you even bother demanding the return of tarballs if you couldn't give a single reason why they are better than Mojosetup?
And why do you still prefer tarballs after I've given you numerous (and not even all) reasons why they are a worse choice?

Have you ever tried to download Galaxy on Linux by clicking at the advertisement banner? It's only there to taunt Linux users.

Unless I can catalogize and start any game with the client, I am no longer interested. Because I am searching for an universal game starter.

Wake me up, after you integrated this features. Until then, I use the steam client to start GOG, ORIGIN, UPLAY and all other games, because it's the best you can use at this point.

As a user of over 700 games I will not use your client, because I am unable to even FIND my games in time. Even sorting your Game launchers in directories on the desktop is far better than using your simplistic program. And that should give you some reason to think about the bad user experience of your client.

Did you even look at other similar clients, before writing this one?

And btw, this client needs ages to start up. It doubled the time of my windows startup!

And I really don't need another one.
