Then they've shot themselves in the foot by using that word, because it does give the impression that it works (or will eventually work) with all games.
Perhaps they could have said "Galactic Cloud Saves" instead. :P

It should eventually work with all games, GOG just has to add support... again based on my understanding. GOG sells over a thousand games so give them time. :P

I don't care one way or another, as I don't use Galaxy. :) But I still wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breath waiting for cloud saving support to become actually universal. Did they ever even manage to fix those last few troublesome games that couldn't support Galaxy installs/updates?

No idea, I haven't encountered any game I could not install/update yet... that is with over 300 games.

Nope, last Penumbra game still can't be installed via Galaxy.

GOG: Can someone please tell us where Galaxy downloads game downloads and backups to, or do we need to trace the code in a debugger to figure that out? :)

Ugh...... I figured out where game backups get downloaded to.... <facepalm>

Nobody's going to like this....

In Galaxy 1.1, I had it configured to:

E:\GOG Games (Install games here)
F:\Games\GOG Galaxy Downloads\TEMP (temp download folder for in-progress downloads)
F:\Games\GOG Galaxy Downloads\ (completed downloads)

My game backup drive is for archival - F:
My game installation drive is for game installation and playing the games - E:


In Galaxy 1.2, it kept my configuration of "E:\GOG Games" for game installation. Thanks for that.

It blew away the configuration of where games are downloaded to and no longer uses the directories where I told it to put my downloads. There is no visible way to configure it anywhere including the Windows registry nor an INI file. So where does it put the downloads?

Scattered all over your game INSTALLATION drive, with each game's downloads going into a subfolder where the game would normally get installed to if you installed it with Galaxy, thus intermixing the concept of game "installation" with the concept of game "downloading and archival for backup purposes".

I don't know what to say. This is ridiculous and a big major let down. The new client has great new features and looks much prettier and I'm excited about that stuff, but I've been using Galaxy for downloading all my game backups for 2 years now roughly and it has worked mostly rather good, but if there is no way to configure the download directory and that is a permanent decision, then I'm very sad that it is going to be useless to me. :(

I do not have the space on E: to download all my backups to, nor do I want my backups intermixed with my installed games themselves, that makes no logical sense whatsoever.

It is IMHO like configuring your web browser, torrent client, whatever to download all of your random files online into:

C:\Windows\System32

um, no.

So there are a half dozen or more game updates today and no way to download them with Galaxy as it insists on downloading to the installation drive.

<massive sigh>

I'm really looking forward to this feature, but Galaxy still hasn't told me it needs to be updated yet.

Dragon Age: Origins crashed when closing the game while overlay is enabled.

This is actually a pretty great feature. I hope to see the list grow some more in the future.

Relax. Even though the client's off-Beta it doesn't mean that it will not receive updates. Have you already posted on the Galaxy thread in order to comment on this?
Have you already seen this? Maybe it brings some help.

Of course this feature comes right AFTER I lost my NMS save data >.<

I wonder if both DOS and older Win32 games will also receive Cloud Saves as well. It can't be too difficult, can it? I'd like to see it on those as well (especially RPGs. I already lost my progress for Septerra Core :-( )

GOG still needs universal LAN multiplayer for every game. That'd really make "GOGworks" > Steamworks
start small, get heroes 3-5 to work with it
then later get it to work with battle-realms and worms 2
then classic games like unreal, medal of honor and more FPS

seriously this alone can make GOG more attractive than steam

Even the games that don't have any multiplayer modes? What a strange idea. =P

Seriously, it's a nice dream, but it'll never happen for every multiplayer game for a variety of reasons. I agree it would be nice if, at some point, they could figure out how to do it for select games, though. :)
