I'm not having any problems with the 1.2 but I heard the Client is updating to version 2.0 by itself, before that happened to me, I disable the updater exe. My question is I don't want all the NEW problems that came with Galaxy 2.0 so, Can I keep the older version?

I don't want to play multiplayer games here on GOG, and I want all my games on their own platform, I don't need my ps4 or steam games showing up in here.

You have prevented it from updating already. GOG is DRM-free, so there's no way for them to force the new client to be required for future games without breaking that promise and losing almost all their customer base. If they were to do that, there are solid legal grounds on which many users will be able to demand refunds of their entire game library from the platform, so there's no way that'll happen.

None of those things you say you dn't want are forced on you with Galaxy 2.0 anyway. Adding other platforms' games is an optional feature you can choose to use at your discretion. You can't undo it, which is a stupid design choice, but you can just not do it in the first place. While I personally am fine with using 2.0 at the moment, I will openly say it shouldn't have been forced onto users when it was, and it should be rolled back to be a "proper" beta with users only running it if they opt in to do so. I haven't used it for multiplayer (yet), and haven't connected it to any other game libraries to show non-GOG games. This has caused me no problems in using the client. If anything, the glitches in some of the cross-platform implementation have made it less stable when you do use these features than when you don't.

So yeah, until there's some announcement to the contrary, there's no reason to expect that you'll be forced to downgrade to the 2.0 beta any time soon in spite of preventing it from happening automatically.

I created a dedicated topic as a "How To" for all cases I could find all over the forum, with instructions on how to deal with them and get back / stay on Galaxy v1.2, here:
