Some miniatures in the library are broken. Only half of the image is shown. I deleted the GOG Galaxy cache so they would download again, but the problem persists.
I want to say that Galaxy (version 2.0) is complete garbage, almost none of the features work properly. Besides that Galaxy is so 'stuttery' that you cannot even see what games you have. gog Galaxy is a huge disappointment in comparison to the Steam software. Besides that Epic Games Launcher is also evolving and I can definitely see that developers made huge progress in the optimization of PC resource usage.
Total War: Rome Remastered didn't show up on Recent or Installed tab. I've been playing it on Steam. The integration is active. It automatically added Rome: Total War I just installed through Steam today. I tried to manually add it but it doesn't show up in the search. It seems there is a game database the Galaxy is using but it doesn't have Total War: Rome Remastered.

Also I do not understand why the #$ck Galaxy 2 (aka beta-cr@p) gives user only part of the offical integration of other game Stores. When will be the Steam official integration released (if it will be integrated at all)?

I was in these forums four years ago helping others get Galaxy 1.0 re-installed because GOG was forcing people to use 2.0 and many didn't want it because it was bug-ridden and had insecure 3rd party plugins which often didn't even work. Fast forward four years and nothing has changed?! Just give us a piece of software that downloads what we've purchased and gets game updates when they're released. Why is this so difficult?
The state of this 2.0 version of Galaxy is so atrociously bad that I wonder if this is intentional sabotage.

Download speeds are still calculated wrong (and thus, download time)
To see what DLC you even own ye have to go through 4 menus
Internal store "news" items go offsite (even entirely outside of GoG.COM) thus normally triggering all red flags
Internal "store" is even downright cynical given that paypal uses 2FA and thus can not be used securely inside this store window (store yokes you out of it at every corner but nor for this, so I can't even buy anything from within Galaxy) as I don't know my passkey without an app that manages it securely......
Downloading offline files from within Galaxy is somehow broken still, has been since 2019 no less.
The entire library view is INSANELY clunky - the fact Steam with a UI from 2008 does it better is just mindblowing.

This is just what bothered me within a single day of downloading CP77 again
A download that claims my internet speed is 5.5x faster than it actually is, by the way.

Here a good example of an insane math fail

In case that is not obvious, it would take exactly twice as long as it shows with that speed, and that ISN'T EVEN MY SPEED.

Are you downloading the installers through Galaxy or are you installing through Galaxy?
I'm only downloading the installers, never using Galaxy to install and have never encountered this issue I think.
But I've had this issue on Steam. It happens because Steam atleast for some reason is taking the speed of the installation into count. I guess Galaxy also does this.
Warhammer Rogue Trader achievements are broken.

The summary page doesn't show his picture and the progress page doesn't show anything.

I was installing the game via Galaxy indeed.... either way the time was wrong since it was longer than it said, and not 5 hours, but 15 | 10 of which it said "5 hours remaining" ;P

This shouldn't be an issue on a NVMe to begin with. My internet speed is always going to be the limiting factor and steam is dead on accurate for me. Can literally put up an alarm and go do something else and come back with it being 30s or less to completion.

Either way, after 5 years of beta I expect stuff to just work, but I only found less stuff working than when I first tried it....
Why does number of games show that I own when I click on gog.com?
ever since the last update this crash occurs eveytime i open gog galaxy but the launcher runs fine it just the galaxy helper.exe that seems to have issues. this didn't occur before the last update. here is the eventviewer log. it's not game breaking just annoying to have a new crash dump file when everything seems to run fine.

When will you guys finally start to fix your useless forever beta application, the most important of the functions does not work anyway, such as integrations with steam or ubisoft connect, and when it comes to support your games, it's not the best either, just read this thread or in general the entire gog galaxy forum, it's already an application from epic, which leads the cancer of the industry works better and more efficiently than your invention, maybe just, instead of bragging about how it's your application which is supposed to connect all the others, first start to fix its basic function

New client but still shit download speeds, why are you not focussed on this as it's your main flaw. Why is it i get 250mbps download speed on steam and wifi speed tests yet on your game app i get 18mbps max speed
How do I add Nintendo Switch to the "OS & Consoles" category?
