bratmaxe: At least for me, this is caused by having disabled my public profile in the privacy settings. As soon as I enable it back on (with all subsections still set to private) activity is displayed correctly. I hope that this is a bug and not intended by GOG.
sunnydoggy: I don't understand your solution. What do you mean by "all subsections still set to private"?
Is this a setting in the GOG Galaxy app or on the website? Because the app doesn't actually have any privacy settings that I can see.
So I looked for what you are talking about in the website. The closest I could find was settings->privacy, but I cannot find the "private" option in privacy settings for any of the subsections.
Speaking of subsections, are you referring to each of the sections underneath "Profile, Friends, and Chat"? Or does that include under "Wishlist"?
Also what do you mean by "disabled my public profile"? There is a check box for "Profile Enabled" and also "Visibility". Is that correct? Should I do anything to visibility?
Sorry for all the questions. I really appreciate any help!
Not quite a solution, because I can't exactly give it to you step-by-step, but after going to the Privacy & Settings line (GOG website, menu bar, username, scroll down menu) and checking and unchecking the things as suggested, it still did NOT work for me.
THEN I figured I would DL & reinstall the GoG for Windows. When I tried to install it, it said I still had it running, and I should close it. Strange. So, I looked in Task Manager and terminated an instance of what was indeed running. After that the installation continued and immediately terminated with a "you are already up to date" (sort of) message. BUT now I CAN install and update all the games in the GOG for Win!
I have no clue why this worked for me, but it did.
