wizisi2k: Actually, you don't. First game I played I went online using the steam overlay launching the game. Norton prompted to allow AV to block the game (I set to allow always). Recognized my username online. Right now I am connected to online services while not playing through galaxy

robmilliken: I did not install this game with Galaxy and yet I am playing the game. I brought up Galaxy and it says the game is not installed (though it is outside of Galaxy). I am also still online and connected in the game itself when I have Galaxy and the game running (Galaxy MUST run in the background).

So - how to have another game and user on the same account? Install again without Galaxy to a different directory (if on the same computer). Create a GOG account separately (if you haven't already). Run game and it'll start fresh, then run Galaxy as that user (you may have to log out and log in as the other user if on the same computer) and it'll run as that user. Problem solved. No DRM upset and you and your significant other can play to your hearts content. :)
actually, from what I see it's not that simple to start fresh. The save data is in appdata/roaming/hello games. BACKUP that folder and you got your save. Delete that folder for your SO to start fresh. Copy folder out and copy yours back in when you WANT to continue. I DO NOT KNOW if it will show their discoveries as you-I have no clue how it got my username. I did not mention that I installed using the download from the website and NOT galaxy. WCS is your SO shows up as traveler and cannot discover anything for money. First thing I think people are going to mod in is multiple saves and save anywhere.

CosmicVoyagerX: I continuously have this message. Pressing X does not do anything. I cannot upload discoveries.

Gersen: Strange, I play in offline mode (network card disabled) and I can "upload" the discoveries and get the units for them
Same thing here: "not connected to servers", and my uploads (including the naming feature) give me cash.

So, why would you have access to a server in a single player game? Makes no sense at all.
And, on top of it all using Galaxy, the one program from GOG that had been buggy, is buggy, probably will remain buggy - why?
Quite frankly: if I would not get cash for "uploading" stuff, I would not do it at all!
