Howdy.
So I bought "SiN" a couple of nights ago -- it was discounted -- and blasted through the main game. Then, I tried to launch "Wages of SiN", but couldn't find the launcher on Galaxy (I'm on version 2.0.25).
I looked in the game's installation folder, but to no avail; looking on GoG's fora, I found this (/forum/sin_gold/how_to_launch_wages_of_sin) (*), which tells you to look for an additional icon in the Start menu ("new apps"). If you don't edit the original desktop icon, and check the "Properties" of the "WoS" desktop icon, there are some different, direct parameters there to also launch the game from the icon. While either command-line-editing method will launch your game, it won't count towards "Game Time" and "Friends' Rank" (there are no achievements).
HOWEVER, you can launch "WoS" from within Galaxy just fine: look at the image attached below. I've tested this, and my "Game Time" was in fact updated (I don't have friends on GoG).
I just thought I'd let others know; I'll also update the post in the link above with a link to this post.
(* sorry about the butchered URL, but you're not allowed to post "true" links until your reputation is above 5, IIRC.)
Kind regards.
Noob alert: I should have marked the title with something like [FIXED], as I'm merely posting the solution for this; I can't find the "Solved" marker either.
