vertex: Just received the Galaxy Client update to version 1.1.17b and the overlay works again :-)

You might want to check the DLC option "game overlay" within the Galaxy Client's game settings tho - mine had lost the checked state after the update. Re-ticking it the "Game Overlay DLC" got downloaded, installed and can be opened again from within the game :)

vertex: That might be correct, but since I've got multiple places where DLCs are listed, I think you're confusing something here. Of course the DLCs like Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are integrated within the GOTY, but I'm talking about a different set of options and I think this special Galaxy Overlay setting should be present in the GOTY too - even if it's "called a DLC".

It's not really a DLC - it just uses of the DLC installation routines featured in the Galaxy Client.

As I said - you _might_ be correct, because you really got a different product - but this would be highly illogical. That's why I ask you again to do this:

1. open the Galaxy Client
2. select Witcher 3 GOTY
3. click on "More" button right next to the "Play" button
4. click on "Settings" from the opening drop down/context menu
5. look at the options.

Mine are called:
a) Updates
a.a) Install updates (automatically)
b) Game
b.a) Select Language (English)
b.b) DLCs Installed
b.b.a) Game Overlay « « « « « « « « « « « « HERE! I think you've got this too, but not those below this point..
b.b.b) Free DLC Program (16 DLC)
b.b.c) Hearts of Stone
b.b.d) Blood and Wine

GOTY or not, I'm _pretty sure_ that the "Game Overlay" option should be there for you too, because it is _optional_ with the GOG Galaxy Client and that is a marketing principle invented by GOG to _always_ have the GOG Client stuff as an _optional_ trait. Having GOTY does *not* imply using all features of the Galaxy Client - it just implies having all additional *content* included that has been released so far. Game Overlay != paid content.

//edit
Even tho enabled, Overlay ceased to work again. Kinda spasmodic -.-

vertex: Oh, I see. Yarp, didn't expect this at all. Mine looks like this - and when I tick/untick the checkbox for the overlay, the client would fetch some 3.9mb data package.

After installing the overlay I get multiple new files in multiple directories. Here are some examples that get added to the ./bin/x64/ directory:

- GogGalaxyHooks.dll
- GogGalaxyHooks.pdb

...along with several other d3d*, dx* and xinput* files. Does the GOTY contain the file ./bin/x64/GogGalaxyHooks.dll ?

red46: My guess is that the goty counts as a whole different game for whom the option available for the standard game haven't been made available (yet?)
