KTCDK: I have now updated my game to version 1.08, but unfortunately the problems with GOG Galaxy integration has only gotten worse. Now the game freezes on exit and it still overwrites my achievements, even though I've tried turning off all Auto-Updates, Cloud saves and In-game overlay in the settings for the game in GOG Galaxy, and even tried turning off the global toggles (Auto-update games, Cloud saves, Achievements, Game time tracking and Overlay).
I would expect GalaxyCommunication.exe to leave the game alone with these settings, but the only way to avoid having my stats and achievements destroyed is disabling the GalaxyCommunication service and run the game directly from the YookaLaylee64.exe file. I accidentally ran the game from the shortcut, which opens GOG Galaxy, but then the service is reenabled by GOG Galaxy and the problem is back.
Anyway, this is the only way for me to enjoy the game properly at this point to avoid crashes and lost progress, and I am sure I am not alone, so I hope you guys can use my workaround for these problems:
1) Exit from GOG Galaxy completely by clicking the "gog com" logo and select "Exit".
2) Go to the start menu and select the Run or search input field.
3) Type "services.msc" and press enter.
4) Locate "GalaxyCommunication" on the list of services and double click it.
5) Set "Startup type" to "Disabled" and click "OK".
6) Run the game directly from YookaLaylee64.exe in the game installation directory if you installed through GOG Galaxy, or just run the game from the shortcut if you installed it manually.

Could I ask you to report these Galaxy/Galaxy implementation bugs to our Mantis bugtracker? http://mantis.gog.com
It will help to have this info there so that our Galaxy developers can see it :)
