Yes! Fucking finally!

Do a reload @

if you don't see the CD special editions in your account when you already have the base games.

Exactly. I stopped using that feature due to my deep suspicion nobody at GoG gives the slightest of shits about it.

You don't think it might be because rereleasing old PC games, where issues of licensing, ownership, and compatibility abound, might not be as straight forward as seeing that your customers want a specific game?

Rumors has it that there is a "very big thing" coming on GOG next tuesday. If you want some sources : Judas is hyping the hell out of it since a month now and there is this :

GOG twitchers seems to be in the knowing

No fucking clues at what that could be, but thought that was worth to share.

Maybe but it's done, I chose to be butthurt.

Looks like I fell for the hype :

There is a QA and a stream for The witcher 3 the same day, but seriously...

 

[pippin]

Did you expected something else? TW3 is like 2 or 3 weeks away, it was quite obvious they'd do that.

 

[LESS T_T]

Looks like GOG recently sent Galaxy alpha keys to quite a few applicants including me.

 

[Pablo1989]

I have a bad feeling about this....nah just kidding more cool games, more fun....but less of cash

 

[stony3k]

I got the key as well. Looks like a very simple version of the Steam client, if it can auto patch games, that's all I want

 

[cw8]

I got the alpha key as well only yesterday despite being a regular poster since 2009. Well under settings, there's
Game Auto-Updating
Achievements
Game Time Tracking
Friends and Chat
Notifications
all greyed-out so I assume they're all coming soon?

 

[grudgebringer]

List of friends combining with game time tracking would be enough for me to start using gog again.

Can someone make a screenshot of the interface layout?

upd. Nevermind, already found it. Looks neat. I like that currently it is simple and clean. Wish it stay that way and out of bloat with features.

 

[pippin]

GoG has an Activision sale as well. This one has more than one good game, obviously. http://af.gog.com/promo/weekend_promo_activision_activate_01052015?as=1649904300

 

[stony3k]

I see a number of other problems with the client as of now. For instance, it doesn't recognize already installed games (at least most of them).

You can import them one at a time.

Go to more->manage->import folder

I'm trying out the scan and import feature right now.

 

[pippin]

I have the Fallouts+WL1 and 2 installed and it only detected wl2. Tried to add the folders one by one but it says "did not find games to import".
I thought it had to do with games you got for free but I bought the Wasteland series, so it can't be that.

 

[tuluse]

Ok, after importing maybe half my installed games, I did the scan and import and the only game it found was the Witcher Adventure game I haven't deleted yet for some reason.

Looks like it's 1 by 1 to get anything done.

I've had no problem importing individual games.

 

[stony3k]

I tried the scan and import, and it only detected PoE, and when I tried to play it from within the client, it gave some errors. Well, they did say it was "alpha"

 

[Turjan]

I have been using the alpha for a few months now, and yes, the import feature still makes a big mess out of everything. Look for duplicated registry entries.

Edit: Incidentally, it claims my PoE installation is an "unknown game version".
The answer to this is not easy, either, as they insist on using their own version number scheme.

Game time tracker works! Fuck yeah!

 

[J_C]

Game time tracker works! Fuck yeah!

Does it work for every game or just a few?

I don't know, but it works for Cannon Fodder and Wizardry 6, and I doubt that someone at GOG was thinking "Let's put this feature to test on... let's say... cannon fodder and wiz6 only"

Also, updating takes fucking ages. It takes as much time as downloading the game from scratch and installing it. I hope that's not what the galaxy client is doing...

Edit: galaxy just downloaded a 2GB "patch" for Dragonfall

 

[tuluse]

How do you get the client to update?

Edit: nvm I see it's tracking even though the option is greyed out.

 

[Bruticis]

The client is terrible. What exactly is the point of this thing at this stage?

 

[tuluse]

So some people wanted pictures I think.
