Hi, everyone!

The Galaxy team is hard at work to bring you the Client application that will let you manage your GOG.com games library more conveniently. We’d love for the initial release experience to be as smooth and streamlined as possible for everyone, but releasing an app of this scope is no easy feat.

But before we jump in and hand out the alpha Client, we’d like to set some ground rules.

1) The key word here is ‘alpha’, which means that this is not the final app and not all functionalities are present. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the core tech in the Client on a wider set of computer configurations than what we can locally test on, so only core features are included. Below I will post a detailed list of what is present and what we plan to add in future releases.

2) Alpha also means that you can encounter some unexpected issues. If you have a metered connection (a bandwidth cap or payments per bandwidth used) or you’re currently playing and can’t afford a loss of game time, this might not be for you. In other words, if you want to avoid potential problems with the alpha Client, simply wait for the final release.

3) Please, please, please refrain from posting screenshots, reviews or first impressions, both on our forums or elsewhere, as this is not the final product and many changes will still be made.

If you’ve read all of the above proceed to the signup page: http://www.gog.com/galaxy/alpha

We will be sending out invitations in batches (along with some more info on how to install the client and report bugs), so not everyone will receive one right away.

Hi everyone,

we've released the 0.7 version a couple of minutes ago, here's the changelog:

- Back/Forward navigation in the Store section
- Import Folder - it is now possible to import a game which is not compatible with the client, by clicking the game in the Library section and choosing ‘Import Folder’ from the More dropdown
- Startup page option - it is now possible to decide if the client should start on LIBRARY page, STORE page, or continue previous session
- Search option - you can press enter in the search field to continue searching in the Store
- Option to Show Game Folder added to MORE menu
- New sidebar sorting options (sort by name)
- External links will now be forwarded to the system browser
- Wishlist option added to the LIBRARY menu
- Community option in the STORE menu
- Forum Replies option in the ACCOUNT menu
- Option to keep saves, when uninstalling a game
- Windows: starting the client when another instance is already running should now open the running instance (rather than displaying error message)
- Improved ‘Last Played’ information, which should now show the time of the user stopped playing the game, rather than started playing the game
- Fixed uninstallation issues on Windows
- Fixed an issue which prevented using Paypal, when buying a game
- Fixed an issue which prevented from displaying Terms and Agreements when registering new account
- Fixed some issues when installing and uninstalling DLCs
- Bugfix: client will now not allow dragging elements onto its window
- Fixed memory leaks, causing to crash the application when downloading lots of games
- Fixed a bug which was causing the client to crash on exit

HOW TO IMPORT EXISTING GAMES INSTALLATIONS INTO GALAXY

1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the "+" button on top of the sidebar and select "scan and import folders" - it will find all compatible games within that folder and add them to the Client.

2. For remaining GOG game INSTALLATIONS
Find the game in the Library, then click the More button and select "Manage" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.

TheBigLLS: Thanks for the info... For some reason though, I do remember applying to the alpha via this very page.
Maybe I am just not part of the lucky ones that was chosen to test it.
Try inputting your e-mail and see whether it accepts it. If not, then that means that you have indeed applied.

Looks like now it remembers me and the last time I did it, I probably bugged out. Thanks for the help dude.
Long time GOG user here with a buttload of games I'm happy to test. Sent in a request, looking forward to hearing back.

I admit, I'm skeptical of any sort-of client, but I've heard mostly vague things about Galaxy, I won't deny I'm interested in seeing it done right.

It's not that bad as clients go. Really so far it feels really like a multi featured downloader then say a Steam or Origin. Probably that is due to being able to use it to just download your games and not have to touch it for much else if you don't want too.
When turning on Galaxy i got a prompt saying there was an error updating the client, after that Galaxy normally starts but i have the feeling I'm missing an important update.

Which version are you on? Please try downloading the newest version from your GOG shelf and let me know if that worked.

I faced this problem on another system.

I had the 0.6.0.8...something version when it started to go wonky with the update. I re downloaded the client from my library and now it's 0.6.0.764 version. Still errors with the update.

Games work fine by the way.

try updating it manually from the command line:
galaxyupdater.exe /clientUpdatePath="C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient" /redistUpdatePath="C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists" /reportToService /updateClient /updateRedist
where galaxyupdater.exe is located at %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists
redistUpdatePath is also %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists
and clientUpdatePath is the actual install location of the client.

assuming you are under windows

fixed it for me
We had some issues with the auto update service a while ago. It should work fine now.

Well I can't update the client or connect to GOG with it since a couple days. Did my test period expire or something? I'm already addicted to getting my GOG news from Galaxy...
Anyone know how to tell the Galaxy client to use the English version of the website? The app itself is in English which is great, but the Store and Library pages are in German. I had hoped that telling GOG.com in Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer that I want it to use English might do the trick, but apparently not.

For the time, the client is using your IP to set your language. There will be an option to set the language of your choice later. Relevant post.

We're still doing some backend shenanigans today, please bear with us :) All should be well by the end of the day.

What version of the client are you running?
So I get beta access but the key expired before I got a chance to use it. Any chance in getting another key guys?
