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.

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.

zeffyr: How about game's updates? Can I try updating again after failure of this process?

Fallen_Zen: If any update fails it should resume eventually automatically. What was the problem in your case?
It's OK now, after restarting the client it resumed and the update applied correcly. Thanks for the info :)
Anyone else having a problem with Wasteland 2 not appearing in their Galaxy Client library? Wasteland 1 and all of my other games are there but Wasteland 2 is nowhere to be found, even after i reset the client a few times.

Was it there before? If not it just isn't supported yet by the client. Just have some patience. ;)

it wasn't there before, so it looks like it is a support issue. thanks for the heads up!
Is there a list of known bugs?
And if I find a bug how should I report it? the post mentioned an internal reporting system but I can't find anything like that.

You can check the internal Mantis at http://mantis.gog.com . There you can check the previous reports, comment on them or file a new issue. :)

Hi Everyone,

we've just released an update to the Galaxy client, v.0.5 with the following changes:
* Game News - game views will now display news section for each game
* Game EULAs - client will now ask to accept EULA prior to installation
* Fixed crash when downloading large extras
* Fixed occasional crash when downloading games
* Game installation status should now show the proper status (rather than INITIALIZING all the time)
* Removing downloading queue items will now decrement overall download size
* Library path should not read the default installer setting
* Autoupdate process improvements
* Significant performance increase on OS X

The update is for now available only via the auto update mechanism, so just restart your client and it should update to the new version.

We will post updated installers later on. We will also sent out next batch of invites later today, so there is still time to sign up!

Thank you for the update!

Left panel shows all installed games with note Not yet played now. Not a big deal though, changing after starting a game.
Some news (latest Moto Racer, Little Big Adventure..) redirects to 404 and it seems like Backspace key doesn't work when trying to get back to game news page.

btw, Fallout news are 6 years old ; )

Will there be an option to install without a desktop icon? If not, please make this a planned feature, it's one of the reasons I wanted Galaxy in the first place.
1st of all I want to say the client looks pretty awesome so far.

I have a few client ideas. Im sure you guys are working on some of these.

Client suggestions:
- Pausing downloads or switching between games that are being downloaded.
- A friends list would be cool.
- Wishlist managment in the client.
- The ability to change our Avatar / profile info from the client itself.
- Maybe a profile page with riecently played, riecently purchased games would be awesome.

Game Page Suggestion:
- Show Star Rating for the game.
- Show friends who also own the game.
- Show user reviews for the game.

Thank you.
First time poster (and just invited to the alpha - so thanks for that!)

Thought I'd test a download to poke around in the client - but when I do my client keeps "losing" connection to GoG and saying my internet has cut, which it hasn't.

Is anyone else having the same sorts of problems?

Galaxy after update worked great for about two hours, only now keeps losing connection. I think it's temporary.

Might be. Nothing to worry about since I can still run already installed games ; ) Also client reconnect itself.
