Windows 10 is coming today!

With so many of us excited to jump on board the next big thing for Windows gaming, we want to share with you the latest update on game compatibility today, and our expectations for the future.

Overall, the entire process went better than expected. We're very happy with that fact, but we're still only getting started.

Today, roughly 85% of our library is labeled as compatible with Windows 10. These games were fully playable with no significant performance or graphical issues during our testing process and are ready to go right now. You can filter through Windows 10 games in our catalog, and the compatibility will be labeled on every game card.

Moving forward, we plan to continue our work to bring as many of the remaining games as possible over to the new OS. As new updates and features are released, we hope to see improved backward compatibility and new tools to work with, but it's always possible for new issues to come up along the way. If you do suspect that a game should not be labeled Windows 10 compatible, we'll appreciate your help in getting to the bottom of things, but you can always rely on your 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

The most important thing to stress is that Windows 10 is a brand new operating system, and that means we're still in the middle of a transition period. The coming weeks or months may be rocky as the first wave of patches hits the OS, so we'll constantly monitor the situation to quickly put out any fires.







Help us improve our Windows 10 compatibility.
Windows 10 is still in its early days, and there's a myriad of hardware and software combinations out there - some of them potentially explosive. We want to give you the option to report any problems you have with Windows 10 and GOG.com games, and help us make the experience best for everyone. If you'd like to help us out, you can do so through our public Mantis bug tracker:

--Use your GOG.com credentials to log in.
--Make sure that you are browsing issues the Windows 10 Game Compatibility Issues project, as opposed to the GOG Galaxy Client project.
--You can change your project through the drop-down menu in the upper-right hand corner of the page.
--You can access the Report Issue section from the upper menu if you are redirected to the home page.
--Inside, you'll find more detailed instructions on how to help us out and submit your bug.







We've done our best to bring GOG.com to Windows 10 and we're happy with the results so far, but if you're having problems with a game that should be compatible - contact us! Every bit of info helps us and your 30 Day Money Back Guarantee is there if we can't help you in turn.

Cavalary: Irrelevant, as it still doesn't allow you to pick what to install and possibly hide something for good, and only works for WiFi.

BKGaming: It's far for irrelevant, if you just want to stop auto updates or be able to stop them until you can be sure there are no issues... this will allow you to do that. All depends are what your really looking for. As far as picking or blocking updates, MS gives you a tool for some updates:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/07/27/microsoft-tool-lets-windows-10-users-block-unwanted-updates
If your connection's not wireless, it is irrelevant. And what's "some"? Plus that, what I understand from there is that they will be installed first, and then you'll have to uninstall and block them with that. Nope.
And what I'm looking for is what I had, check only, do nothing else until and unless I tell it to, and then allow me to see what each update is about, look up more info if I think it necessary, then decide whether to install right away, leave it there for later or hide it and never be bothered with it again (unless I choose to unhide it, that is).

No 'these games are ready for Windows 10' sale?
Disappointed!

i be sticking to old win7 til 2020 then i will see again , maybe mickeysoft has come to his senses, finally starts to take advantage of that large nose and ears and use it to listen what kind of os we (the customers) want.

He likes to have one size fits all, but mickeysoft better be off with a coorporate version for bussiness only, one version for heavy gamers (no casualgames but real ones like cod and the likes, games that show what a pc can do)

And a 'casual' version)for less heavy games) more like win7 that can runs up to a decent frame like win7 can.

For now i have a sloop lying under the boot, with supllies to last a good 5 years, i will jump overboard (not onboard)the ms10 ship, and set sail to a deserted win7 island group.


"yo ho ho ho, no windows 10 for me ..."
"i will just be fine, on that island of mine , with windows 7 for the rest of the time ...."
"and when time has come, just maybe i sail to the sun, and get me a ton
of windows almighty 10 for fun ..."

Then it is irrelevant for you... to someone else this might be all they are looking for. Most people use WiFi today, but I agree the option should also be available for Ethernet. Most people are also fine with updates assuming the updates don't cause issues. This will allow you to wait that out to make sure while everyone else plays the guinea pig, allowing you to update when you feel like it.

There are also other benefits, like not having Windows 10 downloading large updates while your streaming a Netflix movie, or doing something else that is bandwidth intensive.

Why do we want anything Steam related on gog.com? Why even bother with SteamOS? SteamOS is dead on arrival. You have Linux which SteamOS is based off of anyways.

I switched to gog.com in 2011 to get away from Steam.

BillyMaysFan59: Also I bet Impaler is gonna pass on the upgrade since he already owns it on Steam.
+1 :)

Had to install a bunch of updates this morning to get the "Get Windows 10" tray icon to finally appear. Unfortunately I also installed an AMD Graphics update alongside those, and it borked Catalyst. The lesson once again is "no indiscriminate updating".

Hope that get win 10 is gone. I sooner stick with 7 for now.

popperik: Is this today's DRM-free release?

IAmSinistar: If so, where's the Linux version?
Considering the lack of Linux releases lately, I wonder if attention was diverted from Linux support to Windows 10 support.

Windows 10 will not be on any computer I own, but Linux is on four. Windows 7 is on one. Windows 8 is on the HTPC, but that is only because it's an inherited PC from HP that supports 8, and does not have drivers for Windows 7. I figure since I only use it to stream Netflix and watch TV, it's fine on 8.

While I doubt SteamOS will ever get official support on GOG... dead on arrival? So is that why the early pre-orders of Steam Machines sold out? They might not ever get market share, but they will surely get a decent size and look how fast support for Linux has done a U-turn because of Steam.

You also act like using Linux is a bad thing.... which is far from the truth. There is a reason I dual boot.

It's amazing how so many companies (GOG included) are so eager to do free marketing for Microsoft Corp. Seriously... the amount of free advertising Microsoft gets for their new OS releases is crazy, and I'm sure no one from MS is complaining (quite the opposite).

Then again, maybe GOG does get paid by Microsoft, but I don't know that.

J_Darnley: Stupid "libraries" view instead of My Computer.
avatar
Cavalary: Was a major concern of mine way back in the day too, but in practice it never got in the way. Don't use them, don't put anything in them, don't have anything set to open them directly, My Computer's My Computer as it always was, doesn't open in libraries.
I used to avoid them like the plague, but it turns out that they can be insanely helpful. If you have an assortment of SOMETHING spread out across your disk, you can bring all these folders together by putting them in a (custom) library. Afterwards you will have easy access to them due to how easily they are accessible in the Explorer. Sometimes this can truly be a blessing...

We don't even know the number of Steam Machines for early pre-orders sold.

We do not know if it's 5,000 units sold or 50,000 units sold.

Doesn't matter, shows there is a demand. That's what is important.

We will see in a 6 months or 1 year if there will still be demand for Steam Machines.
