Question for those of you with 2.0 already, or perhaps even GoG staff if it's unknown. I'm curios about games I have on Steam and future DLC. I'll use Stellaris as an example here. It's a game I own on Steam with most of the DLC. I have 3 more recent DLC to get still, but I do not want to spend another cent with Valve. So my hope is that I can get the remaining DLC from GoG, and play it once I import my Steam Library (after gaining access to 2.0). Anyone know if this is as long a shot as I think it is, or if it will be possible to do this?

I'd be happy to move the game permanently to GoG alternatively to make this possible. But AFAIK that only works if developers allow this through GoG.....

So far the only thing I am confused about is the ability to add friends over different platforms. AFAIK, it only allows me to do so over Facebook, and I want nothing to do with that. I have friends over ALL of the platforms I imported to GOG, but I can't add them regardless onto GOG 2.0. Is that a function that might be implemented later? Or is it just too much of a stretch to do that? I enjoyed looking at all the stats over the years from all my stuff, lol.

It's on the way bro, waiting for it too. :-)

After 5 months of waiting I finally got my invite yesterday.
What can I say - it was absolutely worse waiting! For me this client is definitely a game changer. It is not perfect yet, but it is so much closer to perfect then everything on the market that I'm totally satisfied with what it looks like right now!
From now on I'm going to buy all new games in GOG instead of Steam, just to support development of this awesome launcher!

GOG Galaxy 2.0 won't replace a game's respective launcher (as far as I know): only consolidate the librar[y|ies] and friends across platforms. You will not (easily) be able to use keys or DLC cross-platforms.

In this instance, I know for certain that the Steam version for all Paradox games authenticate the DLC by inspecting your activated keys (meaning you would still need a Steam key which - in any case - would pay commission to Valve).

I was more or less expecting it to not be possible. However if in anyways it is possible then I would very much like to get my DLC here even if I already own the game on another platform. Technically the only platform we are all using is PC. I guess I have to hope for Stellaris and Frost Punk, and Cuphead to have GoG connect. Or resign myself to not getting said DLC. As I am done with Valve and unwilling to make purchases through Steam moving forward. Doing my best to avoid EGS too, as I am not pro exclusives on PC. Though at this stage I would sooner use them than Steam if there are no other alternatives.

At least this is only an issue for games I already have (silver lining if there's any)

So I guess @GoG staff, requesting if in anyway possible to drag my library over permanently from Steam, or any other options that would allow me to purchase DLC from GoG if I already own the content the DLC is for. I'm sure this is far less simple to achieve than it should be, maybe even impossible. Hope dies last though so I'll hold onto hope for now.

Machine translation:

I'm going to have to guess (#3) the "orange" platform is Origin, as it sounds similar and has an orange logo...

Though I have nothing for "The steam platform is usually at least two numbers"....

I think this relates to "I would like to suggest that you can have more than one account for a platform."
Meaning, many people on Steam have (at least) two accounts. This is true for people who face censorship by Steam. To use some games uncensored or at all you have to use VPN to mask your country of origin. This is forbidden by Steam (since you can also cheat the regional prices) and may result in an account lock. So many people use multiple accounts - one main account for all "normal" game, and a VPN-account for censores/locked games (or even one per game), so you don't lose everything when the VPN account is banned.

Btw.: is not true, I have Galaxy on G without problems.

Ah that makes sense! As a Canadian I had not thought of the censor issues. Cheers for that bit of insight :)

Also as per connections not working. Good buddy of mine got his 2.0 yesterday, and he was able to integrate his libraries from Steam, Origin, Uplay, etc. 4K plus games too, and had no troubles to speak of. Well he mentioned it took a while... but hell! Over 4K games would lol. Par for the course if you will. So perhaps this is a user issue, or an ISP one given where I would assume this user lives, and the dubious nature of ISP's there.

good day

Can there be a feature added once you close a game, say in steam, That it will close the steam program aswell?

All I want for christmas is for Galaxy to stop starting other game clients. Work something out with UbiSoft qtleast because Uplay has a history of breaking the programs thats it applies its overlay to. Pitch the idea of running a lightweight shell of Uplay, Origin, or Steam, within Galaxy client. All I care about is avoiding compatibility issues between clients running at the same time or trying to force theor overlays onto a program at the same time.

So far I am loving the new galaxy client :D

I tried to install GOG GALAXY 2.0 on Windows 8.1 x64, installer just loads system libraries and immediately exits with code -1073740791 (according to ProcessMonitor)
