Thanks for the quick fix o7

Sorry that didn't work for me. I was not given the option to install a hotfix. I have now uninstalled GOG Galaxy, rebooted my machine, installed GOG Galaxy and installed my favourite game (Pharaoh + Cleopatra).
The game will not run. I press Play, the button greys out for maybe 10 seconds, nothing happens, the Play button becomes active again.

What steps do I need to take to run my game?
Is there a different thread where I need to take my issue?

Thank you very much.

Ok, I was just confirming if the hotfix would have restored the games, even with the deleted file. Doesn't sound like it does.

That's ok. I really didn't have a lot of games installed, anyways. And really only currently playing one game at the moment.

Thanks.

Just a heads-up:

so I did the "delete galaxy-2.0.db" workaround, and then few hours later GoG prompted me to update with the hotfix. I did, but then one of the games tried to update, but said "update error: the game files are corrupted" and then it tried redownloading the update which lead again to the same error and so on, in a constant loop.

Fortunately I had the backup of my the .db file I deleted - I put it back in and now this fixed it.

Just dropping in to say I also fixed this by just uninstalling GOG Galaxy and then redownloading and installing it. The only thing I had to do was scan for installed games so they'd show up as installed in my library. No need to do a bunch of crazy tech stuff you can't pronounce...

I just did this method and it worked perfectly.

I am having this problem with "Europa Universalis - Rome Gold". "has no depot and signature. Cannot move and verify." Then it proceeds to move from game library download folder to the Dependencies-Temp folder, and sits there. I have 676 titles, with this one being the only failed one. It had downloaded and verified a few weeks ago. Then GOG Galaxy updated, and it kept crashing on start, so I had to force an uninstall, wipe registry manually, clear all the disk files except game download folder, reinstall GOG Galaxy, rescan all titles, which took days and days, as I left it unattended, and there were always titles with dependencies needing a manual click.

P.S. This problem BEGAN with the 2.0.49 version.

While I avoided logging in before the new update and hotfix, I used this method to update just in case, and avoided the database bug entirely. Much thanks for the hotfix.
