I kinda get irked by the annoying placements of the additional
word "free" at the end of the pricings,
Anyone else on this matter ?

I tried uploading a small picture on this, but the upload button
goes "wrong format" each time..

(I tried both .PNG and .JPG formats.)

Solved the 'bug'
When other people have the same problem, instead
use full path and name in the selection box, instead of clicking on the name.

C:\Mah documents\Annoy.png"

It doesn't show free on my end. Not yesterday either. I've used both linux and win and in my experience this forum doesn't like png files, so I usually gimp them to jpg. Also max size is 500kB - so by saving a file in png vs jpg you end up with a much bigger file. Without being too sure, that sounds more like a client issue.

Depends on the number of colors. you can also use optipng, although convert -colors 64 can also lower the size of the png, depends on how grainy it gets, i need to check if there's a 'nearest color' match option which would do a bit better.

Though for an image that size, you shouldn't have had issues uploading it.

this has been the case for me using palemoon since they updated the store design.

I get the same. see attached.

Ever since the website redesign. Count down timers are also broken.

I even had to use a workaround to post this image.

I am really unhappy with the new website design. A great deal of stuff is simply broken and navigation is a total mess.

I am using latest Palemoon.

One other thing I forgot to mention, all these 'free' banners and whenever gog puts a free game up for grabs, clicking the link doesn't work.

At least I can now log in without scrolling to the bottom of the page.

That's the most likely problem. In short, while Firefox went over to using the another engine, palemoon continued on its own with a fork of Mozillas gecko, called goanna. As others have pointed out here on the forum using an "old" browser will show the site as messed up, and Palemoon are considered to be relatively old compared to Firefox, Opera and Chrome.

I don't know the exact difference between these engines as it is today, I'm not a webdev. I do know it's pretty fragmented and not an ideal state for us users but that's the reality...

Try using latest Firefox, Opera or Chrome.

Its pretty much as sanscript says. Since the 10th GOG decided Palemoon and older versions of Firefox as well as Internet Explorer are too old to support, and so pretty much dropped them.

Its one of the more hated issues with the new site, and one that has been very debated here in the forums.

It's as sanscript says the only thing you can do is use a newer version of Firefox, or Chrome or if you are on Windows 10 then Microsoft Edge.

Hi Pond86

thanks for your response.

I have read these criticisms before, I believe it is due to Gog relying on Chrome functionality only.

Unfortunately, I will not be changing the browser of my choice.

I will drop Palemoon an enquiry to to see what they have to say.

Thanks for your help.

I know just enough to be dangerous, so I apologize if I give some misinformation.

This is the offending HTML:


<span ng-show="tile.isFreeVisible && !tile.isGaaS" class="product-tile__price-discounted ng-hide">Free
</span>

looks like they all say "Free" and then the free is made invisible through AngularJS.

According to AngularJS:

What browsers does AngularJS work with?
We run our extensive test suite against the following browsers: the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Safari for iOS, as well as Internet Explorer versions 9-11. See Internet Explorer Compatibility for more details on supporting legacy IE browsers.

If a browser is untested, it doesn't mean it won't work. You can also expect browsers to work that share a large part of their codebase with a browser we test, such as Opera 15 or newer (uses the Blink engine), or the various Firefox derivatives.

That might be the offending line, but it doesnt change the fact that GOG's site has issues under Palemoon, older Firefox versions and IE.

Its something that as been greatly discussed here, and something that GOG have said will not change.

Though i'm hoping that they might actually listen to their userbase for once and fix that when they change the main site again.

Hi all

I have submitted the info to Palemoon along with a link to this thread.

I will let you know what they come back with.

Thanks again for your help.

is maybe the offender. In ECMAScript 6 this is probably a property:

(TypeScript notation:)

public get isFreeVisible() : boolean {
return // code here
}

this will return the result of the code in modern browsers, but older browser will interpret is as function, and since a function is "true" (as in not undefined, null, false, 0, empty string...) it always returns true.

hadnt actually thought of that. i know with some other issues on various sites theyev tried to come up with a fix / contact the site owners and see what can be worked out (Slack for instance).

Some screenshot programs name the files, for example, "Picture.JPG" and GoG doesn`t like the JPG in capitals. Change the name to "Picture.jpg" and it will work.
