ERBlank: Alright, this I'm not sure how to handle.

There are no games currently on the list for missing cloud saving, and it could be argued that this is not an issue of the game itself, but of GOG Galaxy itself. Similarly, we treat games missing achievements separately for a similar reason.

If have time for that, you could check back the games you own and write here what among those are missing cloud saving. I don't mean to rush, take all the time you need. Meanwhile, I'm writing down System Shock 2 and Wizordum. Meanwhile, I'll ask the other people who handle the list what to do about this.

mrkgnao: Just so that silence is not taken as acceptance, I would like to point out that I object to adding anything that depends on galaxy to the spreadsheet (cloud saves, achievements, leaderboards, overlays, DRM'd in-game items, absence of 15 second loading delays, etc.), as it would quickly fill the spreadsheet up with useless information (for me and for anyone else who does not use galaxy).
Just because you like using offline installers shouldn't invalidate the priorities of the other 90% who enjoy cloud saves, achievements, leader-boards, etc. If GOG didn't provide these features, myself and thousands of other players would leave the platform. I'm not saying your concerns are invalid, I agree with making sure the sheet is streamlined and digestible. I'm of the opinion that outlining these parity shortcomings are aligned with the goals of this sheet. If we ignore and dismiss these concerns as you suggest we do, we would be accepting and normalizing this second class citizen status.

Atlo: Just out of curiosity - you're using 3 (maybe more) different launchers???

skaags_: Just Steam and Heroic since there's no Galaxy launcher for Linux
Ah, ok, I see, thx for answer.
Because you answered yes to Schmackies question I assumed you use Galaxy. My mind was in a puzzle state as to why would anyone use 3 launchers.

I have no intention of invalidating anybody's priorities. I just prefer a separate thread and spreadsheet be used for galaxy-related items, just like there is a separate thread and spreadsheet for achievements, here:

Hell, I'd call it detrimental, not just useless, to mix things that require a client or connection with those that have to do with the DRM-free, offline game itself.

I second that request. Starting to include DRM/Galaxy-gated features/content would make this whole thread useless for many of us.

If you want to expand the list of missing achievements by including games that lack Cloud Sync, you should move the conversation here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/list_of_broken_gog_achievements. That list is handled by different people.

I'd say that would be the best decision, separate issues related to Galaxy from those that have nothing to do with GOG Galaxy.

ERBlank:
Deponia confirmed. When one opens the game, one is presented with two rotating carousels of flags, one for audio, one for text. Neither carousel has flags corresponding to Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean or Arabic.

ERBlank: It's not because I don't trust anyone in here. It's just so that I have screenshots to send to GOG support when I'll write the report. I did the same when I sent the previous report.

On the Skyrim discussion a user claimed that, when they reported that the game was affected by a memory leak, GOG support requested them to upload a video record.
I get it. Do you think you'll be successful with this? Support is so overwhelmed...

ERBlank:
Elven Legacy confirmed. The game has only an English installer, and the English version has no language selection option that I can find.

I'd find it really weird if GOG support would request evidence of something about the games they sell that's so easily verifiable, they just have to install the game and check. Now if the issue is that something that doesn't exist in the GOG version does exist in another store's version and they'd request evidence of that, so screenshots of video from that other store's version of the game, that I could understand.

Cavalary: ...
At least for the Skyrim - there is a chance that they can't reproduce it.
For example - I experienced zero problems with the base game (as I told in another thread - don't have anniversary upgrade so I can't check with it) on my rig.
No memory leaks. Everything works just fine.

Maybe. Just maybe. Everything is good on their side too...

Agreed in this case. I feel like at that point you should start marking the overlay not working etc. and it's just going to be a lot of extra info for no real benefit.

It’s a classic move when you want a customer to give up on a support request. They don’t care about the actual video or screenshot, they only want an easy way to close the support request without having to do anything about it.

Here I’ve even seen them use straight up lies do dismiss support requests, not caring in the slightest that these could trivially be identified as lies (like pretending they could not reproduce a problem that can technically not be avoided due to missing files in the GOG build of the game).
Which version we talk about? There are 2 GOG builds.

Thats what they say:
https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/1knkm9o/special_edition_gog_memory_leak_ram_not_gpu_any/

Using Vulkan as API could fix it but i guess Skyrim is only using DX, so have to use a API converter (usually used on Linux, guess it may work for Windows too).
