Hi, everyone!

The Galaxy team is hard at work to bring you the Client application that will let you manage your GOG.com games library more conveniently. We’d love for the initial release experience to be as smooth and streamlined as possible for everyone, but releasing an app of this scope is no easy feat.

But before we jump in and hand out the alpha Client, we’d like to set some ground rules.

1) The key word here is ‘alpha’, which means that this is not the final app and not all functionalities are present. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the core tech in the Client on a wider set of computer configurations than what we can locally test on, so only core features are included. Below I will post a detailed list of what is present and what we plan to add in future releases.

2) Alpha also means that you can encounter some unexpected issues. If you have a metered connection (a bandwidth cap or payments per bandwidth used) or you’re currently playing and can’t afford a loss of game time, this might not be for you. In other words, if you want to avoid potential problems with the alpha Client, simply wait for the final release.

3) Please, please, please refrain from posting screenshots, reviews or first impressions, both on our forums or elsewhere, as this is not the final product and many changes will still be made.

If you’ve read all of the above proceed to the signup page: http://www.gog.com/galaxy/alpha

We will be sending out invitations in batches (along with some more info on how to install the client and report bugs), so not everyone will receive one right away.

Hi everyone,

we've released the 0.7 version a couple of minutes ago, here's the changelog:

- Back/Forward navigation in the Store section
- Import Folder - it is now possible to import a game which is not compatible with the client, by clicking the game in the Library section and choosing ‘Import Folder’ from the More dropdown

- External links will now be forwarded to the system browser
- Wishlist option added to the LIBRARY menu
- Community option in the STORE menu
- Forum Replies option in the ACCOUNT menu
- Option to keep saves, when uninstalling a game
- Windows: starting the client when another instance is already running should now open the running instance (rather than displaying error message)
- Improved ‘Last Played’ information, which should now show the time of the user stopped playing the game, rather than started playing the game
- Fixed uninstallation issues on Windows
- Fixed an issue which prevented using Paypal, when buying a game
- Fixed an issue which prevented from displaying Terms and Agreements when registering new account
- Fixed some issues when installing and uninstalling DLCs

HOW TO IMPORT EXISTING GAMES INSTALLATIONS INTO GALAXY

1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the "+" button on top of the sidebar and select "scan and import folders" - it will find all compatible games within that folder and add them to the Client.

2. For remaining GOG game INSTALLATIONS
Find the game in the Library, then click the More button and select "Manage" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.

With respect to the alpha versus beta then I am a bit confused cause the picture in my GOG.com library said GOG Galaxy alpha , but when clicking to download it clearly said "GALAXY BETA" in the text above the download....

If there is an "About" in the client then I yet have to discover it , but my client presently says version 0.7.0.860 - and I will leave it to others to tell if that is alpha or beta...

That is alpha. So just waint until tomorrow then the client should update :-)
Ah , OK , thanks , so if you got the alpha then no need for applying for Beta access then I guess ;)

Yep :-)
But I guess a lot of people still applied since that was never mentioned in the announcement and only posted later :D
I'm having trouble using the Galaxy wishlist... it's just spinning when I try to add something. :(
So I guess the BETA will be here... tomorrow then.

Just like me... I'm just wondering when it will be more 'open' beta. :P But... knowing this place it's probably too much volunteeres, and there is too much work on servers. Well... we can only wait for our alphas to turn into betas. Faith shall save thee, as the theme song goes.

They already said the update will be probably tomorrow, so the wait should not be that long :D
I installed the Alpha today. After some kinks getting it to update itself, it has been working really well. I may have made an error though. I pointed it to my Fallout 2 folder to import it, and it appears to have installed completely. I had the Fallout 2 Restoration Project installed, so I assume I will have to reinstall that?

Thanks, in advance

ETA: Looks like I will just have to completely uninstall it. It is telling me that the installation failed due to a disk access problem. I'm not sure why that is, as it is in my GOG games folder, but I figured I'd have to uninstall/reinstall anyway.

toxicTom: A quick question: Is it currently possible to set the language completely to English? I don't want no German (or mishmash). :-)
Yes, we're making last adjustments on the server side for everything to be in english until a proper language management in Galaxy is ready.

Venom:
Thanks for the answer. :) Now I know for sure.
The alpha really improves a lot from v0.6 to v0.7 . Great job guys. One thing that I realize installing games using Galaxy, they are installed inside a single folder that we set on our own. Do you guys plan on providing advance installation path configuration for each game? For example specific installation folder for specific games (rather than having a general single folder). Some games I would prefer on to be stored on SSD, while others on HDD. That would require the games to be stored on multiple drives, hence need for multiple game directory.

Also providing that features to the game extra contents would be beneficial as well. I would like to save the games' extra contents in the same folder as the game ( rather putting them all in a single 'extras' folder)

BKGaming: I'm having trouble using the Galaxy wishlist... it's just spinning when I try to add something. :(
try again, should work :)
Still the same problem here: Can´t download anything. Galaxy keeps telling me, that I´m out of Hard Disk Memory - despite 1.4 TB being free in fact. Any idea ?
Beta update should start rolling out to alpha testers. You can restart your client for it to auto update immidietly, also there are new installer available on your accounts.
