Hey,

we have released Galaxy version 1.2.16.

It contains native support for diff patches (with few fixes) and MacOS Overlay, which were previously on Beta channel.

Unfortunately it does not include FPS counter for Windows Overlay (Which stays on beta channel), as it contains a rather annoying bug, which in certain situations creates double mouse cursor while playing a game.

Please post your logs on http://mantis.gog.com according to instructions there. Our team is watching for new serious issues related to new releases there, and logs are crucial. :) Thank you!

Hi,

Our team have checked it, and it doesn't crash for us. We don't know what could cause the problems, especially that your PC is crashing, not the game only.

Could you please check if running this game without Galaxy running at the same time causes your PC to crash too? And after that, confirm again that running it through Galaxy crashes your PC?

Hey,

it really depends on how the mods for Baldur's Gate works. If they modified the original game files then Galaxy will update them, if you have auto-updates enabled (controlled in application settings) then upon import Galaxy will perform initial sync to latest version possible and download any files that mismatch.

If you want to be safe, you could backup BG1 into separate folder before importing.

One option would be to import Baldur's Gate, abort the sync and turn off Baldur's Gate Auto-updates in the game's settings, as Galaxy changes game files as last part of the sync. You just have to abort the sync, before Galaxy manages to change the files. I attached a screenshot with abort button and an x to cancel the update.

Game settings are available in the More dropdown (Also in a .screenshot :)).

Good luck.

We're aware of the Hellblade issue, and we're investigating it. This is a new bug, and is not connected to the previous screen shot improvements that were released a while back.

Hey,

We just released public beta of Galaxy 1.2.18.
The most visible change is the addition of new navigation menu, making Galaxy look more consistent with gog.com website.

There’s also a new menu notification system and some improvements to desktop notifications.

Also we fixed some bugs with game updates.

For full list of changes check the changelog in Galaxy

It could create a holdup, is it taking a long time? Amount of game will surely influence the time of Galaxy DB conversion.

Hey,

was there no popup that GOG Galaxy is migrating data and it might take a while?

As to games that client tried to update: I have just tried updating from 1.2.17 with few games not being on latest version with auto-updates turned off for and unfortunately couldn't reproduce the bug. Would you be willing to send your logs from C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\logs to galaxy-client-support@gog.com or create an mantis issue on mantis.gog.com so we can check if anything unusual happend for you?

Hey,

we'll take a look on how database upgrades are performing. For me updating (at home) was nearly instanteous, but i have only around 10 games installed.

Also, we've been performing numerous database upgrades before, so i wanted to ask, if you had this problem before, or is is something new? Also if you don't mind, do you own a SSD?

Could you provide us couple more details?
- What exact speeds are you getting in the Client? And, for comparison, what speeds are you getting if you try to download this game using web browser from GOG.com?
- What specific game are you installing? Does the issue persist when attempting to install a different game?
- Is there any bigger network or disk activity happening on the Client (as per Task Manager or similar)?

We're not posting any news, as we have no news on GOG Galaxy for Linux. As we stated before we'll eventually bring it to Linux, but currently it's not a priority for us, and we don't have any estimated date to share at this moment.

As you've noticed GOG Galaxy makes it possible for certain games to come to GOG.com at all. With every feature on our roadmap we evaluate how many users and how many games it will impact, and assign the priorities accordingly.

If it weren't for GOG Galaxy, the games you've mentioned wouldn't be on GOG.com at all. So the choice here is, should we bring them to Win & Mac only, or not at all.

I'm not saying we're not able to, or we don't know how. But building and maintaining a Linux build will cost us resources, which as in every company are limited. Currently we're not able to spend the time required considering our internal roadmap.

GOG Galaxy was made with cross platform compatibility in mind, but each platform is a constant cost (dev, qa) . With our roadmap we don't currently have the resources to maintain the Linux version.

I will respectfully disagree with this opinion. Itch.io is a great platform, with a great client, but they do not offer such things as multiplayer and matchmaking engine, friend system with game invites, in-game overlay, achievements, cloud saves, rollbacks and many more.

Hey,

We just released public beta of GOG Galaxy 1.2.19.
It improves greatly performance of in-game overlay and fixes bugs related to taking screenshots in Dragon Age: Origins and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.
Also a nice addition is ability to change keyboard layout inside overlay.

For full list of changes check out Galaxy changelog.
