I'm still unable to access GOG Galaxy, and I don't want to risk losing my installs in uninstalling and reisntalling :( Anybody found a fix?
My GOG worked just one day and stopped. Trying hard to reinstall but it keeos failing.
I'm baffled Galaxy still is unable to take screenshots of any game I play using it. Screenshoting its the most elemental right of every gamer since the beginning of times... guys, you really should fix this, I don't want use Steam client on my GOG games just to take a screenshots...
My Galaxy crashes every time I start it, without exception. If I uninstall and reinstall, will I lose saved game progress?

Martello: My Galaxy crashes every time I start it, without exception. If I uninstall and reinstall, will I lose saved game progress?
No, Galaxy has no connection to your offline saves and uninstalling Galaxy won't impact your cloud saves.
I can't launch Galaxy anymore. The processes are running, the client and an updater, but nothing happens. No tray icon, no program window, nothing. Help?

Are you saying your screenshot feature doesn't work? Muscle memory made me press F12 earlier this week because I wanted to take a screenshot and it worked just fine. There's even a notification and a sound clip for it, just like in Steam. Pictures are saved in Documents > GOG Galaxy > Screenshots.
I can't even install GOG Galaxy on a new computer now. Not sure if this is from the latest update or what. But, after downloading the installer, trying to run it, and approving it to make changes, doesn't make any installer or downloader show up. There is a "GOG Galaxy (32bit)" and "Setup/Uninstall (32 bit)" processes running, with the GOG.com branding, but nothing actually happens. Trying to run the installer as administrator just stalls and then kills the explorer.exe process.

Running Windows 10 Insider Preview 64-bit.

It doesn't work in all games as Steam client do and thats really awful.

Harzzach: I have ... ähem ... currently nearly three hundred GOG games installed. Galaxy also takes ages to start, around 15-30 minutes, like he reported. And also since the last update. Do you need more logs or do you already have enough information?
avatar
cyruz1: I have the same issue. Since the last update, the client takes up to half an hour to start and I only have a single game installed. Yesterday, it took just as long to apply a 3 MB patch to said game. Something is really, really wrong.
Same. I can't get it to download anything now either. Slower than Christmas and then it just freezes and hangs. I finally gave up and have deleted it from my computer (Windows 10 -- and it is very unstable on Win 10). It's too memory intensive as well, so is basically sucking the life out of my computer every time I open it.

Johny.: We can only help you if you send us your logs on http://mantis.gog.com/bug_report_page.php

Out of curiosity: How many games do you have installed?

We have some, but the more logs the better, use mantis.gog.com
This bug is rather weird...

In which games are you having issues with screenshots? Please let me know, and we'll investigate the issue.

Well, it's true not all games support screenshots as the overlay isn't supported by all games (yet?)
