Hi!
We have just released new version of GOG Galaxy (1.2.24) with many bugfixes and changed. Please check the top post or changelog for the details.

For people not willing to search & read the changelog - most notable changes in the new version IMHO:

- Added option to specify command line options when launching games (in each game's settings)
- Reworked how the navigation history works, fixing numerous bugs (left/right arrows in top menu) - it should work flawlessly now
- Sound volume regulation is respected for in-game notifications (50% quieter by default)
- Some scenarios (e.g. importing older game builds with auto-updates disabled) will no longer show newest game version label if Galaxy is not sure about that (instead: unknown version)
- "Continue previous session" setting for starting page will now properly remember the last page you visited before quitting
- Galaxy will no longer lose games when updated from version 1.1.30 to latest :)

Can you send your logs to http://mantis.gog.com/ so we can see why the update 1.2.23->1.2.24 failed? Thank you.

Can you send your logs to http://mantis.gog.com? Attaching a screenshot to the bug report would help too.

Thanks!

For anyone who's interested in monitoring the issue: http://mantis.gog.com/view.php?id=5344

Logs are of no help here. We'll do a fix for it soon.

Thank you for reporting this. :)

Hey,

we have released small update for Galaxy.

It contains small fix for networking stability in multiplayer games.

Hey,

we have released GOG Galaxy 1.2.26.

It contains another bugfix for network stability in multiplayer games and also for notifications not appearing in some cases.

Enjoy your online games :)

What operating system are you using? It should not happen. I would be grateful if you would put a bug report on http://mantis.gog.com
How is it a security concern? We could block older Galaxy versions if we wanted to do so. We do show an outdated message for some very old versions. But they are meant for the user convenience really, so he does not experience some broken features.

We've released GOG Galaxy Client 1.2.27 Beta (it means you have to enable preview updates to get it).

Most visible change is a dialog that will be shown if the cloud save sync fails due to not enough space in the cloud (very common Cloud Sync fail reason).
There were also some bugfixes, and some internal code changes that shouldn't affect you in any way.

For changelog, go to GOG Galaxy or pinned post above.

Thank you for the information.
Could you report this issue on http://mantis.gog.com and include Galaxy Client logs?

It's not a requirement of course. :)

Feel free to change the shortcuts at any time. To find the game executable, you can use MORE -> Manage installation -> Show folder

Some users have Galaxy Client running in background - and when you run the game through Galaxy (via "Galaxyfied" :P shortcut) - it allows you to have the game overlay, game time tracking, achievements etc. If it's just a single-player game and you don't care about game time tracking, or achievements - you can omit Galaxy.

Hey NoAGood,

do you have display scaling? I mean the "Make Text And Other Items Larger Or Smaller." option in control panel.

Liosan

You could try this: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/10436/using-program-compatibility-mode-in-windows-7/ - in compatibility settings there is an option to "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" which would affect only one application. I haven't tried it, though :)

Did the issue resolve itself? There is a technical limitation about how many requests can be processed daily, so the situation you describe might be normal.

Wait, what? It's added to the next screenshot? In what game? I tested a few and it works fine...

We have support for AUD. Did you choose AUD as your currency in account and locale settings?

Do you experience any problems with Galaxy Client on that matter? If so, could you try to change the currency in your profile settings from in-galaxy? (your avatar dropdown -> account management) Change it back and forth if it's already set.

Please send back your feedback when you're done. :) If we see any issue there regarding Galaxy Client, we'll add this as a bug to fix.

Hey, just a confirmation that we were in fact able to reproduce the problem, and that we have recorded this bug, and tagged it for further investigation. Thanks for bringing it to our attention :)
