Hey, hope everyone's going alright.

While some of us probably can't wait for Thronebreaker release, today's release is not mainly about that.

Other than few fixes and improvements, this update brings plenty of bugfixes to the Overlay on Windows.
Thanks to that, we'll be able to enable it in even more games than now (ones from changelog after release and more to come later).

Hey, you're right. It should have been dx 10. Still overlay will be enabled soonish.

You can contact our support at https://support.gog.com, you can also play the game without using Galaxy, just download offline installers for it from https://www.gog.com/account ("Download offline backup game installers")

Time will tell. :P

We're still working hard. :)

It's not a wrong place. You can monitor and report your logs to this issue (there are instructions when submitting report). I think I have filed it with a different name also.

I've heard it happened for 3 or max 4 users in the span of last 2 years (but consistently for them). Very rare.

Hey,

we have released a new update to GOG Galaxy, available only if you have enabled Beta Galaxy updates.

We would like to have it on beta channel for two reasons.
1. We have updated the code signing certificate and are unsure about the reaction of antiviruses. They might treat this update with special care, as certificate changed.
2. We would like to verify the changes improving the security of GOG Galaxy application before it gets passed to everyone

Thank you for kind words. :) did you contact support? They might know some Common reasons for game time tracking to now work. Are you starting your games through Galaxy? In Galaxy settings, you have game time tracking enabled in toggles?
If support doesn't help, file an issue with logs to Mantis.gog.com so we can check if it's a bug on our side.
"From the game" - you mean through Overlay, or GOG Galaxy app?
Which games have this issue? All of them? Do YouTube videos in Galaxy works fine, but screenshots not? And do they load slowly, or not at all?
Do you have slow internet connection? Did you maybe limit it in GOG Galaxy bandwidth settings?

Ok, thanks for your feedback. :)

I guess you're referring to website store page of the game. It's not my area, but I'll pass your feedback to the designers.
I hope in upcoming future you'll find GOG Galaxy more useful, not only with games marketing content.
It's weird you say you can always click on game and go to its main page - which page do you refer to? We have the same videos in Galaxy's game view, and on GOG store page.

Now I get what you mean. :) you can hold ctrl (on Windows) and click the game tile, it will open in the browser then, and you'll stay where you were in Galaxy. Or use middle mouse button to do it.

Thanks for the reports on the slow startup. The next update should significantly improve that :)

Hey,

we have released GOG Galaxy 1.2.50.
This update will fix the slowdown of Galaxy startup introduced in last version,
as well as continues with strengthening security of the application.

Hey,

we have released a new update for GOG Galaxy, 1.2.51.

It contains a small fix for Galaxy SDK related to notifications when playing a game.

We're aware of the issue, and it will be definitely resolved in future versions of GOG Galaxy. I cannot tell any release date yet, unfortunately.
It should be maximum one admin password request when you update GOG Galaxy (which we want to get rid of completely), but I'm not aware of multiple password requests when updating a game, or adding DLC.

File a mantis.gog.com report with your logs - pretty please. :) Your logs are important here. Thank you for very precise description - you can just copy your post to mantis, add logs and title "multiple admin password requests when updating game". :)

It's a way of protecting your redeem key to be bruteforced by someone else and sold on some phishy page.
How come GOG Galaxy froze your system update? Seems unlikely to me. Or was it game update?
We're aware of website loading issues, especially on winter promo, and how they affect Galaxy. It might cause freezes on startup, or when reloading store, but they shouldn't be too long. Total freeze we're not aware of. If you care to put logs of those freezes on mantis.gog.com , I'd be grateful.
It doesn't depend on a game, it can happen to any of sidebar images. :(
