We're experiencing issues with the Cloud Saves backend servers. You might notice some "Failed to sync storage" errors while syncing games.

All your local content is unaffected, and all changes made will be synced automatically once all issues are resolved.

Yes, a few games received minor updates required to support the overlay.

We've removed the broken Starbound update, so the game should install/work fine. There will be a new minor update in the coming days to fix the overlay.

It would help us debug this issue if you would create a new issue in our bug tracker and attach your logs:
http://mantis.gog.com/bug_report_page.php
(instruction for the logs are on the bug report page)

My previous post about cloud saves server status was lost on the previous page, but the storage servers experienced issues today, and we've taken them offline to perform maintenance.

Cloud saves servers are now coming back online, and the system is restoring syncing functionality to all games and users, but that's an ongoing process.

In the meanwhile all your local data is available and you can play games and make new saves. The cloud backup of your data is safe, and syncing will be restored once all servers are online. All changes made locally while serves were offline will be synced automatically, without any additional user actions.

We'd be thankful if you'd post a bug report. :) Thank you.

About TW3 not starting from Galaxy Client for some of you - as a workaround please run the game directly from the executable. We'll investigate the issue.

To find it, you can use MORE -> Manage installation -> Show folder

We've already received logs from a couple of users (thank you!), and we've been able to reproduce the issue. It affects only a small number of players. We're working on a fix.

We've release GOG Galaxy 1.2.8 a few minutes ago, that fixes the issue.

GOG Galaxy 1.2.8 fixes the issue, just restart GOG Galaxy to update to the latest version

Yes, we are:)

Hi Coreda,

Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my machine. I understand that the issue ocurred for you for notifications on your desktop (not in-game notifications). If so, then we would greatly appreciate you filing a bug report (following the steps outlined in the pinned post at the top of this thread) so that we can track the issue down.

Thanks in advance :)
Foiled

If it's happening in Galaxy or on desktop please select "Client". If it happens in-game than please select "Overlay".

As for the logs, please attach all of them, you can just compress the whole "Logs" folder.

Hey,

we have released a new version of Galaxy.

We have added online statuses in Friends Activity on Game View, so you will be able to check who you can play the game with nearly immediately.

The release also contains a fix for screenshots, which in some some were a bit broken.

Also Chinese simplified was added as languages with limited support. 你好 everyone :)

When you install a game - game will register itself in Galaxy so it's indexed.

You can close Galaxy Client, remove C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\Storage\galaxy.db file, start Galaxy Client again, and then import your games with scan&import function (top-left logo menu) on the folder you want.

edit: also, we're aware of Galaxy acting slow when having hundreds of games indexed.

It would help us to fix this issue if you would submit a ticket at https://mantis.gog.com and attach your logs (instructions are provided on the linked page)

I have 3 options for you:

1. Top-left menu icon -> scan & import -> choose parent folder of where the game is installed to

2. Library -> The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (go to Game View) -> MORE -> Manage installation -> "Import folder..." -> choose folder of your game

If those 2 didn't work, then something is wrong with the installed game instance, or Galaxy Client have some problem on your machine (you can file a Mantis report with logs).


3. Library -> The Witcher: Enhanced Edition -> INSTALL -> Choose parent folder of your game folder.

Check if it starts to install inside the same folder, or it creates new one with similar name. If it's the same folder - it should download just the differences (or nothing :) ). If it's different folder, you might cancel the installation, rename your full installation game folder to one that Galaxy created and try again.

Google tag manager and google analytics calls are done by gog.com website to gather statistics - you can block them - in the website code we detect that you're blocking it and respect that (nothing will break).

Other google things may be parts of YouTube videos and re-captcha for logging in and redeem page.


You could enable connections to presence.gog.com to make yourself "online" for other users and to see their status (yes, we're thinking about new privacy options).

"CDN" ones are there for us to make game downloads quicker for everybody. Blocking them may break something.


Do you have questions about any other domains?
