I personally had not any problem with Galaxy, even if I´m not a huge fan of another launcher. But until it work I was able to tolerate it. After last update half of my owned games tiles stop showing and there is no option to change it in media tab. Tech support came back to me after three weeks - adviced to delete c:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage\ folder where galaxy´s *.db files are. After this I got exactly same "no tiles" view on my owned games. Today I bought new computer with Win 11 - freshly installed Galaxy - and surprise surprise - problem persist also on brand new PC. WT*???
I don't know if you might be interested in a report from a Linux user, however... I use Galaxy 2.0 on Ubuntu 23.04 via Bottles, everything seems to work well but the video presentations of the games on their respective pages freeze very often causing crashes. Another problem: the overlay causes Tomb Raider 2013 to crash on startup.

One last thing: it would be important to have a dark theme for the site that can also be used for Galaxy.
Something in line with the forum perhaps.

I have the same problem - but only with one single game. Did not get any reply from support yet though and somehow I doubt they would say me anything different they told you. This clearly is a server problem on GOGs side, so I don't think there's much you can do.

Same thing for you ?

I don't own the game but the overlay SHOULD work for this game as well. It is part of the product features GOG is advertiting - therefore GOG guarantees that it will run with this game. If it does not run you should create a support ticket. I will ask others if the overlay is working for them and post it here as well as soon as I got a reply.
