MatrixRaven: My session is currently suddenly not authenticated any longer, and using login prompts for user name and password, but then says GOG is asking for a reCaptcha and to try again later.
I tried manually editing the gog-cookies.dat by pulling the cookie data from my logged in browser using the Cookie Manager extension, but still no go. Anyone else having issues? Maybe GOG did something on their end? I need to update my library.
Kalanyr: The captcha locking can't be fully automated* and is bound to the IP. All you can do is use a cookie from a signed in browser where one in the correct format can be extracted or wait for the Captcha marking to time our or your IP to be rotated.

*It is possible to work around it with a rewrite that involves the user manually doing some stuff in the browser and copying some stuff back. But I only have that written for the Galaxy API.
EDIT: Or maybe I am thinking about the two-factor-authentication, ie. it seems to be triggered if your IP address has changed and you don't have valid existing cookies... I am not even sure what triggers the recaptcha, and why some of us practically never see it with GOG.
