isbelldl: I've been having issues with new purchases taking excessively long to appear in GOG Galaxy. I feel like this issue only appeared recently. I've been using GOG Galaxy since the initial release. I noticed it with probably the last 3 or 4 games I purchased. They all eventually appeared, but only after a few hours & restarting the client out of frustration. I'm not sure if the restart helped or was just coincidence.
I actually came to the forum to see if the issue was actively being discussed before I contact support. To date, any game purchase has appeared before end of day. I just don't understand why the GOG Galaxy client isn't updating in a similar manner to the website library. At worst, restarting the client after a game appears in the online library should sync it, but that hasn't been my experience lately. I know the client isn't necessary, but overall I like the additional features (auto updates, & cloud save backups primarily). I'd prefer to keep using it.
If your experience is like mine, it should show up eventually. That's not helpful in the meantime though. My most recent purchase (today) took 4 hours of waiting & a client restart to appear.
I restarted the GOG Galaxy client and the game appeared, I waited about 4 hours as well. It was just a matter of waiting. I suppose I was just impatient haha. Anyways this issue is resolved.
