Due to THE GREAT FIRE WALL,
China Mainland user can't use GOG DOWNLOADER and GALAXY CLIENT to download games;
sometimes can use IE download;
but the speed is very very slow;
Please solve this problem;

BY THE WAY;
could GOG support ALIPAY;
add Chinese support?

best regards

from china, test page stuck like:

0% done... please wait while all tests are being completed.





also the galaxy client in china, cannot download any games.

China is probably blocking completely the CDN GOG is using.

You can use mastercard without any problem here. As for speed...

In China Mainland, Alipay is the largest the most convenient online pay tools;
I am a normal student, I have no mastercard.

i am from china mainland. my ISP is china telecom. 12 Megabits/s fiber.

the 2015 gog download test can NOT even correctly start!

always test # 1 waiting... test #2 wating! 0% done stuck there.

i think the reason is...

1st. china mainland thoroughly banned google and all google related web app/web services. but your webpages within GOG website, some of them using google webpage gadgets. so, once china web c*ns*rsh*p firewalls detected there is something from google, then, block, then c*nnection reset would happen. then, the whole webpage loading is pretty slow for chinese users.

2nd. the china DNS servers, their dns records are all poisoned. and their dns records are imcomplete. so, gog.com might work. but gog cdn, e.g. login servers, authentication servers, image servers, download servers. these cdn they may use some other domain names, so these website, their dns records is empty or poisoned, so china dns servers cannot return correct gog cdn websites dns "domain name -> ip" translate records. so the client, can not view gog websites correctly ,and cannot download, even cannot start downloading.

so, a possible work-around now is , um, could gog tech guys, you share your gog.com and gog CDNs domains/websites, the complete dns records, i mean, things like those records entries in windows "hosts" file.

then we can replace the hosts file in our operation system, then, we 'd get the correct IP of gog.com, and gog CDNs websites...(non-poisoned dns records), then maybe some of us, can, correctly link to you...

yeah. thank you for your understanding and reading. and, edgecast CDN, their domain name, looks like, banned/poisoned in china mainland, so we need the correct CDN domain name translation results or correct DNS records of gog.com and gog CDNs...

flash player on everything?
Its only this test.
Site works completly fine withouth having flash player on.
Not sure about the galaxy client since im not taking part of the beta testing. (Notice the word beta)

Edit :
China does heavy cencorship of the internet
so the performance migth be related to that.

I'm the first to admit that I'm a complete tech-illiterate. I have no idea how anything works on this website, I can only safely say that most of it doesn't work here. It just seemed to me that the UI made things even worse, but naturally I could be wrong.

There are more obvious examples of GOG not working properly due to local... ahem... restrictions. Since youtube is blocked here, naturally none of the videos on the game cards can be displayed. Sadly enough, I now have to use Steam if I want to see the trailer for the latest game released here.

Steam seems unperturbed by any censorship. I don't use their client (so maybe that one if FUBAR in China as well), but the website itself seems to work fine.

Again, I'm a complete moron when it comes to technical issues - and most other things - so please forgive me if any of this sounds asinine. I'm just saying that shit doesn't work.

Alipay (internal one, with chinese card) is very restricted payment system. I see no way it used by GOG for now...
