That happened to most of us almost a month ago. Is it possible it happened back then and you've only just noticed?

Yes thats probably true. On the subject of Galaxy I shouldn't have to be online to load the darn thing up.

You're right you shouldn't need to be online to load Galaxy and in fact with Galaxy 1.0 you didn't have to be online for it to work. In terms of what I'm seeing on the site right now though I keep getting the overloaded screen from time to time but a refresh usually loads the page I was trying to load however game searches and payment processing seem to still be down.

That's a GOG screen I hadn't see before (see image). Neither button works. Reloading results in the same message.

When I first looked I saw GOG bear holding up the world :/. Reloading I see what you mean. I guess someone had a long night trying to get something back up and hopefully things will improve in a few hours once the full web team is available. The thing I saw that I hadn't before was when the main site was (partly) present but without an account at all (the account header just wasn't there). Also a few error messages earlier, like " An error occurred while processing your request." and then a long number that I'm not going to post in case it has an IP address encoded.

Oh well, if only we had some time consuming entertainment that works offline to keep us busy when the website is down :).

I checked when it happened to others back then and wasn't affected, but today I am. It's possible it happened to me at some point in the intervening period, of course.

GOG's backend API (aka the catalog API) was down. I expect the webpage was trying to query it and it simply timed out, which led to the screen you noticed. I hope that doesn't mean they'll phase out the Atlas GOGBear. It's the mascot of this place by now :P.

I got nothing but blank infinite loading when that happened.

Eh. I took the opportunity to finally give Chronicles of Riddick a whirl that's been installed on my PC for years. This is exactly why I favor DRM-free games. My games still work even when the client/server completely craps its pants. :)

Two downloadable links of "Crypt of the NecroDancer" yield a 404:
- AMPLIFIED - Patch (1.27(DLC 2.41) to 1.27(DLC 2.43))
- AMPLIFIED - Patch (1.27(DLC 2.37) to 1.27(DLC 2.41))

P.S. Reported to GOG (but note that I have open tickets that are more than one month old).

Resolved.

I spoke too early. One of them is back.
