That just proves that Search doesn't work. :p

Don't be greedy, look for them one by one.

LOL

In case nobody figured that one out yet, the GOG search looks at the game name but also the publisher/developer name also. Those games are made by Bugbyte and Bugbear respectively. :) Still funny though. :)

Spot on, +1. ;-)

Speaking of breaking, with the most recent update to GoG Galaxy it now crashes on startup for me. I get the error message that it can't find the "QueryUnbiasedInterruptTime" in the DLL-file KERNEL32.dll. Fortunately I can still play my games but... plaese halp!

EDIT: Nevermind, I see now they've made it incompatible with Vista. Sad times ._.

That's quite nasty of them, with just an update like that, since there are still some users of that (obviously) and, unlike XP, it's still technically under official support from MS until April. If anything, third party devs should strive to support older OSs even after the end of official extended support, not end it sooner.
(Assuming it doesn't have support for XP either? Thinking there are still a fair number more users of XP than Vista.)

No, they had to drop support for XP and Vista because they needed the newer features of Chromium (which doesn't support XP or Vista either), see here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_galaxy_beta_2/post5021/?staff=yes

No less nasty. (Worse, even, relying on... even further 3rd party stuff and adding the limitations of that to theirs.)
But meh, as long as it's just for those who explicitly want to use it...

Except that Galaxy officially never supported XP nor Vista. Since the day it was made available it only ever claimed to support Windows 7 a nd newer. The code just happened to work on XP and Vista also and they may have tweaked it a bit just as a convenience to those platforms even though they were unsupported, but since day one they said that they would try to do that as long as they could but eventually a day would come where it would no longer run on XP or Vista.

It's not nasty of them to upgrade it to support missing features on supported platforms right now and lose the ability to run on always-unsupported platforms, rather it was very incredibly nice of them to have left code in the program to let it run on unsupported platforms from release until now. I have to pat them on the back for their generosity towards people who are using older platforms all this time as they didn't need to do that, and they not only never claimed to support XP or Vista, but they officially claimed that they were unsupported, so they did not even miscommunicate about it.

So while nobody else is really saying it, I'll say this even if it is unpopular to some:

Good job GOG! Thank you for allowing Galaxy to have run on XP and Vista all of this time even though you never supported it officially and you clearly communicated that to us all along, it was a kind gesture to legacy OS users. Thank you also for upgrading Galaxy's underlying technologies to support H264 video codecs so that people can see more trailers instead of broken video, and for upgrading the other core technologies to improve the performance of the client and other capabilities on the supported platforms. It's unfortunate that you were not able to continue to make the client able to be ran in an unsupported state on legacy OSs, but at least you did your best to make it usable as long as possible on them.

As for "relying on 3rd party stuff". There isn't a single large application like this out there that does not use 3rd party stuff. In fact, almost every single major gaming client from just about any major platform uses the Google Chromium Embedded Framework as the basis of their client's web technology. That includes, Blizzard Battle.NET, Desura, GOG Galaxy, Steam, Uplay to name a few.

Developing your own in-house web rendering engine is foolish when there are several ready-to-use ones out there which are free to use and have many years and tens of thousands of man-hours of development put into them. Not to mention the dozen or so other 3rd party technologies that are utilized as well.

To rewrite all of this stuff from scratch just to do it "in house" would take 15 years, or hiring about 1000 people. Either way, it's a ridiculous idea to not utilize perfectly good free technologies like this just to "do it yourself" at great expense. For what? To support an ancient operating system that is EOL that less than 1% of the population still uses, and another one that is still technically supported but on the way out as well and has even less users?

Yeah, it sucks when your operating system gets dropped from being supported by a piece of software, I hate it when that happens just as much as the next guy. But in this case, it was never "supported" in the first place, rather it just "happened to maybe possibly work for a limited time if it happens to work".

GOG isn't doing anything unreasonable here at all. Hell, there are are more people running Linux at this point than XP+Vista combined WRT gaming, or close to it, and Linux is actually a supported platform and still doesn't have a working Galaxy client. I'm sure the Linux users wouldn't be pleased to see GOG wasting resources on unsupported platforms while they neglect the supported Linux platform. Maybe now GOG can move towards releasing the client on Linux sooner than later even. That'd be nice to see.

Why does the front page keep asking me if I'm sure I want to leave it today?

I'm not getting anything...
What browser are you on?

It sounds like a virus really.. but it might be something to do with the 2-Step verification, I am getting a notice asking me to confirm my email is correct for when they turn it on.

IE11. And I clicked to confirm that the e-mail is correct.
Doesn't happen on any other page.

Message is the standard one when trying to navigate away from a page that wants to be sure you don't lose stuff when you do, like for example Fb when you're typing something and didn't post (attached), just that somebody messed up with the custom message... and with the fact that there's no need for such a message there.

anyone else just loose Shadow Warrior 2 from their library???

I am getting it as well, on OS X Safari (but not that I can see on Firefox on OS X). It seems to have started when the 2-Step Verification message appeared and for me at least only effects the main store page. I have cleared the cache and logged out on Safari, but it still does it from what I have seen.
