Now that GOG Galaxy 1.2 is taking the world by a storm and the overlay feature is finally being exposed to a much wider audience of users, there is a greatly increased interest by the community in knowing which games the overlay works with and which it is known to not work with. In addition to that, in some cases where the overlay does not work, it might be able to be made to work with some minor tweaking of things.
I've created this thread in order to track which games work and do not work with the Galaxy overlay over time, how to get it to work with more games, and as a general source of information on the overlay functionality. I'll be updating the first few posts with information related to this topic, and creating a public spreadsheet to disseminate the information gathered in a useful form.
Please test your games with Galaxy 1.2.1 or newer and report here in this thread whether or not the games you've tested worked or not, along with any specifics you've experienced good or bad. Also, please only report games that you personally own and have tested yourself and they succeeded or failed, as I'm keeping track of what works/fails for each person and want confirmed test runs for each game.
Please use the following format so it is easier for me to cut and paste things, and once you have submitted a list, do not edit it later to add new games to your previous post or I will never see it. Create a new post in the thread for each submission so I can process them one at a time in sequence without missing anything.
Please copy and paste the exact name of each game from the GOG store page or your game library to avoid spelling mistakes and ambiguities between different versions of games that all exist in the store
[Overlay works]
Game #1
Game #2
[Overlay does not work]
Game #3
Game #4
[Overlay comes up but crashes game]
Game #5
Game #6
etc.
If your experience with a game gives a result that is different than works/doesn't work in some material way, just include a brief explanation.
