Help us break the GOG Galaxy servers!

Our venture into GOG Galaxy started not too long ago, so far our infrastructure supports online multiplayer for <span class="bold">Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000</span>, <span class="bold">Double Dragon Trilogy</span> and of course <span class="bold">The Witcher Adventure Game</span>. It's been pretty smooth sailing, but there is still so much ahead of us. We want to learn everything we can about our infrastructure under a lot of stress, how much we can handle before weird stuff starts to happen. That means plenty of people doing all kinds of things at once - rolling dice, beating up baddies, killing aliens.

We're going to be hanging out in-game, and we'd like you to join us in trying to break our servers.






-We want to throw everything we can at our infrastructure. We'd like you to help us break it on Thursday, February 12 starting at 4:00 PM GMT. No worries if you're late, we'll be at it for a while. You can check your local time right here!





-Simply launch your GOG.com copy of Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000, Double Dragon Trilogy, The Witcher Adventure Game, join an existing multiplayer game or create your own, and have a good time! We'll be there too.





Once you've had a chance to play, let us know how your online experience went, and what we can do to improve it (keep in mind we're not testing the games themselves, but the online infrastructure). You can vent, praise, and anything in between, right here in this forum thread. We'll be watching!


Thank you!

For the Witcher Adventure game, playing against the computer doesn't count?
If I can find the time, I'll definitely join the stress test and play some AvP and DD.
Bring it on!
Galaxy's been great to me! :D

edit: I'm out :(
Time zones :(

Ok, so thursday we will be able to talk to black magic peddlers in AvP lobbies, is that it ? I wouldn't mind a good deal on a couple o'sneakers though.

moonshineshadow: Question: Are these games still installing the client on the windows hard drive partition or can you choose now?

DoctorGOGgles: At least Aliens vs Predator still does, unfortunately.
Meh ok. Besides from still being at work when the test starts this will also not make me join in once I get home. How hard can it be to fix the install location option for the client?
I'll be playing real-life football from 5 to 6 CET (yeah, with my legs!) so I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend...
Gimme an hour or so, and I'll get on some AvP .
Wouldn't it make more sense to do a stress test on the weekend when the most amount of people could possibly participate?

...and most of the GOG team want to be at home taking it easy?
I'll be at work. It'll be 11:00 am here. :(

Later in the evening, the wife will be dragging me to watch "50 shades of Grey". I have high hopes for later at night. :)
Yeah, a bit early for the Americans. I won't be home from work until 7 1/2 to 8 hours after it starts. Meh, I'm not much of a multi-playing gamer anyway. I'd be little more than a predictably moving target in AvP

Properly testing the biggest feature addition in the site's history sounds like it would be worth one inconvenienced work weekend.

To be fair, a) Most and b) 24 hour service. If their website only worked on weekdays I'd agree :)
where do I download Galaxy to try it out

angelus04: where do I download Galaxy to try it out
You can't. It is integrated into the three multiplayer games mentioned in the OP. So if you have one of them you can participate.
