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!

Trying to break servers does sound like good fun.
I'll try to help.
AvP for me.
I'd love to join, but no Linux version. :(
Is a Linux version planned for the future, or is this Windows-only? Does the Mac version of the Witcher Adventure game currently include Galaxy?
I would like to help but I'm a single-player.. :P

Makes me wonder, there is nothing fancy in the game for Direct3D and other stuff not available on Linux natively. It is essentially a card/board game.
Bad time, tomorrow's my birthday, and at 17:00 I'm probably leaving for dinner. :P
I wish I could.. but I can't.
Good luck with Galaxy!

I'm sure there will be more tests after this.. happy birthday for tomorrow.
That's 17:00 CET. I'll be at work for at least one more hour, so it'll be 19:00 or later until I'm home. I guess that's too late.
Well I will try to help you out if I can by playing AvP for a bit although I utterly suck at that game. Hope you bring Galaxy Multiplayer to Total Annihilation soon.

I doubt it's a one hour test, they said they will be on for a while.

Sure, although I'd rather they release it soon. Thanks!
just ddos the shit out of them :)
I strongly suggest to throw in an "incentive" (hint hint) and many will give it a shot.

Otherwise, I'm going to wait out and let it go the Origin route, which took a complete year to iron mostly everything out.
I'll help out.

C'mon Gog Galaxy, this is it, this is now or never, no pressure, you have one shot, either you will hold on and become a hero or you will fail miserably and be forgotten... But i trust you, hell, i even mortgage my house so i could bet everything on you and even saw some creepy tough guys that apparently like to break the bones of those who disappoint their family bet on you. You can do it gog galaxy, let's go!!!!
Probably a really stupid question but...how do I get the Galaxy client?
