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!

DProject: Probably a really stupid question but...how do I get the Galaxy client?
The multiplayer galaxy launcher is integrated in the games mentioned by gog. The client as such is not ready yet.

sunshinecorp: Uh, sure. Give me a linux client and I'll help. ;)
Me too.
There doesn't seem to be a definitive response to how long "a while" is.

I'll be home from 6 or so, and can play on and off till 10 or so. Is there much point in me joining (beyond munching on tasty tasty humans in my favourite 'fear and adrenaline' marinade)?

It's nice to pretend to be constructive.

yyahoo: 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
I have to agree with this. GOG is not going to get good data from US customers by running a test in the morning in the middle of the week.

Yeah. Me too!
I have the GOG Galaxy client but don't have any of these games so.... yeah :)

Hope all goes well though! We need more multiplayer games.
Guess I'll install AvP again, then :)

Nice to see things coming along!

Aren't these games handed out for free so you can test?
I got the Witcher Adventure game (beta or something) and Aliens vs Predators classic 2000 for free like that.
