Hey guys!

So I've been using Steam ever since time immemorial and I just recently started with GOG Galaxy 2.0 and I guess my friends list is quite lonely (with all of my real-life and internet friends are all in Steam). I just found the feature of GOG Galaxy very convenient for tracking all purchases I've made over the course of the years. I was actually surprised for some games that I totally have no idea that I had it in my different game libraries, so big thanks for that!

Anyways, let's connect with each other! (I'll make sure to constantly check on this thread for replies):

While we're also on this thread and we have something to interact about, I want to ask this question - so I recently purchased The Witcher 3 GOTY on its 80% sale for about $9.99 when you create a new GOG account (or I guess after logging in from a very long time). This would be a huge steal comparing it to the price in Steam and GOG Galaxy 2.0's amazing since it has the application integration feature showing that game in the client itself.

So according to Steam, the game has 78 achievements available and I would like to know if the achievement will pop-up real time when I hit play on the game through GOG Galaxy, just like it would if it was played on Steam? Will it also show up on my Profile's Summary in Steam in terms of hours played and achievements? Oh, and does it also have like an FPS overlay just like in Steam?

if you link it* to Galaxy then it will track your hours as Steam + Gog for total i.e, hours on Gog are counted for unlocks but it does also show the total with Steam hours included... no Steam doesn't track how many Gog hours you play

* Steam not witcher

You copy and pasted this from the your original thread in the General Forum, then you went ahead and repeated the same questions that I answered there.

Hey there, welcome to GOG! I've found it harder to "connect" with others in this platform, but it still happens.

Whoever feels like OP, feel free to add me :)

OP, welcome to GOG. I added some of you to my friend list.

welcome

To clarify the answers for this one for you:

Steam and GOG have separate achievement tracking systems. GOG has realtime awarding of achievements just like Steam does, and the game has the same achievements on here as it does on Steam. They are tracked separately for each game version though, so you won't get Steam acheivements appearing while playing the GOG version of the game, nor the other way around.

And yes, it is possible to display FPS in games while running them through GOG. If you use ctrl+shift+tab the FPS counter will be displayed (or hidden) and I beleive there's an option in the shift+tab overlay menu to change where it goes.
