Hi, I have the habit to launch all my games from their desktop icon, and i also would like to track my in-game time in GOG Galaxy, but GOG Galaxy 2 beta is not tracking my time if i launch the game from the desktop icon. To track the time i need to launch the game from the GOG Galaxy overview page of the game.

Is this supposed to happen ? I think that GOG Galaxy 1, was able to track my in-game time even if the game was launched from the desktop icon. Am i wrong ?

Just a wild guess:
Did you start from scratch, or did you install Galaxy 2 over and exisiting Galaxy 1 installation ? If the latter, does this also happen with games that you installed via Galaxy 2 > the idea behind those questions is that Galaxy 2 just imported games previously installed without modifiying the desktop shortcut.
