Hey, I just installed Syberia 2 and now I am seeing two icons in the Games Explorer (running WIndows 7 x64). I don't think the game has been made 100% compatible with Windows 7... Anyone else having this problem?
GOG guys, can you please fix this?

This actually happens with a fair few games from GOG. At least, it has for me in Vista's game explorer. All of the Unreal games have given two icons, for example, and if you look on the forums there are other games with two icons (I think the Oddworld games do too). I think it's just how GOG package the games.

There are 3rd party programs that can edit the games explorer for you.

Not used it myself so use at your own risk and all that. Its possible to do it manually with registry settings I think as well but I don't remember how.

That's just the flakiness of Games Explorer.
Try playing Guild Wars - I have SIX icons for that ^_^

Just to give you guys a little update, I contacted GOG via Twitter few days ago, and they told me they'll look at this problem. It will probably get fixed in time they finish up the Windows 7 support.

Marked as solution, until an official fix is released.

You can just right-click on the game icon and an option to 'hide this game' is there (near the bottom). At least it does on mine.
Except I can't right-click or even left-click on either of the syberia games! All my other GOG games work, but not these two.
I can start them from the start menu so I'm not too worried though.
