GOG Galaxy 2.0 Open Beta now available
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Only way to add it is with a thing on github, and it's buggy af
I've been playing RDR2 on PC and the Rockstar launcher really doesn't want to integrate.
If you have playtime in them - the API doesn't distinguish between owned or played. So you'll have to note that on your own. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
It displays games you have played or currently installed as games you own. On my client it shows a bunch of game pass games I have installed, and Rise of the Tomb Raider and Recore which are the only games I own on W10 store.
Is there a possibility to add notes related to each game ?
For exemple,
I found a some tweak regarding a game and, in case I forget whatever command line it is, want to retrieve quickly just by finding the note in my library ?

thats a neat idea, would like to see all launchers adopt this (also synced to the cloud!)
agreed. i love what GOG 2.0 is doing but now that i know it doesn't sync to the cloud i don't see any reason to add tags or other customization. i tend to move between at least 2 PCs and would love to see the same data on both some day.
Thanks.
Of courses it defeats the purpouse if the notrs don't sync with the cloud !
At first I thouht I could do it on Steam but nope :/
We plan to add the synchronization to the cloud, so all your library settings would be visible on all devices you use GOG GALAXY 2.0 on.
that would be amazing, honestly. thanks for all the hard work.
Yooooo this thing is amazing!
What really stood out to me and got me excited was how I was able to link my DRM free Humble version of Noita and have the art and everything integrated automatically!

You guys should ask Nintendo for some way to integrate myNintendo/eShop accounts into this. I don't want my games to be stuck under the "Platform: Other" label, and I manually tried to change it but it wouldn't let me. The annoying work around is having to add a "Nintendo Switch" tag but it's just weird how all the other console games get their own icon (PSN, XBL) except Nintendo's.
(I mean technically GOG is represented via Witcher 3 port so...)
I've been using GOG Galaxy for quite a while and the level of improvements have been really noticeable over the last several months. I was able to get several additional integrations working and now pretty much everything except for Oculus is within GOG.
The last thing that I can't figure out is the game World War Z just doesn't show up. I have dozens of other EGS games that show correctly and I compared the library and that is the only one that doesn't show up. Any ideas?
i've stopped using this and gone back to the classic client.
it's a good idea but it just causes too much hassle. games appear then disappear. some don't even bother integrating. the client is buggy with the last couple releases.

I'm still having problems with integrations. They randomly disconnect, or go offline, or the games only partially sync. I don't think there's been one time where I launch it, and everything works as intended. I get that it's an open beta, but this issue has persisted since day one.
It's been working well for me besides the highlighted issue. Also, new games I bought on steam dont seem to appear unless I restart GOG.
I love being connected to ps4/xbox folks though so probably will keep. I like the idea of having everthing in one place and not having to manually add everything. Plus, doing things this way I can see my stats (time played). Digging it so far but its not perfect
I have it start with my PC automatically and any game I buy gets added without having to restart the app :)
The classic launcher is fugly and bland af, forgot it even existed, good riddance to that.
I used to have that issue of the rando disconnections. Been a lot better lately, keep it up devs, loving it

Hi all! First I want to wish all of you all the best in 2020. What a year this will be! :D
Now, back to your questions.
Thanks for all the kind words! As for World War Z, this is weird. Have you tried disconnecting the integration and running it back?
Sorry to hear that. We're constantly working on improving the performance of the app. With some integrations, since they are community created, there's not much we can do, other than try to contact the creators and let them know about issues. Our goal is to bring official integrations to as many platforms as possible.
Just click on the options button (on the right to the "Link executable" button) and pick "Remove from library".
Sorry to hear that. We've done a lot of fixes to improve integrations connection stability, so it should be better now.
Thanks for the feedback. As you know the app is in beta phase and we're constantly working not only on new features but on improving the existing ones. If games don't show up after buying them (I know that was the case during Winter Sale periods) give it a few minutes or use the "Sync integrations" option from the settings drop-down menu.
So it works as intended :)
Good to hear it works well for you. Thanks!

I don't know how or why but World War Z randomly decided to join the party and is appearing properly. I've switched to GoG Galaxy as my primary launcher now that all the integrations are working so well. Looking forward to whatever the team has in store next. Having 200+ games installed from 13 different launchers all in one place is fantastic. Also, most of the cover art is great and for the select few that I want to change they were easy to update and stayed updated for the next time I launch.
One of my only suggestions is that when first launching the client it takes the cover art for games owned on multiple launchers a while to appear. The other suggestion is if there is any way to integrate with Oculus and maybe even be able to launch Oculus games that would be fantastic.
Thanks. Still using it as my main launcher now. My only complaint now is sometimes the plugins will crash. I wish they would restart on their own. Its a very minor issue though.
So I've noticed the Steam integration updated recently, and I'm not really comfortable with using it anymore.
It now puts up a custom login box and requests for your 2 factor auth code. It's no longer going to Steam's website to authenticate you and returning a token to the client to use, it's straight up acting as a client itself - taking your credentials and forwarding them on to Steam.
I've only had a quick glance over the code, but the fact it's not going through the official route via OAuth (or whatever it is) isn't an acceptable risk for me. I don't want to give my Steam credentials and 2 step auth code to a piece of 3rd party software. I can look at the code and confirm it's okay - I suppose, but it can get updated and I don't really know of any way to verify that code is running on my machine when I set up this integration.
I'd rather have the old integration method and it be less functional, tbh.

GOG Galaxy Open Beta updated to 2.0.14 Theia
Is huge, includes Subscriptions, smooth scrolling and at last, one of my most requested features; Sorting Titles (internal names for sorting games with non homogenous titles like Shadow of the Tomb Raider or Return To Castle Wolfenstein)

Subscriptions seem broken right now, at least for Gamepass. When I click on Subscriptions it only gives me four games, none of which are on Gamepass lol
Yeah, mine shows a bunch of non-subscription tied games on the filtered library.
How do you add subscriptions? Must be real simple and i'm missing it like a dumdum but oh well.
EDIT: oh woops its broken for now, nevermind then

How do you download the update? I don't see any buttons to search for updates in Galaxy.
It should prompt you on start up. So just close it down completely and restart it.
It took way longer than it should have for the update window to appear, but appear it did. Thanks.
elcook_GOG It would be great if a button for a manual update check were added to Galaxy!
It seems by default only Xbox Live Gold games are shown. To enable Gamepass for PC and Xbox go under settings > features > scroll to bottom.
What Abaddon said.
I really wish there was a way to manually check for updates. I'm still stuck on the November 2019 update and it never updates no matter how many times I restart.
I love this app, best I ever tried for managing my collection. Steam's was a mess that really need you to never move your game, or rename it. GOG Galaxy 2 is just so easy to populate all the art and keep track of games even if you move the install location, there's no need to redo things.
I was stuck on that, enabling the beta build in the settings got it to update
I've tried that, as well as re-installing from scratch, but no luck unfortunately.
Having the "no update" issue too. Already have Public Beta features enabled and restarted GOG Galaxy several times, but no prompt appeared.
