There is no update on GOG right now, at least for me. It's live in every other platform but there is nothing on GOG 🫩

edit:

I've managed to solve this by manage installation > configure > turn auto updates from 'on' to 'off' and then 'on' again.

Does anyone know the process GOG (or other game distributors) use to obtain games from closing (or closed) studios?

With BioWare announcing that they're closing, I was wondering if it becomes impossible to obtain some of their games like the Mass Effect series or if the studio decides to just start giving it away to distributors freely since they're closing.

I'm aware we already have some of their games like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Edit: Thank you to everyone who informed me of an answer. The answers seem to have a general consensus and although I'm not a lawyer, seem to make sense at the legal level.

I was watching this video recently about Dungeon Siege. And that got me wondering if GOG is ever going to get the complete collection of Dungeon Siege games and expansions? It seems all the expansions are missing from what is sold on digital storefronts.

The installer for the 2.5 update of Cyberpunk 2077 believes I don't have enough space for the update, which is weird, because I have over 3 terabytes of free space. I recently copied over my files to a larger disc, so could this have caused an issue?

This is on Linux through Lutris.

^{(Note: I made a post with this suggestion a while back, but new people might see this and a reminder doesn't hurt.})

It's far from guaranteed to work, and I understand life is short, but the more people who are willing to hold off buying on Steam and wait for what they want (such as a GOG release, or DRM-free installer on another store like Zoom-Platform or Fire Flower Games), the more likely a dev or publisher (especially a smaller one, who might find the money from GOG meaningful) is to release on GOG or another digital store I mentioned.

Of course, there are various big-name devs and publishers who don't care about GOG's little amount of money (compared to Steam) or dislike DRM-free. It'd certainly be nice if enough people held off buying until there was a GOG release, and I do encourage that, but I also understand the unlikeliness of changing those devs' or publishers' minds. So I understand not waiting, in some cases.

Also, I specifically mentioned single-player because online multiplayer seems to be a sticking point for GOG releases. Not many devs seem to want to spend the time porting to Galaxy, presumably again because GOG's userbase is so much smaller than Steam. (I assume shared / split-screen multiplayer is fine.)

Hello.

I just downloaded the 70gig+ update and the game isnt launching. I tried manualy starting from folder, rebooting, running as admin. Nothing works for me. Is there anyhting I can do before reinstal?

This error message keeps popping up when I try to open GOG galaxy. I have tried the services.msc and have both galaxyclient and galaxycomm set to manual but that hasn't helped.

Youtube , steam and reddit is working but not GOG and multiplayer in my game

Ever since I saw this video, I took inspiration from their design and made my own from it. I'm kind of addicted to making my own physical games now. lol.

Here are some basic templates I made for the 1,2 disc, 3 disc, and 4 disc versions of the inserts for the clear Scanavo Criterion boxes. I did leave a screenshot of what I used as reference to create my own elements. This will at least make printing easier with bleeds already in mind.

Are you working on a Linux version (Bazzite)? I would appreciate having an alternative to Steam. Thank you for your time.

Paid for Fallout:NV today a few hours ago and the game hasn't been added to my account, no orders show up in my history as well, but I have been charged for it, is this normal because of the servers failing or am I screwed? This page has been showing up for the past 5h or so, and the payment provider's window shows as expired (paid through PIX), I've contacted support and so far nothing.

UPDATE: After GOG informed me there were problems with PIX, took a little more than a day and then they refunded me.

If the response is good I may run a small Kickstarter later so people can order blank packs.

No game files would be included. People would burn their own (hopefully) legally owned GOG installers at home. Labels would be custom (people supply their own artwork).

Curious what people think of the physical side (disc quality, labeling, case design) and whether others would actually want something like this.

edit: I see some mention that Kickstarter might not be appropriate and that I should just open an online shop. I see that point, but I do need funding to cover initial start-up costs. I'm hoping to secure an expensive, production-quality thermal printer so these discs are identical to professional, console-quality release, something that's hard to achieve with standard home equipment.

edit 2: Seems like this project raises some legal concerns in its current form. I gotta change the approach to licensed products but I'm not sure how interested publishers might be. drop your suggestions below if you got any.

ReTzar is a free, open-source remake of Tzar: The Burden of the Crown, rebuilt from scratch with the original rules. It runs natively on modern Windows, crisp up to 4K, with no compatibility settings.

Unzip it, run ReTzar.exe and choose your GOG Tzar folder (Galaxy: Manage installation -> Show folder). That's it.

It also includes the Excalibur and Genghis Khan campaigns, in seven languages.
