Guilty about refunds

I always have buyers impulse and sometimes refund games after realizing playing them is not what it feels like in the preview.

On steam I have no problem but on gog I feel guilty because they are still in my library. I also cannot seem to remove them from my library and can't buy them again if I change my mind....

Is there like a middle ground to this, like if I refund the game then it disappears from my library, or if I can download a time limited edition of a game as a demo...

gog.com, i thank you greatly for reconnecting me with my childhood and beyond.

i will never understand another persons need to deride someone for a passion. a simple hobby. is it so wrong to come home after a stressful day, sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself your own way? this is my passion, my hobby, what i like. thank you gog, for allowing me to access this and so much more.

edit: i plan to get the legacy of kain and soul reaver games too. cant wait.

Long Wait Times to Hear from Support

Hello,

Recently, I joined the platform and bought a few discounted games for Black Friday. However, since I play on Linux, I (expectedly) ran into some issues with some of them and wanted to return them. I really hoped that I could get that resolved sooner rather than later, but it has now been a week and I have neither heard back from support nor gotten any response if and why it would be taking so long for what supposedly shouldn't have taken more than 24 hours-- I chose to get a return to my GOG wallet.

Has anyone here ever had this experience? What should/could I do besides wait? I really wanted to exchange some of the games while the sale was on...

How can I stop intrusive gog galaxy pop-ups, review request & disable cloud saves

Greetings, I'm currently using Windows 11. I've been a gog account holder for nearly 15 years with over 130 games in my library. I've always tried to avoid gog galaxy in the past due to multiple problems with it over the years and lately have not revisited gog due to my gaming on other platforms. However recently I wanted to revisit some good-old-games and used gog galaxy (unfortunately) to install. Now I am getting annoying, time-consuming pop-ups of the application, request to write reviews and cloud syncing (which I do NOT want) every time I launch a game. I tried looking in galaxy app settings (where the options should be but cannot find), internet searches, and tried task manager, etc but found no successful information on how to disable these unwanted and intrusive "features".

For Windows 11 does anyone have any idea on:

  1. How to disable the gog galaxy application from popping up at all?
  2. How to disable any kind of cloud interaction and cloud saves?
  3. How to disable review requests?

In short, when I launch a game, I wish ONLY the game to launch, not to be spammed by gog galaxy -- I only want it to run invisibly in the background and update my games when necessary.

I do appreciate the admirable legacy of gog to offer, preserve, restore and update classic old games.

I do not appreciate the intrusive gog galaxy app with features that always pop-up and wish to know how to permanently have that app run and update in the background, and only get launched when I choose to launch it.

Thank you kindly for any information that can successfully address these multiple gog galaxy issues.

Original GOG supporter

Was one of the first people to support GOG when it came out. As an older pc gamer. I’ve mostly used steam to this point. Being busy over this holiday I’ve only just read the news from blizzard pulling the og versions of Warcraft.

This makes me sad and it almost seems like companies are trying to punish their customers.

Thank you GOG.

I am not a big spender on games outside of steam so I barely used other platforms. But after I got prime gaming on November I saw they were giving away a lot of good games on GOG so I decided to finally give this platform a chance. Honestly I'm really impressed. Epic was a huge let down so seeing so many gems here DRM free and permanently on my library was an eye opener. The experience is so simple yet smooth. Really fast server speeds and simple installation. Honestly this just might be my new favourite platform now. Only thing that makes me a little hesitant is the pricing. If GOG gets regional pricing similar to steam on a global market I'm sure a lot of gamers would switch to here. Drop a comment on why you think GOG is awesome!

Can I return a game and buy it again immediately?

So, I bought Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. Something about the order seemed a bit weird though - first I got an error message, then it worked. The old order was still in my order list, so I removed it.

However, I didn't get a confirmation mail and it took several hours for the game to appear in GOG Galaxy.

I'm a bit worried now that something's been messed up, don't know whether to wait some hours or refund the game and try it again.

What should I do?

Warcraft 1 & 2 do not have purple Install Button at top like all the other games

I even went to GOG website and clicked the download button from there, which gave me an EXE file, but that only launches Galaxy and takes me to the Humans vs Orcs page. No Install, no download, no play. Nothing.

EDIT : The 2 games are not under "Owned Games" even though under Order History it shows I purchased them. Also they are under My Collection.

Can I stream GOG games to my mobile phone like Steam Link?

Basically I found some good deals on GOG and I like the application structure, never really used Steam as this is more or less my first time PC gaming.

Saw Cyberpunk on GOG and wanted to buy it but I tend to play video games on my mobile phone at night time right before bed via Xcloud and now Steam Link, does GOG have this option? Is it easy to set up? Thank you.

Star Wars: Battlefront II 2005 needs the Rhen Var, Bespin, Yavin Arena & Hero DLC added in!

Hear me out, I know that there is a Xbox DLC mod for the maps and the heroes. But it would be really nice if we were able to get those maps and Heroes (Kit Fisto & Asajj Ventress) natively in the game, giving players easy access to playing those maps in multiplayer. They did add in the Jabbas Palace map for BF1 2004 when it released on Steam/GOG.

The Classic Collection is pretty dead on PC and the OG BF games are now on sale for the first time since the CC was announced. More and more players are playing the OG games and I feel that it is crucial that the DLC gets added in via update (like they tried doing in February 2021).

Question about installing a second instance of a game

I'm trying to install Fallout 4, which I just bought on GOG Galaxy. I also have Fallout 4 installed through Steam. I'm doing this so I can have a second instance of Fallout 4, through which to play Fallout London.

Anyway, does anyone know if this is possible? I can't seem to find any way of installing it through GOG Galaxy. There's no install button, and all I can find is a button to Link Executable. Tips or suggestions please, thanks!

'Switching' over from Steam - help me save the most dollerz Amerikan.

I'm coming late to the game. As it were.

Including free games and things I won in online sweepstakes over the course of 10+ years, I have like 13,000 Steam games. The required play time is more than the life I have left in my husk of a person and my wife combined. It's stupid. I like options. Variety. Whatever.

I want to 'switch' to GoG for the rest of the games I buy. I recognize that I can have both, and I will - I just want the majority of my games to be on GoG, now, for obvious reasons (I at least want to be able to play the games I've bought during long periods of going offline).

This likely means that I'll re-purchase a ton, which is fine - with 13k games, I can't and don't care about most of them, anyway, and the ones I do care about are pretty cheap (and I expect will go on sale very soon if they aren't already), so I'm fine with that. Heck, I even still have some of these favorites in-box and don't need to repurchase - I'd just need to find a way to install and play them readily-enough without too much tweaking (Quest for Glory and other Sierra classics, Wing Commander, Blake Stone, Commander Keen, Deus Ex, etc, etc...).

Once upon a time, there was something that enabled us to carry over games from other platforms like Steam (in particular, I think) at a discount or for free. As far as Google tells me, this no longer exists. Fine.

To keep it brief, what are my best options - outside of setting sail - for carrying over or re-purchasing the games I have on Steam/EA/Epic/whatever, to GoG so I don't have to worry about DRM/being perpetually-online?

Overcooked 2 Bug

I just got a code for Overcooked 2 from Twitch Prime, but when I submitted the code into my account, it turned out to be a @#$%ing nightmare.

First I was met with an error. The game didn't show up in my client, but it did in my browser account. So I tried installing the game thinking it'll install on my client, but it couldn't because I had to close GOG (wut?). So I closed it, but it still kept saying I had to close it (so it was lying?).

So I restarted my computer, and then I tried installing the game only to find that it tried installing GOG even though I already had it on my PC. Basically nothing happened after that, so I went back to my download folder to try and install Overcooked 2 again (which I got from my browser), but all it does now is take me to Overcooked 2 in the GOG client, but there's no install or play button, but instead a View In Store button. So basically the game is in this weird state where I both own, and don't own the game at the same time, like they expect me to buy it despite getting a code for it.

So my only question is: WTF?!

Error During core initialization sequence

After a long time I decided to download some games and then I remembered that gog has nice feature of managing other platform games so I downloaded gog galaxy 2.0 and suddenly after login this error shows up :

https://preview.redd.it/utj8pd6y7h4e1.png?width=308&format=png&auto=webp&s=bbc5f9430eff17998ae640858ce30f5489eb543a

I did some research and someone there advised that we can remove "GOG.com" folder from the local but in my case the app gets stuck in this form:

If anyone have any knowledge of how to resolve his error please comment and no sarcastic memes or comment please !!
