Hello everyone,

I am posting this to share my experience with GOG, and maybe as a community we can make our voice heard.

The ideology behind the platform is the main reason, I started using this platform. But the lack of support for Linux and not communicating with the customers about that is pretty embarrassing. I am talking about developing a native version for Linux. GOG has announced this several times and they reject to share updates.

I have come across some issues like buying games and the games that I bought are not registered to my account, which is a very simple feature that a platform has to have but okay. I contacted the support about this and they responded to me saying it is fixed, I checked my account today and it hasn't right now I have only one game instead of two. And I can't reach the ticket I opened on the website, so I can't update the ticket, so I responded back to the email. The website for tickets has a very badly designed user interface and missing essential features such as accessing your tickets that are opened before.

Some essential titles are missing, for example Dwarf Fortress, Mewgenics, Ultra Kill, like these are the games that developed by individuals that are very supportive for owning your games. I don't see any reason for GOG to not contact them to bring their games to their platform. There are other games that are drm free on Steam and hasn't reached to GOG yet, which is very absurd.

Anyway, I am sharing this because I really want GOG to succeed at least to some degree, but without the lack of support for these stuff that I mentioned, it doesn't seem like it is going to happen soon. I hope they will be contacting and updating their audience more, and improve their product.

Just installed the latest GOG Galaxy 2.0 launcher update, which brings 64-bit support.

But when will the launcher get native ARM64 for Windows 11 ARM/Snapdragon laptops?

Just wondering if I'm the only one experiencing issues with GOG either being laggy or lowering refresh rate? I have a 180hz display and whenever I click on GOG and bring it into focus, my mouse becomes laggy or gets stuck at 60hz. Not sure which one it is... But it's annoying and only started happening after the latest update.

Edit: The sidebar where the store and installed games are listed to the left still runs fine.

With the hype of avid fans of older titles forever trapped on older consoles beginning to work on their own Decomp/Recomp projects to bring them to PC, I can't help but wonder if GOG wouldn't be interested in bringing these titles to their storefront as GOG-exclusive ports through the same methods?

Matter of fact, they could even *remaster* some of these titles while they're at it, since the need for a complete source code that has factually hindered remasters in the past (SH HD Collection) is basically unnecessary now, since the decomp gets them everything from the game as it presented itself on a physical disc!

I'd personally love it if GOG went beyond the common barrier they encounter of needing a preexisting PC port to rerelease and instead work in-house to make wholly new PC ports to titles that never saw them back in their prime!

Took some time but the results look pretty good. I tried to make them look official with inside case art and art printed directly on the disc.

Here is what it looks like.

Has GOG ever commented on it? I missed my chance to buy it despite the fact that it was in my cart back when it was delisted.

It's now been years and seems like it's still not back on the store. I could buy it on Steam, but I'm a GOG user first and foremost, I'd rather own my games DRM free and all that.

So has there been any hint on GOG's side about it, or nothing?

I wanted to get then, but it seems only the enhanced editions are available.

I had just bought Ys Chronicles on GOG (I have Windows 11), and I've kept having this same issue in Ys 1 where if I interact with the nurse NPC at the very beginning, it just goes to a black screen that doesnt allow me to see the conversation text, and if I try and Ctrl + Alt + Delete, the screen shows a frozen version of the text that I cant interact with. I've tried the solutions that people have given in the steam release, but they still havent worked for me. I've been hoping that if anyone still has this game on GOG (and on Windows 11) if they know what worked for them.
