Beta seems to be down for the moment?
Edit: Got in just now.

Check your library on GOG, the Beta just appeared for me.
Company professes to advocate DRM-free games . . . requires seemingly arbitrary sign-up process to access company's client.
Seems reasonable.
It's a beta. It does seem reasonable.Company professes to advocate DRM-free games . . . requires seemingly arbitrary sign-up process to access company's client.

Updated, achievements are there (on some games) and the chat is there but it's limited.
Still beta of course but they are improving fast now and the basic features are there. Good job GOG
What games were they? Is it just newer games that have achievements?
I've asked for an email like 2-3 times now over the last day and nothing shows up. Nothing in my library. Cmon GOG get your shit together. Could someone just host a mirror or something?
TW2 only, but most of my games were released before achievements become a thing.
Phew. Restarting the alpha client for the tenth time worked.
So yeah. It seems like the update is also rolled out in a staggered way. Just wait and occasionally restart your client.
Same here. I have eleven games in my GOG Games folder but GOG Galaxy only recognizes Grim Fandango Remastered and The Witcher Adventure Game Beta, which i've apparently forgot to uninstall.Just got my invitation and looks pretty slick. For some reason however the scan only finds a handfull of the GoG games on my hard drive. Has anyone else this problem?

Thanks. Was hopping they might add some to the older titles like Witcher 1 . I imagine that would have been too much work though.
Heroes V and Assassins Creed are the newest GOG games I own. Will be interesting to see if they have anything.
achievements should be patched and I gues they are pretty busy already with The Witcher 3 and Galaxy, I suppose they'll patch them later.
Same for the third party developers.
It'd be awesome if they were able to magically add achievements to classic games. TIE Fighter with cheevos would be a blast.
Clearly not going to happen though
The only think they can do without some work is add achievements like: "You have played GameY X hours"
gog staff said:HOW TO IMPORT EXISTING GAMES INSTALLATIONS INTO GALAXY
1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the "+" button on top of the sidebar and select "scan and import folders" - it will find all compatible games within that folder and add them to the Client.
2. For remaining GOG game INSTALLATIONS
Find the game in the Library, then click the More button and select "Manage" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.
I was wondering that myself, but the then i stumbled on it earlier by accident. lolI think we need to put this thread on the gog forums into the OP.
Not only because there's a bunch of alpha info, but mainly because of things like this:
== FEATURE SUGGESTIONS ==
Please use: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy. For feature suggestions and votes on them please try do explain how Galaxy and its users will really benefit from it.
== BUG REPORTING ==
Please use: http://mantis.gog.com and include
1. steps to reproduce the bug (if possible)
2. screenshot or movie showing the bug (if possible)
3. Galaxy Client logs (see below)
Where can I find Galaxy logs on my computer?
On Windows Vista or later: C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\Logs
On Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\GOG.com\Galaxy\Logs
On Mac OS X: /Users/Shared/GOG.com/Galaxy/Logs
== KNOWN ISSUES ==
- few games are not yet compatible with Galaxy and are marked accordingly on Library page
- games not compatible with your current operating system cannot be accessed from the Library page
- when starting with the OS, Client doesn’t start minimised
- back / forward navigation is only available in Store section and requires further work
- pausing downloads or throttling max download speed is not yet possible
- notifications related to incoming chat messages and friend requests does not always disappear instantly when consumed and may require reloading Store page
- games imported from existing installations will auto-update once, even if updating is disabled
- games installed in Galaxy alpha 0.6 that included DLC may require a full game reinstall in the beta
- reinstalling Galaxy (Windows) to a different folder than the initial install will cause an error
- Moving Galaxy from /Applications on Mac OS X will stop the app from working
- Galaxy cannot be launched by other users on the same computer
- UI is currently available in English only but occasional quirks may happen where “download extras” list is displayed in another language
- option to change currency and some other settings aren’t yet accessible in the Galaxy
- PayPal payment window sometimes does not show properly on Windows
The one thing that's kinda stupid right now is that you can't manually add friends.
Completely agree with you on both point.The one thing that's kinda stupid right now is that you can't manually add friends.
You have to click on a user/avatar on the page somewhere. Since I have never posted anything (review or forum post) on the page, it would basically be impossible to add me as a friend right now.
Other than that, I really like it. It's fast, it's sleek, the interface makes total sense for the most part... good stuff.
Nope, they don't have nearly as many titles and their sales are lame in comparison. Also add the fact that steam has some of the most popular MP games in the world I doubt it would make much of a dent.Galaxy is gonna goddamn steamroll Steam.
anyway to get in the beta besides waiting?

I received a beta invite a few hours after it appeared in my games list. I'm not certain that the key will work but the first person to quote my post gets it.
