noob question: When I click on a large game on my library, and then on 'offline backup game installers', I get several chunks to download (part 1, part 2 etc). This doesn't happen with Galaxy.

So am I expected to worry about several downloads instead of a single click, if I choose the 1st way?
Cheers!

Nice! Now *this* is what I always imagined when you first talked about separating installers into Galaxy and classic. Thanks for making it easier for both groups.


That's right. The backup installers are limited in size so for larger games you may have several files to download to get all the game data.

Kudos to all of you guys for your work!

It seems that you're setting everything up perfectly to celebrate the site's tenth anniversary, now it would remain "only" to modernize a little the forum, keep up the good work!

I see, thought it'd be more streamlined. Thanks for clarifying

*gag* i hate that site.

On the flipside, they didn't do it in the same way, and the "offline installers" are more accessible, now, and the whole setup is far less confusing. I would call it an overall victory, but the name "web installer" bothers me because of that site. XD
My reply disappeared...

Anyway, i'm glad, though, that the bundled installers are gone. The offline installers are still there, so it's not quite like them, yet. The name makes me afraid, but overall it's a dramatic improvement, now.

The change save the manpower of GOG.
GOG never can maintain their installers in a reliable way, even before they introduced the Galaxy-bundled installers.
Now they do not have to maintain two different sets of installers. I hope they will improve their internal workflow and packaging guideline.

What you say now scares me again: could they go the way of gamersgate in the future just to have a universal install method? If they could package it in way that works offline and doesn't actually install galaxy itself, i wouldn't care. Actually, the idea of gog writing their own custom installer that they can rely on is a good idea, overall. They could further streamline production of the offline installers and move on to focus on other things, since presumably the new installer method would be far more reliable than the inno setup.

GOG, could you please make the "Download and Install" banner bigger, I cant read it...

Really, make it smaller. This is ridiculous.

This is a much, much better way to implement the "classic vs galaxy" installers options. Thank you.

Okay, huge improvement. Cool beans.

I can't see any "Download and Install" button for any game in my library. Where is it supposed to be?

It looks like you're using custom scripts and styles, try disabling them.

Yup, that did the trick. Thanks.

Adblock works just fine for making that ridiculously oversized blue button disappear, for those of you that are so inclined.
