The unintentional and constant opening of Facebook page happens again. Looks like the bug is not totally fixed.
Whenever I get any Notifications and click on "Clear All" my client freeze for thirty seconds and then crash...
My Galaxy client has stopped trying to open unauthorized Facebook pages. Thanks for stomping on that one so quickly, GOG!
Can you run Galaxy offline kike you can Steam if something is wonky with yuour internect connection, but you still want to launch a game through Galaxy until the problem is fixed?

Yes, absolutely. And it will even still count your gaming time. The only things that will not work off connection are, obviously, cloud-save and game update.

So are we going to be able to have games that we have installed via other launchers like Steam and Windows Store/XBGP for PC?

I have scanned everything in my drive and specific folders, and many of the games are on GOG too but they don't end up scanning. I even tried Wiutcher 3's specific folder, but I got it through Steam so IDK. I just want one laaauncherrrr lol

If you're using Galaxy 1.2, scanning will add installed GOG games. To have all your games in GOG GALAXY, you have to get the 2.0 version, which is in closed beta right now. https://gogalaxy.com/
