"I'm also having trouble with updating to the latest version of Galaxy. It constantly asks me to update, but the update always fails. I've contacted them about it too."

This is happening to me too. Been like 2 weeks.

revco, I finally heard back from them today. They gave me a direct link to the update which downloaded just fine. I haven't installed it yet being kind of nervous that it's going to jack up all my downloaded games as it did for a couple of other people here!

Good luck, Draclvr 🤞🤞🤞

Well this makes me nervous. I haven’t downloaded from GOG in awhile. Not looking forward to issues!!! Will watch this thread closely. Good luck Drac

So, I took my Elven sword into battle and did the update last night. It went perfectly and I didn't lose any installed games. Whew!

Fab !!!!

Great news, Drac!

Cool. Let us know how it goes...

Revco, I posted earlier today... So far, so good!

So, I was able to successfully update to 2.0.58 with the link they sent me. I expressed some concern about my games being deleted and I got this email this morning...

When clicking on the following link: https://content-system.gog.com/open...lient/2.0.58.4/setup_galaxy_2.0.58.4.exe, the closed beta version 2.0.58.4 of GOG GALAXY will be downloaded onto your device.

While installing the update from the provided file will not delete the games that you have currently installed on your device, there is a very small chance that the launcher will de-sync itself during the installation, which will then make it appear that the games that you have had previously installed on your device will have to re-downloaded. That can be easily fixed by simply re-syncing your game library by doing the following:

> Launch GOG GALAXY
> Click cog icon at the top left corner
> Select "add games & friends" > "Scan folders for GOG Games"
> Select folder where your games have been installed

Good to know, Draclvr so thanks for sharing

[Happily, I am fine with my Galaxy games as they are now all "fully" in place.]

WOW.... Good info Drac! I copied this so if I run into a problem, I have the info. thanks They seem to be having issues lately,.

Thank you Draclvr. I didn't realize clicking your link would actually start the download but it all went well and I am updated intact.

Yeah, initially missed the "when you click on this link, your download will start" too! At least you are updated and good to go!

I just reinstalled Skyrim on Gog cross fingers so no problem but I hope it sorts itself out for you Mad, oldbroad, Draclvr & petert

Hi Taintedfury 🙂

All my Galaxy games are fine now 👍
(And my initial problem with Skyrim was months ago, when I originally bought it, but that was soon sorted.)

Hi Mad

Good to hear all your games including Skyrim are working on Gog & it didn't take long..


I love Skyrim and i was rapped when it became available on Gog....happy gaming

I finally got another direct link to the most recent GOG update. This one is "supposed" to fix the problems with the updates not working.

https://content-system.gog.com/open...lient/2.0.60.2/setup_galaxy_2.0.60.2.exe

Thanks. I didn't know there is another update. I haven't opened up anything that uses Galaxy lately, but will check it out when I get a chance.

I have been experiencing maybe the same issue with updates. I do not know. I get this note everytime I start the computer:

"GOG Galaxy Update Problem

There was a problem with updating the application.
You can always download the latest version from:

Gives me this link "

In reading this thread I have held off on installing what appears to be reinstalling GOG Galaxay as a whole per the "update problem link" I get. Is this what I should do? I have opened up the link you gave Draclvr. Does that link install GG as a whole like the link I have posted. Worried about loosing purchased / downloaded games

Following your link I get this:

"Setup has detected that GG is currently running. Please close all instances of it now.".

I have GG running all the time in the Task Bar. Do I "log off" or remove the icon from the Task Bar....or BOTH

Hm. My GOG doesn't seem to need updating yet. I don't have GOG as a start up program. Sometimes there is interference with other programs.

Orion, this is a known issue with GOG updates. What you need to do is open up Task Manager and close all instances of GOG processes running in the background.

Hi Draclvr.

Following your advice, I used Task Manager to remove all GOG related stuff and then used the update link you provided in your earlier post.
But it failed to work for me.
I just got an error message - which I didn't even understand !!

So then I tried using the link I had repeatedly been getting when I booted up my machine (Win 10).

That worked fine. All my GOG stuff was reinstated and Galaxy is again working as it should. All games and the progress of them present and correct.

So I am now wondering why your link didn't work for me ....

Very odd indeed. It was a direct link to the update sent to me by GOG support. Who knows! It worked for Hagatha.
