*Mac OSX Galaxy 1.2.x addendum for this section, thanks to:ĭolcept: Mac OSX link for Galaxy 1.2.x (The "Good" Galaxy):Īfter you're done with all of it, you may have to import each of your games again, if you installed them to a custom path (which I did) rather than the default Galaxy suggested path. In case the update already happened, all you can do is.ġ) uninstall Galaxy, and reinstall v1.2 from an old setup (Link: hosted by GoG).Ģ) DON'T let Galaxy start automatically after the setup (untick the box).ģ) Then, before you start Galaxy, follow the other steps below. I deleted it after half a day, but I had to close the calculator about 4 times or so. Out of curiosity, I exchanged the GalaxyUpdater EXE with the Windows Calculator EXE, just to see how often it would be called. It was such a baffling concept to me, "why would anyone, ever". I've been with them from the early days and never ever in my entire life accepted or installed Steam, still remember a friend of mine showing it to me when it was new back in the day, and I hated it. MY machine, MY realm, GTFO.Įxtremely disappointed with GoG right now. I refuse to use a half baked, clu(s/t)terfuck of a client, especially when it's being forced. If anything breaks, I'll try to restore from my backups. So I clicked "Update later", then went ahead and disabled autostart, added "/runWithoutUpdating" to the shortcut, made a backup of the folders, then chopped off any and all files and folders that could be connected to the already downloaded update. Reading about how the client is, effectively, still very much a Beta, only confirmed my apprehension to update. Triggered by this, I did the research and, sure enough, the forum is full with absolutely fair outrage about it. Starting the game EXE directly, or with a manually created shortcut, won't start Galaxy. Doing so will start Galaxy first, which will then in turn update to v2.0 BETA. If you closed (quit) Galaxy after the prompt, DO NOT start a GoG game through the start menu shortcut. WARNING: Once you've received this popup, the next time you restart Galaxy, you will be forcibly updated to the v2.0 BETA. That's pretty much Microsoft newspeak for "Yes" and "Yes". I noticed the Update prompt mentioning "Beta", despite me having unchecked the participate in Beta checkbox in Galaxy 1.2 settings, and the prompt had me chose between "Update" and "Update later".
