You unfortunatly can't rename it, just like the other permanent launcher bookmarks - Recent, All games, Downloads, etc. Present in the Interface tab is another option, which allows you to show or hide the bookmark for the store in the left sidebar, bookmark labeled Featured. The sidebar option is also accompanied by the disclaimer that you won't see this UI element if the window width is below 1501px. If you try to do that now, it simply says that "The integration for Steam does not offer chat".įor those who don't like this, it can be both collapsed via a simple UI element near the window controls, as well as turned off in Settings under the Interface tab. On the subject of cross-platform chat, once that is implemented, you should be able to send your friend on Steam (as an example) a message straight from Galaxy 2.0. Friends from other platforms do not show up if you click the Friends online bookmark in the left sidebar, an ability which is linked to the cross-platform chat feature of the launcher. It currently works for friends that are online or playing a game. This feature will allow you to see what your friends are playing on other platforms without needing to open a specific launcher. Specifically, this appears if the client width exceeds 1500px - which is perhaps also why the default width of the Galaxy 2.0 window has been increased to 1740px. While you could invoke a separate friends list window before, this is more integrated into the main UI than the list.
#UPDATE GOG GALAXY UPDATE#
Make sure to check out everything that's been added in the mini gallery below.Ī fairly interesting new feature in this update is the Friends Sidebar which appears on the right. The brightness of the input field has now been tweaked so that it blends in nicely with the rest of the search module.

On a similar note, if you navigate to the library page of a game you happen to have on multiple platforms, the selector at the top will show the actual name of the title, not just the logo for the platform.Īnother quality of life improvement concerns the Global Search feature added in the Atlas Update (v 2.0.9) back in September.

It behaves very much like the already existing one for account management, with the sidebar on the left staying in place and the contents on the right changing to display the relevant page.īeyond that, the update also adds fixes related to the List view, now showing in parentheses the number of games in a stack, which is relevant for those titles you own on multiple platforms. Moving on to the more minor tweaks, there's now a link in the avatar dropdown menu that takes you straight to your order history page on GOG. In terms of additions, the most noticeable will probably be the new Share top-level link, though we'll cover that in its own separate section. UI tweaksĪs opposed to previous patches, this one doesn't bring in too many major UI additions, however, it does polish some of the existing UI elements.

The post will be split into four distinct sections, covering various UI tweaks, the Friends Sidebar, the ability to share your game stats via social media, and lastly changelog and known issues.
