#GOG GALAXY STARTUP WINDOWS#

Windows 8, 8.1, 10: Right-click -> Open file location.

Windows 7: Simply right-click -> copy, then paste anywhere you like.

Simply open the Start Menu and start typing the name of your game, for instance Dark Souls if you want a shortcut to your death.ДЇrom here, copying the shortcut to your desktop shouldn't be much more difficult than beating Zelda 2, though different OS and OS versions will require different methods. Since GOG, unlike Steam, doesn't put shortcuts in a shared Start Menu folder, you'll have to search for it. If you've already installed the game and missed the opportunity to create a desktop shortcut, fret not: GOG will have automatically created a shortcut in your Start Menu.

#GOG GALAXY STARTUP INSTALL#

That would, indeed, be a bit easier.It seems that the feature has either been removed from the settings at some point (either accidentally, or for a reason), or was planned but not yet added.Д¬urrently you can choose to create a shortcut the moment you install the game, like in the following screenshot: 'The new store inside GOG Galaxy operates like any other store,' the company told us. Though since this is a substore GOG are running, it'll offer GOG's 30-day refund policy rather than Epic's 14-day one.

#GOG GALAXY STARTUP DOWNLOAD#

According to reader Anbear, you can go straight to the вЂConfigureвЂ™ menu and check the DLC boxes you require to get them to download and install. Until I have a go myself, see how all the bits integrate, I'm not sure quite how excited I should be by this. Disable вЂњread onlyвЂќ (and do a backup of the file if youвЂ™re nervous about your custom settings) before installing.Д®dit 28 May: Judging by some of the comments below it seems like I was making this harder than it needed to be. You should see a product named Build Creator, click it and youвЂ™ll be taken to the game card for this product. If you have your ttings file on вЂњread onlyвЂќ (due to tweaks,) the DLC wonвЂ™t activate properly. With the granted access to the GOG Developer Portal, launch your GOG GALAXY client and log in to your GOG account there. If you want to mix and match, the вЂConfigureвЂ™ drop-down tab (as also shown in the image above) should let you toggle the installed DLC with checkboxes. Yes, you need to install each one manually from here.Дo that, and the DLC should finally be active in the game next time you load up. Click that to be taken to a local folder with your various DLC. Over on the dark grey left-hand side of GOG Galaxy, where you now have a little list of the recently downloaded Witcher 3 DLC bits, hover over one of them and find the spy-glass icon. That seems like it should be the final stage, but actually it isnвЂ™t. If you get a weird вЂDisk access errorвЂ™ message for any of them (like I did,) just try again and it should eventually go through. Find the DLC offerings in the list (new mission, extra haircuts for Geralt and the like) and click on each one to download them. This should give you a big olвЂ™ list of extras down the right-hand side of the page.

To actually install and activate these things in the game, click the вЂMoreвЂ™ tab on the game page (as shown below) and go to вЂBackup & Extras.вЂ™

#GOG GALAXY STARTUP FREE#

On GOG GalaxyвЂ™s Witcher 3 page you should see a $0.00 вЂFree DLC ProgramвЂ™ offering under вЂAdditional ContentвЂ™ (not the expansion pass, that one costs money.) вЂBuyвЂ™ this free package through the checkout process. HereвЂ™s a short guide.ДЇirst of all, make sure youвЂ™re actually signed up for the free Witcher 3 DLC to begin with. Since I only just figured it out, IвЂ™m going to assume others might be in the same situation. ThatвЂ™s all fine and dandy, but actually installing and activating these DLC bits through GOG Galaxy is a bit convoluted (it is still in beta, after all.) Today, The Witcher 3 has got a couple more of the sixteen planned bits of freebie DLC a new mission and a different outfit for Yennefer.
