Issues with GOG Galaxy

[LinguaOccultus]

Hello,

I am using CCEnhancer (https://singularlabs.com/software/ccenhancer/) and was told, this is the winapp2.ini file, it downloads.

Currently, there is an issue with the cleaning rule for Games/Galaxy. When using it, it removes also customizations for the list views of the GOG Galaxy client which is surely unintended. For example, hidden columns re-appear and sorting is reset also. It seems like the GOG Galaxy client writes those settings to a file which gets deleted with this rule. Unfortunately, I have not found out by now, which one. Aside that, it is completely reproducable and since I excluded this rule, everything is fine again.

Best regards,

Tim

Hi Tim,

I can repruduce your ussue. But I think it's the same with browser celaning ....

The rule deletes lokal settings for sorting the gamelist to default.

PS: Hidden games are hidden after cleaning.

I would suggest to creat a warning.

Best regards.

Hi,

I know that this game is always a trade-off between the stuff you want (like logs, caches, etc.) to delete and stuff you want to keep (like application settings, for example). Sometimes it is possible to separate them and create two rules instead which is why I wanted your attention on it.

Anyway, when not possible: yes, a warning should be placed since most users surely will want to keep their settings.

Hidden games seems to be my error and I am quite sure this is a global setting on the servers so they are not visible in the web library, too.

I come every now and them to a point like this and will report them in here directly now, so the CCEnhancer guy (Shawn or Shane?) does not have to forward them anymore! ;-)

Thanks and greetings,

Tim

Hi, So i think its one file in:

C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\webcache\common\Local Storage\leveldb

ExcludeKey1=PATH|%CommonAppData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\webcache\common\Local Storage\leveldb|*.*

On my pc 000003.log ....

We have to make more research.

Can you test it, pls?

The environment variable %CommonAppData% was apparently replaced by the variable %ProgramData% after the big overhaul. And with an ExcludeKey, the path should always end with \|.

The ExcludeKey should therefore look like this: ExcludeKey1=PATH|%ProgramData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\webcache\common\Local Storage\leveldb\|*

Hello,

thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I am on the road for a few days from work, so I cannot test this immediately ...

Thx, for the information but it's not noticed in the readme ...

I just noticed today that all %CommonAppData% have been replaced by %ProgramData%. 😄

[TZocker]

Next big search and replacement ? :D

Have you had time to test the ExcludeKey? Does it work as intended?

Sorry, misunderstood you here. Thought, I was meant to wait until this is released. I always check with CCEnhancer before each CCleaner use and since the warning also is still missing ...

Anyway, with the latest GOG Galaxy version this seems to work in a quick first test. Seems they really made some changes again, but the 2.0 version I am using is in beta for how many YEARS now? :-D So I guess, we will see changes here again.

Thank you for your reply. Then @TZocker can update his pull request https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/pull/949 accordingly.

[LinguaOccultus]

No worries; I will test again as soon as there is the warning implemented as I know then the rule is updated.
