Trying to get Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition co-op working with my daughter on two Windows 11 PCs on the same home network. I actually bought a new Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 gaming laptop (~$1200) specifically to introduce her to D&D through NWN2, so I’m getting pretty frustrated at this point.

Current status:

• Both machines are running GOG versions of NWN2:EE
• Exact same game version confirmed
• No mods installed
• Both machines can HOST games
• Both machines can SEE hosted games in LAN browser
• Direct Connect reaches the server
• But joining always fails after ~20–30 seconds with:
  • “Server is not responding (timed out)”
  • or “Unknown connection error”

Things already tested:

• Allowed NWN2 through Windows Firewall
• Enabled DirectPlay
• AVG exceptions added on one machine
• Tested with passwords ON/OFF
• Tested Cross-Platform ON
• Tested “Post Game To Internet” ON/OFF
• Tested hosting from BOTH computers
• Tested Direct Connect using local IPv4 addresses
• Tested RadminVPN virtual LAN using 26.x.x.x addresses
• Verified same versions/no mods

Interesting detail:
LAN discovery works perfectly — the actual gameplay handshake seems to fail.

I also submitted a support ticket to GOG.

Next thing I’m planning to test tonight:

• completely disabling Windows Firewall on BOTH machines temporarily
• testing again over RadminVPN

Another theory someone suggested:
Both PCs are logged into the SAME GOG account. Could GOG multiplayer/session authentication be rejecting simultaneous connections from one account?

At this point I’m honestly starting to wonder whether GOG/Galaxy itself is the issue and am even considering rebuying the game on Steam just to see if multiplayer behaves differently there.

For days now, the GOG Galaxy store and the browser store haven't been working for me. No games appear for me to buy; I only get a message saying, "No results were found matching your criteria." I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this or has experienced it, or if there's a solution. Help!

Note: If you see any misspelled words, it's because of the translator, as I'm Latin American, but this is the only GOG website I know.

I bought it last night and having played games at 120+ fps, the locked 30fps of SH4 felt like slogging through mud. Plus the controller support is unusable. Am I missing something?

I just bought a bunch of games and the games never loaded into my owned games catalogue. There was a bar that said "Importing GoG - 63%" and it was stuck at that percent the whole time. I couldn't download any of the games and the download button wasn't even there in the menu when you click on the games. I emailed GoG and only got a bot email with a link saying it would refresh my library but it didn't even do that. It just opened up GoG again. I decided to ask for refunds and now I'm currently waiting for them. I've also tried to uninstall GoG but the uninstall program in my files keeps saying that it's still running even though it's not.

Ok, so yesterday, I made a GOG account for the first time and added a few games to my wishlist. Owning what I purchase is a huge deal for me, and it's something most online game stores or even movies/TV shows, music, and book stores don't usually do. After seeing a lot of good reviews and seeing how the game distribution system works for GOG, I decided to make an account for when I eventually decided to buy the games on my wishlist...mostly LEGO games (yes I'm autistic lmao), but I've also added the Batman: Arkham series (except Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, glad it's not there cause it's shit), the original versions of the first three Resident Evil games plus the 2005 remake of the first game (wish they added more of the games), Undertale (wish they add Deltarune soon), Stardew Valley, and lastly I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (main reason I made a GOG account in the first place lmao).

Now, onto the main question in this post's title, how does the game preservation work? Usually, when a game isn't available on GOG, it's added to something called a Dreamlist where people can vote on the game, so it gets a chance of being selected so it gets preserved, at least...that's how I understand it. My question is, do games on the Dreamlist need a certain number of votes for them to be considered by GOG to be added to their preservation? If so, how many votes are we talking about? I also think it has to do with GOG obtaining the rights to distribute a game on their store, and some companies don't usually want you to own what you spend $20-60+ on, so that also another potential reason. Idk ya'll tell me.

I personally think it's terrible news.
Sony has fantastic games.

How do you think this will affect Sony games on GOG?

Do you believe the games will be removed from the stores?
Do you think the games mentioned here still have a chance of coming to GOG?

I'm aware that there isn't a lot to hope for here considering I'm talking about a piece of hardware created by the major GOG competitor, but I've been wondering about this since it is technically a third party controller like many others and GOG is already supporting a lot of third party controllers natively.

I'm not talking about custom support or more advanced functionalities like trackpads or gyro, of course, but just matching the standard controller behavior for all the other many third party controllers that they already introduced to games such as the classic Capcom games (RE, DC, BoF), something that the new Steam Controller can do (unlike the original one).

What do you think, fever dream, or they might do it (if not as patches, then for future game releases that introduce controller support similarly to their previous Preservation Program games)?

Also yes, I know I can just run GOG games through Steam (which I already did in the past to make my Dualshock 4 work), but it would be a welcome feature to have native support without needing to have Steam as the middle-man, you know?

For me, I really love Harvester, Phantasmagoria, and IHNMAIMS. I was too young and not computer-savy so never had a chance to play them back when they were contemporary. I was so excited on the day Harvester became available on GOG. Still waiting for Dark Seed…

Would love to hear what others have discovered with GOG.

Every time I download games through GOG Galaxy I get a network connection error. It works fine with games smaller than 1GB but the problem appears with larger ones. The quick connect option doesn't work well either since it happens again and again. That's why the safest way to get my games for me is to download them directly through the GOG website and install them manually. Am I the only one experiencing that annoying problem with GOG Galaxy?

After I enter my correct username and password at the gog login site, a new page loads that shows my correct username along with three options to reset my password, reset my email address and reset my user name. When I click on my username, nothing happens at all. A new page taking me to my account on gog doesn't load.

I am using Chrome and I cleared all my cookies/data, restarted my phone and even used Firefox browser to login only to find the same issue occurring. Any help is appreciated.

lmaooo. Anyway, is there any way to fix this? I've tried adding Sanitarium via "Add game" button, but the only thing showing up is scummvm's status window. Sanitarium doesn't show up at all. I'm on Windows 11.

Every month, we see several posts offering GOG game codes and discount codes that people do not intend to use themselves. To make this easier and more organized, we ask that you share your code(s) as top-level comments on this post.

Ex:

Or

Discount code giveaway for Game Name:

To be extra sure your code goes to a fellow GOG gamer and not a bot, list the game(s) you have keys for and ask Redditors to DM you to claim them. In this case, please make it very clear whether your codes are game codes or discount codes.

You're also welcome to use RedditRaffler or KeyShare.

Please follow these guidelines:

• Do leave a comment when you claim a code so others know it is no longer available.
• Don't post plain codes, as bots will most likely claim them for resale rather than fellow GOG gamers.
• Don't add a discussion in a top-level comment. Respond to an existing code or use the pinned moderator comment.

They announced it was going to release on GOG alongside Steam in the release date trailer some time ago, but there wasn't a dedicate page for it until now.
