Hi, I have a question for those of you who have made backups on Blu-ray.
I currently have a backup on an external hard drive, but I want to make another copy on Blu-ray. I’m not sure if it’s worth it to go with Blu-ray M-Disc (which is more expensive) or to use regular Blu-ray (which I’d have to check every so often to make sure the disc is ok).
The cost would be: 25 GB M-Disc for 5.93 € Standard 50 GB for 1.05 €
Obviously, the standard disc wins on price, but of course, it also deteriorates more quickly.
Thanks for reading.
The main improvements they have made:
181 GOG v2 (18 August 2026)
Implemented a lightweight wrapper to resolve modern hardware incompatibilities.
Added native widescreen and ultrawide support for all modern resolutions and aspect ratios.
Implemented camera scaling that automatically adjusts the field of view (FOV) based on monitor aspect ratio.
Added a multi-monitor mouse lock option to confine the cursor to the game window.
Added an FPS limiter to lock the frame rate to a chosen value.
Introduced a lightweight, real-time in-game overlay (press F11 to open, ESC to close) for instant adjustments to FPS limits and FOV multipliers.
Locked the main menu to its original 4:3 bounds to preserve hard-coded UI assets.
Capped the manual FOV slider at roughly 110% on ultrawide displays to prevent engine stretching and graphical glitches.
Verified stability.
and physical for my future PS5 games. Because games deserve to be preserved for the future!
Hey everyone,
I created a hobby project that's kind of specific for what I wanted to achieve, but maybe others can benefit from it too.
On GOG you buy a licence like on any other store, but you also get DRM-free offline installers that are yours forever for every game you buy. I wanted to start burning discs and kinda recreate the "real" experience we had back in the good old days. You insert a CD, double click the icon in "My Computer (This PC)" and then the game menu starts. It has options like "Install", "Play", "Extras" etc and usually some background music.
To do that, a lot of manual stuff has to be done so I thought let's automate that. So I created an "App" which is currently more of a POC or Alpha phase but you will get the idea.
You point it at the folder where you downloaded your GOG game, then add a Disc Icon, Background Image, Background Music, Extras etc. The app then creates a DISC folder with an ISO file that you can burn to disc. So the app itself does not burn to disc but it prepares everything else and you can use your app of choice to burn to disc.
To be clear about what this is for: use it with games you own, to make copies for yourself. That's personal backup, and it's exactly what GOG's DRM-free installers are for. GOG have posted about burning games to DVD themselves. It is not for making discs to sell, give away, or share outside your household.
I also got a Blu-ray writer/reader and a printer that can print directly on discs, and I make paper covers for the cases. Happy to share what hardware and settings I use if anyone's curious, just ask in the comments.

Windows only, runs on Windows PowerShell 5.1 (the one already in Windows, not PowerShell 7). MIT licensed, free, nothing to install, no telemetry.
I get that there are similar tools out there, but this was made specifically for what I wanted and only the basics. Simple as possible, no "unnecessary" options etc.
If anyone wants to do the same feel free to try it, any feedback is appreciated.
P.S. I'm a software engineer, but the last time I worked with Windows Forms was at college like 10 years ago XD So this project is 100% AI coded at least for now
Cheers
EDIT: Thanks for all the ideas! I've written them down so they don't get lost when this thread scrolls away.
Roadmap: https://github.com/lazardjokovic/discwright/blob/main/ROADMAP.md
Requests are best filed as GitHub Issues, I'll see them there long after this thread is gone: https://github.com/lazardjokovic/discwright/issues
It's been a great run - I've got close to 200 free games from my brother every month for the last couple of years via his Prime Gaming account.
Seems this month it's winding down? There are only offering announced through August 13.
Because I'm struggle at launching game in modern hardware.I wish port to gog one day.
I have noticed that there is a weekly code giveaway thread and I think that a weekly thread where members can vote on what cover art they want could be a good idea also. It could give a few days to a week to allow voting, and then another week for cover art to be made.
I feel bad filling up the main page with art and I am personally interested in taking requests as long as it's in an organized manner. This could also be fun because once a new cover is voted on, multiple people would have the opportunity to work on it, giving plenty of options.
The hard part would be setting up polls, which I'm unsure is even possible on Reddit, and also deciding which games make it into those polls. Also, I know we were thinking of getting a megathread going, so it might just fit in there anyways.
If anyone has thoughts on this, please let me know.
The game shows the title screen and the first unskippable cinematics, but just when it's my turn to control the character, a sudden error appears, no matter if default Proton, or Experimental or any GE-proton. Has anyone else experience this? Any workarounds you have tried?
Edit: Updated the Kernel and somehow now it works....uhmmm
Hello everyone, just wanted to share this thing that I really appreciate about platform. I am sure I am not the only one.
I have a problem with spending money, and buying a lot of useless stuff. Before mainly using GOG like most I was on Steam, and the integrated social system, awards, constantly need to being on the launcher, being online, seeing what my friends buy, and even if I wouldn't play those I bought more and more. Games that are not mine.
I bought the TES series from GOG first, and I actually started playing. Games stopped being just these names on library, I started experience them like my childhood. Just clicking the icon, opening the game, and playing. With no distractions. I know technically I could be offline on Steam or choose to not use the other social aspects. But it nudged me in the wrong way. I always find a way to start using those.
Right now I played 20-30 hours on last couple of weeks. More then any game I played on Steam on last years. And I am not constantly spending money on games I won't play. I just explore Morrowind. And the game is completely mine, there was a satisfaction when I copied those offline installers to my external disk, created folders, make my own classic library.
Just wanted to share that, thanks to anyone who read this. Much appreciation to the GOG!
Hate to put this out now, as we have a lot of cases floating around at the moment, but I need to let it loose. I think that megathread would be a good idea after all.
I added small 'serifs' to the line border beneath the GOG banner at the top of the front cover, but I'm not sure if they make it look better or worse. I also went for a lot of in-game graphics on the spine. There were a lot of iconic images to pick from.
At this point I'm trying to find what the template is still missing. There is a lot of info you can add to games like this, like original release year or console, but I want to strike a balance between information and style.
I hope you guys enjoy this one!
Title. Need to help find some good JRPG's that you can keep forever (GOG store). Thank you!
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:
Game code giveaway for Game Name:
YEC8U25J3A**FEF0C3
** = 32-15
Or
Discount code giveaway for Game Name:
YEC8U25J3A**FEF0C3
** = 32-15
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:
Since everybody is sharing their projects and since I have been working on this for a while, I'm also going to share mine.
I have been going for a universal template that I can adjust for any game while using the original front/back/spine art.
After a few iterations, I have reached a point where I'm happy and can start applying it to my collection.
The space on the back may seem a bit empty, but it is for a good reason. Some games have a much taller back section (I am covering the original requirements section), or some have recommended system requirements as well , so in order to keep it universal, I had to leave a bit more space.
Creations of others have been a great inspiration (especially u/w_j_bart).
The template is still not very user-friendly, so I'll be working on this in the meantime. I'm still open to suggestions, so if you have any, feel free to comment. 🔥
Why doesn't GOG have the new Quake expansion on their storefront?
Hi everyone! Recently, after the Sony controversy with physical media, I've been building my Steam library on GOG. I've noticed it's quite common for GOG users to put their games on physical media, and I'd like some ideas, like, how do you handle games that are almost 200GB, like Baldur's Gate 3? Do you use SD cards, flash drives?
Any news on the new episode of Quake coming to gog?
Hey guys, I’m looking for some recommendation for classic games from ps3 era (or older) with controller support as I play on a handheld device (legion go 2).
Let me know some of your favourites please
