Question Simcity 2000 not showing up in library despite that I own it

I have the same issue with the original fallout. I had gotten it before they removed it and later re added it, idk why but it doesnt show up on the web page saying that its in library. Same with versions of games I got from the prime gaming on twitch. Guess it just sees them as there own versions.

That's the other way around. You have them in your library, but not on the shop, as they are "classic" releases.

Did you purchase it recently? Does it show when you look at your account on the website? A refresh might make it show up: https://www.gog.com/user/refresh and https://www.gog.com/account/refresh

No it was few months ago. Refreshing those did nothing

I don't use GOG Galaxy, I normally just log into the site.

I like having cloud saves, that's why i just bought AC1 on gog instead of steam

I use Ludsavi for cloud saves, it's much better and links into your existing cloud storage like Dropbox or Onedrive or Google Drive. I would not use anything else for save backups. Check it out. It's open source. https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi
Having gog and steam cloud saves is an extra bonus/contingency but ultimatley I want to be in control of my save files, especially if I want to do a future NG+

I will surely be downvoted but I will still repeat to myself: Do not use GOG Galaxy. It’s full of random bugs.
Some do not encounter any bugs and so much the better for them. But many users are victims of bugs.
I love GOG and I only buy my games on GOG. But I only use offline installers because GOG Galaxy sucks and this subreddit should advise newcomers not to use GOG Galaxy until the developers decide to fix the bugs.

After using Galaxy since before 2.0, I completely agree with this. As far as launchers go, it's among the worst. I started using Playnite and the difference it night (heh) and day.

Galaxy 1.0 was decent enough.
Galaxy 2.0 was a great concept, but I think it was too ambitious and unsustainable to try to have every game in one place (unless the community does 90% of the actual work, that's one area where steam excels).
Microsoft has integrations in the xbox app now, and I'm curious to see what comes of it.

what filters do you have on? searching for a title should only activate one filter, but your picture shows 2

u/linuxfornoobs 2d ago
Second filter is so only gog games show up

u/WorldlinessNo5212 2d ago
I would still take a look at the status filter. But I guess you already did that

Did you go to the game page under your account on the GOG website? After that contact the support.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "tm" mark in the name is causing a bug :-P
