Darrell999: Is there a way to go back to the previous version of GOG Galaxy?
1. Start File Explorer. Enter the following in the address bar. While GOG Galaxy isn't running, back up these folders.
%AllUsersProfile%\GOG.com\ %LocalAppData%\GOG.com\ 2. Uninstall the current version of GOG Galaxy.
3. Install
setup_galaxy_2.0.55.99.exe which is the last version known not to constantly crash in the background.
Do not launch it at the end of the installation.
4. From the backed up
%AllUsersProfile%\GOG.com\ folder, you'll want to restore the
config.json file and the
storage folder. From
%LocalAppData%\GOG.com\ folder, just the
\Galaxy\Configuration\config.json file should do.
5. In the
%AllUsersProfile%\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists\ folder, rename
GalaxyUpdater.exe to something else, like GalaxyUpdater.exe-disabled.
6. If you have games installed, start GOG Galaxy, click the cogwheel in the top left, then choose Add Games & Friends, then Scan Folders for GOG Games.
Edit: swapped steps 4 and 5, clarified restoring the backup should be more selective (don't overwrite older executables with the newer backed up versions for example).
