I don't understand the intent behind the system requirements: it is unclear what they are for (Galaxy 1.2 client ? Games ?) and there is no ref. Shouldn't they better be removed ? Galaxy 2.0 requirements could be added instead, but note that such information will quickly become updated. --Kaede

Well, as the user never responded, I am of the opinion that a gaming client evolves so much over time, that minimum requirements shouldn't be listed as they are very fluid.

Sorry, I wasn’t reading any of the posts I actually migrated over (waaay too many for that).

On this topic I’d say that it depends on whether there’s actual official system requirements posted or not.

Like Valve for example doesn’t post any, so its “system requirements” comes down to having a Windows, macOS, or Linux machine, which is hardly worth having a whole section for.

But if GOG Galaxy 2.0 (as 1.whatever is obsolete) has official system requirements then we could just as well lost them just for completion’s sake.

Yeah, this and many other talk pages were recently migrated by me as part of my job to enable the StructuredDiscussions (Flow) extension on the namespaces, as previously they didn't feature these proper talk pages and instead had a basic wikitext page that needed manually editing etc.

This particular topic from Kaede is from, as far as I can see, from May 11 2020, hence why they do not reply. They'd probably not even get notified of these replies unless they actively visit the wiki and check their watchlist as they aren't "subbed" to this topic since it was first created as part of my migration.

As far as the system reqs, those should be up-to-date as I remember that GOG recently (within the last few years) removed support for Windows 7, which received a somewhat negative response by some of the community, so the support page does line up with that.

Though yes, the whole system req tables aren't necessary — two bullets below the system requirement header detailing the same the support page details is enough.

Agree

This was taken off the page, but GOG Galaxy is still vulnerable to CVE-2020-24574, a privilege escalation attack. They were [called on on Reddit a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/putc8m/gog_galaxy_20_serious_security_issue_over_1_year/). There's no fix listed in the Galaxy [release notes](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003936637-GOG-GALAXY-Changelog?product=gog), and even if there were they've claimed to fix this once before. In the time since reporting, they've accumulated similar issues [CVE-2020-15528 / CVE-2020-15529](https://daniels-it-blog.blogspot.com/2020/07/gog-galaxy-escalation-of-privileges.html), also unfixed. --47.5.174.115 21:03, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
