I'm having trouble with the site, too. There's a warning on the My Account page:"Since you're using Windows 7 you need to know, that the UAC (User Account Control) scan might cause the GOG.com installer to launch with slight delay (up to few minutes). Larger files will "generate" longer delay."

Maybe Win 7 is giving the entire website hiccups. I don't know about the installer since I don't see anything yet that I want to add to my downloads but I don't have the patience to hang around and see if individual pages on the site will load after a delay of minutes.

I'm not using Win7 and I'm having problems ....

I went to check that my purchased games were still showing on my account but when I attempted to log-in I was told my password wasn't recognised.

So I followed their procedure and changed my password - and was then told I could log-in.

When I tried to, however, I got the standard "This page is not available" error message.

Hi Mad----you sure are having trouble with your password and E-mail lately. I wish I could help you.

Mad,

Have you gotten in touch with them through Support? I'll bet they're getting a flood of questions right now.

Gil.

I wonder how many GOG members uninstalled the GOG downloader and deleted the GOG site from their favorites?

According to gog.com the site's traffic has been 20 times heavier than anytime before. No wonder they are having trouble initially with their servers.

I was having trouble logging in but I hit refresh on my browser went back to the main page and when I hit my account I was logged in already.

anyway I had bought the Phantasmagoria package (with 1 and 2 for a reduced price) and had not yet downloaded Phantasmagoria 2 so I'm downloading now as I type.

Thinking about getting the whole KQ series and loading it on DVD.

Yes they seem to have trouble with pages loading, and sometimes you get an all-white webpage. But if you use the reload/refresh button on your web browser, the page may appear. It's not just the login screen. It can happen on any webpage.

Thanks for the news Ana!

I've seen so many older games mentioned by members now available on GOG, a site that I haven't had time to get around to yet. I was so disappointed that I thought it was going before I even had a chance to go there! I'm so pleased that it's still there as there are so many games pre my gaming years that appeal so much!

I just tried to log-in again and although it was rather slow motion at times, I was eventually allowed access this time !!

Loved your comment " I think the stunt itself deserves a dancing tomato projectile salute." Haven't heard that before and I want to remember it for future use! Great comment!!!!

I agree, the stunt was terrible, but I am glad that it was ultimately a stunt. Good to see they are still around, as I really like their no DRM policy and wish more sites would emulate it. If they did, I wouldn't be so insistent on getting disk versions of the games I'm interested in every time.

I'm really hoping they get Black Mirror. It would be nice to play the original, so I could appreciate the references in part 2 more.

I think the "Reach" chart at Alexa gives a pretty good idea of just how successful this stunt really was.

On the other hand, there's been a sharp drop in the number of page views per user, and a sharp rise in the number of "bounces" ("The percentage of visits to gog.com that consist of a single pageview",) so most of that traffic probably came while gog was down for maintenance.

Touche`, Mad!
