mattador101: I'm new to GOG so sorry if I come off as overly frustrated...and dumb haha.

I recently purchased Rollercoaster Tycoon: Deluxe. It's currently sitting in my library but I'm confused as to what I do next. There's no "play" link or anything that suggests that. Do I need to download something else? I was under the impression I did all I needed to do. It was only $6 but it's starting to look like a waste of money. Also, I don't want to download GOG Galaxy.

What do I do from here?

mattador101: adaliabooks, FrodoBaggins, and HunchBluntly -- thank you very much for your helpful responses!

I attempted to dl GOG Galaxy, and it froze haha. Then I went to my library and was (finally) able to dl the game from there. I'm no computer expert (duh!) but I think the issue was the computer itself, not the website. After the dl I went to try out the game. I only spent a few minutes because I don't have the time now but it looks to working just fine. Super excited about it.

Thank you all again. I honestly was about to just give up and ask for my money back. Your quick, and positive, responses made me change my mind. Virtual high fives all around.

skeletonbow: One of the most common reasons for Galaxy freezing, is trying to connect to GOG online when it starts both to look for updates and to connect to your account. If you have a firewall running that blocks that outbound request, it will sit there hung for a while (like most programs) and appear to have something wrong with it. Arguably they could do something more user friendly when this happens, but you need to allow it through any firewall, and make sure any antivirus/antimalware also does not interfere with it.

HTH

mattador101: Interesting insight, skeletonbow. Fortunately I was able to work around the 'freeze.' So far it's been a handful of days and I haven't had any issues yet!
