GOG Galaxy time played bug

[Atey]

I have already posted about this here I think, but didn't get any meaningful response.
There is a bug with the GOG Galaxy launcher where it doesn't record the time played or when the game was last played (for I:R). It wouldn't be too bad on its own but it used to work! It was broken since the 1.4 update came out and 1.5 did not fix it in any way. I do not expect it to be fixed right away or anything similar but I'd like to know if the devs know about this issue and if they know what could be causing it. Note that if I roll back to the 1.3 version, the issue is not present.

Also if there are other players using the Galaxy launcher I'd like to ask you if you experience the same issue that I've described here. It could after all be an issue with my installation only.

How do you know the problem isn't with GOG?

It happens with no other game I have there and it's weird that it works again when I roll Imperator back to before 1.4? Other than that I don't. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows anything about that.

Ok, I see.

There's 2.0 coming out next Tuesday, that might fix it Although in the grand scheme of things I don't think a bug with recording play time in GOG is going to get much attention with devs, especially with a massive overhaul on the way, or in the wake of it.

Yes, I'm having the same issue with GOG Galaxy. My playtime is stuck at 1 min.

Generally I'd assume that the bug is caused by GOG, because the launcher does have some issues (for example it can't launch my Steam games. I mean, come on).
It would be nice to have that fixed anyways.

I can launch Steam games from Galaxy just fine but I still have this issue. It could be caused by GOG or Imperator and there is really no way to know for sure. It would be nice to at least know where the fault is. Should I perhaps turn to GOG or Paradox support with this issue?

I have no clue...
But here's the plan: You contact paradox, I contact GOG and we share the results here

For me is the same bug since al least 1.4.

Also not able to launch the game since 1.5. I not sure is fault of GOG. I thought about even buying the game on steam to see if that was why.

I contacted Paradox support about this and they reportedly "do not control that data and how its collected". They also explicitly advised me to contact GOG about the issue.
So.. how did it go with the support service over at GOG, @Melchyah?

Still nothing ... You know what I'm gonna write in their forum right now

GOG never seemed to care too much about answering questions from my experience, kind of sad. I will come back here when I have something to tell, promise.

Today I received a response from GOG to a bug report I sent concerning a different bug (also a long time ago). So there is still hope.
