Edit:
I can not seam to get auto center to work; commands which I am running:
game.player.gui.screen.add{name='test',type='frame'}
game.player.gui.screen.test.auto_center -- returns false
game.player.gui.screen.test.auto_center = true -- frame remains in top left
game.player.gui.screen.test.force_auto_center() -- frame remains in top left

Edit 2:
The auto center only takes places once a new element is added as a child of this element:
game.player.gui.screen.test.add{name='drag',type='frame'} -- frame is now in the center

Sanqui wrote: Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:33 pm This update also brings another thing that hasn't been mentioned. Updates to GOG Galaxy have now been (almost) automated, so for the GOG crew out there, you can now play on latest experimental like everybody else by switching Beta channels on and choosing experimental.

The oil change is NOT in this version, right?

Did GOG previously use the %APPDATA% location?

I'm hoping it was just a thought experiment to see how players reacted and nothing that was ever seriously being considered.
