I installed a game last night and played it for four hours before exiting the game and going to bed.
I woke up this morning to discover that upon returning to the game I couldn't press the play button and GoG Galaxy had only registered 36 minutes of playtime.
After some brief searching on-line I tried looking for the .exe application and laod the game from there, which loaded up a very choppy unplayable game, so I pressed ctrl alt del and discovered that I had two iterations of this game now playing.
I closed them both down in the task manager and it cured the problem, I could now press the play button again and my in-game time had been updated... to 14 hours, lol.
So there must be a bug in some games where exiting the game doesn't actually exit the game and it keeps running in the background to the point where Galaxy still thinks you're playing but nothing is showing on your desktop.
I now have to use task manager to close the game in addition to quitting to desktop. Hope this is of some use to anyone else & is amusing by itself anyway.
