Not tracking Played-Time

[DavidsonPrata]

For some reason, the games added through the integration do not track our played time but if I add the game manually it does track.
Is there anything we or you can do aboult it?

@DavidsonPrata Playtime tracking is working for games added manually, because Galaxy is taking care of that.
Games from integrations are different in that it is expected that the source of the integration (e.g. Steam, EA app, Ubisoft Connect ...) takes care of time tracking, and the integration is just compiling that data for Galaxy.

The Amazon Games App does not offer built-in playtime tracking, it only saves the last startup time of the games. Additionally this is not saved into any cloud, but only kept locally on your device.

Oh, I get it! But it is not saved locally it has been synchronized into my GOG account. I've emailed them and they confirmed it. Also, I have done clean installations and all my playtime tracking has been restored.

Thanks for answering anyway!

@DavidsonPrata I meant the Amazon Games App. Galaxy may be saving playtime for their games and manually added ones into the cloud, but Amazon does not.

Hmm...understood! If the integration's source does not track we don't have it. That information just makes me think about how bad the Xbox launcher is. It's an official integration and some games do track my playtime and others do not. LOL

Thanks for your time anyway!
