Does anyone have a mostly-up-to-date and reliable list of GOG games that don't work on win 10 (like Incubation)? Bonus points for the list also having games that don't work out-of-the-gog, but can be quickly and reliably fixed. I'm asking about win10 related stuff specifically, not all their borked releases that require external fixes no matter what you run them on.

My googlr-fu gave me this thread:
https://af.gog.com/forum/general/list_of_gog_games_that_dont_work_on_windows_10?as=1649904300
which leads to
http://www.an-ovel.com/cgi-bin/mago...p=ipgfsorlcmbahATSWv&ord=&flt=onn~w10~&opt=nr
No idea if it's up do date.

Damn, that list is long. How the feck does something like Tropico 5 not work 
Need to check a couple of titles later and confirm.

I glanced through the list and I have to say that it is misleading. I have Win 10 and I have played:
Ground Control (no problem)
Divine Divinity (I know there's performance issues if you have certain settings enabled)
Freespace (no problem)
Empire Earth 2 (the unofficial patch makes it run flawlessly)
Europa Universalis (run through the excellent DxWnd - music will probably not work unfortunately; run DxWnd with most old Paradox games to get them to work)
Soul Reaver (can't remember any problems - has been a while since I played it)
Soul Reaver 2 (runs flawlessly through DxWnd with specific settings - look them up)
Nox (I can't recall having any issues with this game)
Seven Kingdoms (runs flawlessly through DxWnd)
Star Wars Starfighter (can't remember any problems with this but I haven't played much of it)
X-Wing Alliance (played through it without any real issue - it can be a finicky game to setup though)
SWAT 3 (played through it without issue)
Temple of Elemental Evil (there's the patch which makes it run flawlessly)
Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption (I haven't played through this one yet but it seems to work fine - especially with the AoR mod)
Wing Commander 3 (this depends on some settings, as I recall, but it should run fine after some tweaking)
Wing Commander 4 (same as above)

This filter seems to show all games that has no Win 10 in specification, so it may be really out of date.

Nox does suffer from the showstopping screen flickering when just installed and run, but for me it is enough to force it to run through integrated GPU (win7) or just set compatibility to win98 (win10). So I'd classify it as a "standard borked gog release" and not "win10 is shit lol".

To be precise, Croteam is starting to sell their games on GOG as well.
Currently it's only SS:FE, SS:SE and the upcoming SSam 4... but the other titles may turn up.
Yeah, GOG were not super aggressive in labeling everything Win10 compatible and people seem think no Win10 listing means it doesn't work. The vast majority work fine, and the majority of the rest that have any kind of fanbase at all have fan patches/tweaks.
PCGamingWiki is a great resource.

Well, that why I'm asking, because while there are (kinda) false-positives, like Nox, there definitely are games that don't work on win10 while giving absolutely no problems on win7. Like Incubation, which is an amazing game and a must play imo. Also, if something need a virtual machine to run then I wouldn't classify that as "working".
Battlespire is a good little Ultima Underworld sidegrade title. If I remember correctly it was Julian LeFay's last game.

I would call all games from Win98-WinXP era suspicious - each of those should be checked before buying.
He's making a Daggerfall successor.
Any game that doesn't run (properly) for you, you can refund on GOG. So not really worth the effort of doing in-depth preemptive investigations that may or may not be accurate any more at the time of you actually playing the games in question.
Goddamn GOG with their patch delays. Pissing me off for the last 5 years. Right now, Frostpunk, crashing. Steam users got their hotfix today afternoon while my game still keeps crashing. Just lost an hour of progress.
How difficult is it to release a patch as soon as the devs provide it FFS.

Yeah, Galaxy.
So after chatting a bit with GOG support they informed me the hotfix has been applied on the Galaxy version two days ago. They almost sounded as if I'm a big dumbo who is complaining about nothing.
Except they haven't updated the patch notes. Or indicated in any way the hotfix went out. And the game version displayed on the main menu is still the same.
Yeah.
