Sorry, for reviving the dead, just ignore this post and it will go away, but I just got an email telling me this post had been moved and when I looked at it I realized I never posted the solution, my bad.
Any way, it was a pain, but the issue was caused by gog and not the game. I had to contact the gog help and modify some very weird files (they worked me through it). Apparently they had a problem with the update to gog galaxy that was specific to my version. Meaning that when I tried to update from the version that I had to the latest version it changed some system setting that would caused galaxy not to work. Any way I had to reset the setting and all became right.
TL;DR just contact gog support and they will get back to you in time. It just takes them a while.
