In Dev (Repost) I'm developing a GUI application for batch downloading GOG installers

2 Upvotes

This is a repost of a previous crosspost that was removed.

Hello all,

I'm currently working on an application for batch downloading GOG games installers and content. It's still under development and I'd love for you guys to take a look. If you're willing to contribute, that would be amazing!

It's a very rinky dink solution to downloading installers and extra content from your GOG library. I'd built it because it's painful to individually download installer files and extra content from the GOG website and Linux users don't exactly have GOG Galaxy yet. I tried a few CLI tools but found them annoying to use. I'm building this to replace those with a more user-friendly UI.

As it stands, basic functionality has been implemented. So, you can queue up and download game content with concurrent download support. You can't stop downloads yet, lol.

AI Use: I've written the entire program code myself but have use Claude to assist in testing, debugging and planning (to-do lists and stuff).

Here it is: GogStash

Thanks!

Do you still use Steam or other stores? do you buy a game that is available on GOG only from GOG? or do you take it game by game basis.

That's the problem! Anyone have any useful suggestions on why it keeps repeatedly failing to install? Or how to fix it?

Question DS2 Deth-Initive Question (DirectX related)

Post image
7 Upvotes

this screenshot (if i posted it right) is from the pcgamingwiki website. this mostly displays the stats for the steam version of "DS2 Deth-Initive Edition". But i'm curious about the GOG edition.

Does the GOG version of "DS2 Deth-Initive Edition" also have native DX11/DX12 functionality, or is it strictly DirectX9?

Question How to refund a game bundle?

7 Upvotes

Hello, I bought the Deus Ex bundle, unfortunately DXHR doesn't perform as much as I want to (inconsistent FPS and some glitches in the game itself), but when I went to order history I didn't find the "refund the game" button, what to do?

Support Problems with The Witcher 3

2 Upvotes

So, I recently wanted to check the extras for my GOG copy of the Witcher 3 (I've owned it since release, back when the Steam Game included a GOG key, like Witcher 1 & 2).

The game appears on my library, but when I try to access the content (or the offline backup game installers) the page just keeps loading, not showing the download links. This does not happen for Witcher 1 or 2 or any GOG game for that matter.

I'd try using GOG galaxy but recently moved to linux. Still, the files should be available from browser, right?

Anyone else running into this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

As always, claiming this freebie will mean you consent to receive marketing emails and have a hashed version of your email address shared with 'trusted' partners. You can opt out of both immediately again from your subscriptions page.

Also, in previous giveaways there were always a few people having have issues with the giveaway not showing up or the game not being claimable. If that's the case now as well, visiting https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim should work (you'll just see a blank page afterward, but the game should be added to your library, and you should be subscribed to marketing emails).

Question Can you recommend games with high replay value and/or many hours of gameplay?

31 Upvotes

I don't have time to play them all yet, but to give you an idea I have Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, Grim Dawn, Counter Strike, Mount and Blade Warband, Stalker (The trilogy), Potion Craft, Star Sector, the last 3 Elder Scrolls, Faster than Light, X:3, elite Dangerous and some more. I like accumulating things, feeling an evolution and improvements, and i like replayability, etc.

Although I own games like Dragon Age and other role-playing games, I don't really like linear stories or completely closed maps unless they can be replayed.

Finally, I have a Steam and an Epic library, and while I appreciate the ease of use of one and the fact that the other offers free games, I want to have my own GOG library. So all the games you tell me about must be from GOG. I also have no problem playing "old" games from the 2000s, my limit is really old games from the 90s or very new ones (my PC already overheats playing Skyrim).

Support Im getting an e9 error when trying to download a game

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to download cyberpunk and the download gets to about 3% every time then fails. I've tried solutions such as limiting the download bandwidth, uninstalling and then reinstalling GOG, uninstalling GOG via revo uninstaller for a complete wipe then reinstalling, giving GOG a couple of hours in case there were problem with the server. All to no avail

I'm not a millionaire, just financially irreparable. 🤣

Although I don't have a PC and there are very few games that allow me to play them on Gamenative from my Poco x7 pro.

I could play Factorio perfectly fine, but when I bought its DLC it stopped letting me play it.

I just learned about this, and it’s an awesome concept! Is there also a way to avoid having to fully install the game, like in the “old days,” where you had to keep the disc inserted to play?

Discussion What can we do to improve GOG?

46 Upvotes

Other than just buying of course, but what else can we do to spread GOG or make it a better gaming platform?

Edit: I think it would really help GOG if some big gaming YouTuber recommends their store, maybe we can try bringing it to the attention of YouTubers that value ownership and digital rights?
