Trying this now: UPDATE:

That didn't quite work. See:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/lgogdownloader_gogdownloader_for_linux/post1101

UPDATE2:

This worked, (thanks to @vv221 for the hint!)

lgogdownloader --galaxy-arch 32 --galaxy-install 1752654506/0

Checking now, if resulting layout is playable, because it looks weird and very similar to what you get if you simply use innoextract.

So, if one buys a collection as a gift code, would said gift code have an expiration date?

Yes, patience is a key, is OK OK OK - for now, all DLCs for Order of Battle: World War II are discounted, fantastic.

Afaik the games you already own/their codes will expire one year after purchase.

Yes, curse them to gift us such a game ;)

But since I can understand and I do relate I searched a bit and found this. Not ideal but at least you should be able to rebind keys with it.

That's very nice of you but I'm done with that bullcrap.

I'm not using joyToKey because my keyboard is working well, and I'm not messing up with Unreal config files.

Devs don't put the work in making me welcome? I'm not going through the work to play their game. Screw them, it's like there are 100s of games where I can easily play and devs that aren't lazy or stupid as to overlook that basic functionality.

(gonna ping someone)

Just so you know, Cultist Simulator Anthology costs literally all of the money in Russia (2'209 RUR, currently held in the Diamond Vault of the Kremlin). When bought separately at full price, its components add up to 860 RUR.

To the 3 of you - I generally just wanted to make a point but since you insist (you really insist it seems) on details...

Just a general DISCLAIMER first...
This is all assuming I uderstand their code correctly... Also be warned I have not tested this myself YET...
End of disclaimer...

Feral Interactive is present on github and some of their code they left exposed to public...
Among several forks there is some of their own code (like game mode) including ferallinuxscripts section.
That section contains their lanuch scripts for their LINUX ports...
It's updated from time to time so it COULD be a bit different that what you have in your current game build...
Among those scripts there is one responsible for initiating steam runtime communication (of the game with the steam runtime) once the game is started (very early during that start process).

Linux consists LOADS of COMPLETELY different flavours and it's just not possible to support EVERYTHING...
Generally when Linux ports are released by ANYBODY then usually just Ubuntu and sometimes also Mint is officially supported (it means that if it doesn't work then you can seek for their official help).
One Linux flavour that is particularly known to be a possible vector for user screw up is Arch Linux due to it's complexity and general fact that basically each user config is a COMPLETELY different thing...
People who don't know Arch Linux well often screw up (becoming the vector) and don't manage to get the Feral ports working...
It's just that that Windows is one platform that generally is the same across installs and Linux is just not. Linux is very different than Windows and it's just not possible to support everyone.

Due to that fact Feral left a certain thing in their scripts that allows overriding Steam to make their games work on those systems where they wouldn't work otherwise.
That's an official thing and if you open an issue on github then they will tell you to do exactly that (example: I was looking for issues where they did actually say it but maybe they removed those or something as I could no longer find them now).
It's essentially a Steam override.
So basically once you get the file from Steam and use this then your game is basically entirely drm free as Feral does not include any drms in their Linux ports aside from Steam integration.
So you can get the files from Steam then use that and then repack the files into your own installer and have a drm free build basically.

I was talking about this:
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/ferallinuxscripts

The exact code Im talking about:
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/ferallinuxscripts/blob/master/gamelaunchscript.template.sh
From Line 116 to Line 148...
This is a script code TEMPLATE... a code TEMPLATE! It WILL differ from what script your game build will have. It may differ A LOT.
Essentially you would have to modify the script from your game build to use some of the stuff...
Also the script changed since I last checked it (and it seems like it changed a lot) and Im not exactly willing to check all the code changes now but Steam related code is still there I think more or less like it was before...


Before anybody asks - NO I have not PERSONALLY used it YET because I don't currently have a way of doing so (Im changing hardware to such that is gonna be good enough to finally run Linux games and generally any games well enough).
Im gonna do it someday but Im sure it works as many people have done it and they say it works (on github issue pages for example)...

Just DO NOT brag about this info and don't spread it too much otherwise people could start abusing it... And abusing it could potentially lead to Feral removing it...

Also I don't actually understand why people say Feral is pro drm... Why would they be pro drm?
I know some of their older non steam Mac ports are drmed but all their current Linux ports are only drmed by Steam itself... They don't even have CEG! (CEG is popular on Windows games and Windows build of Infinite on Steam has it)...

Maybe you can give me advise?
What should I do if I have Infinite on Steam and here and didn't play it yet (because as I said I didn't have good enough hardware before but now I will).
Should I play original Steam Linux port (which is OpenGL) or DXVK build from here?
DXVK should probably have better quality than OpenGL?...

Im gonna be away for probably around 2 days or so so expect delays if anybody quotes me with more questions...

Thanks very much for your patience and taking the trouble to explain, that was very enlightening.

I have no idea why they are pro-DRM, but they said explicitly, they have problems releasing their game on GOG, even if GOG have DRM-free Windows versions here. And if they are not pro-DRM, why don't they offer such games DRM-free in their own store? I can only conclude, DRM is the reason.

TL;DR: I'll change my view on their DRM attitude, once we'll see their Linux games in DRM-free stores.

So I just finished up Dead In Vinland - awesome, excellent game.

While the combat in it was only a small (ish) part - anyone know if any games on sale have that similar combat vibe? Vinland / Darkest Dungeon sort of feel?

I saw the release of that Cold game with little fur eared people - curious if anything else like that was on sale / exists.

For me that's laywer talk to weaken your promises. Spending money on a gift code is buying a gift code, no matter if it's on a single discounted game or in a bundle. And these gift codes should not expire.

Considering that you do not even get a warning that parts of your money may go into expiring gift codes these collections are not sweet deals, but rather bitter ones, at least for your loyal customers which already own some games on GOG. I loved your old bundles and have bought several of them, but these new collections are really customer unfriendly. Please reconsider to switch back to the old bundle behavior!

Thank you. Although I still think that that script can only override the Steam runtime, i.e. the bundle of precompiled libraries that Steam provides. And that's a shell script, so that would be included with each game port as well, so there is no need for anything from their GitHub account.

Just what are you wanting to rebind?

Thanks guys!

The release of Bioshock Infinite was a nice surprise this week :)
