engel666sk: Can someone make a tutorial for chromium user? What do u have to do? I don't get it
renloz: If you want to do it manually then you need to use your browser devtools.
1. Load the GOG main page
2. Open the
Storage tool that should be part of the developer tools
3. In
Local Storage section there is the gog web address, select it
4. Inside it there are a lot of keys (the first column) and their respective values (second column) look for the
userData_games key and copy its value. It should look similar to
["1","2","3"], each number is a game that you own
5. Paste the value into a text editor. We need to remove the
" from the list so we end up with something like
[1,2,3]. The text editor has an option for "Replace" use it to replace every " with nothing
6. In the browser look for the
ngStorage-user key and copy its value. Paste the contents on the text editor in an empty document (do not mix it with the previous value)
7. The values is be long and messy but it must have a section that looks like
"list": [] The brackets area might contain a series of comma separated numbers that are the games that are being curretly shown as owned. Replace the brackes, and only the brackets and its contents, with the result of step 5 so you end up with something like
"list": [1,2,3] 8. Copy the results of 7 back to the
ngStorage-user value
You should now have the owned list working fine for your current owned games.
Hiya, I've just tried this, but it resulted in all deals pages being empty, as in the below link:
https://i.imgur.com/ycZE4g4.png I then tried copying the original ngStorage-user text with no games in the list [] back in, but it remains empty - any ideas?
--edit
nevermind, figured it out. If anyone else gets in the same situation, the following fixed it:
1) I cleared the last hour of all history data - cookies, offline data etc. This got me back to the original situation - I can see deals pages now, but all games show as not owned.
2) This time, instead of copying out the entire ngStorage-user value and then copying it back in with the games list, I copied the games list directly into the value between the brackets.
Now the deals pages show all the games I own properly.
I figure the text editor I was using was adding some unseen formatting that gog doesn't like.
