  Heroic works pretty well.

  You- you what??? Why. Lutris. Just use lutris, holy shit.

    Lutris downloads files from GoG using their API, which has heavily throttled download speeds. It was going to take 19 hours for CP2077 to download using Lutris.

    Downloading the 50 pieces individually from GoG through the browser took under and hour, but was quite annoying.

    If you don’t play any large games, you might not have noticed, but Lutris and GoG do not work very well together.

      I always download the offline installers and install them via the generic “install from executable” option. I’ve actually never used the features for downloading games from online game services on Lutris. The whole reason I buy from GOG is I can download the offline installer and never have to deal with anyone else’s servers after that point. It works excellently.

  Maybe this was true five years ago, but with heroic I’ve never had any setup issues.

  There’s like 5 managers that support one click install on Linux. Why are you pretending to live in the stone age?

    He likes it like that. Shit, he Loves it. Says so right off the bat. Just because this ain’t baseball doesn’t mean he’s not home.

  How common is that? I have maybe 5 games from GOG and none of them are like this.

    Lutris communicates with GoG through their API, which is heavily throttled for downloading games. CP2077 was going to take almost an entire day to install using Lutris alone.

    Going to the website and downloading the pieces myself was much faster, but then of course I needed to manage the rest of the install.

    Small games are fine since you won’t feel as much pain on the download step.
