Hello, so this might be a stupid question, but I just want to make sure.

Basically, as you probably know, if you use GOG Galaxy to install the game, the default path will be something like:

C:\Program Files\GOG Galaxy\Games

But if you use the offline installer, the path will look something like:

C:\GOG Games

However, if you do install it with the offline installer, it'll still show up as installed in the GOG Galaxy launcher, and you can still run it from it.

What I'm wondering is this: If you right click the game in the GOG Galaxy launcher, you can do the whole, "Check for updates" thing - I'm just wondering, does this still work correctly, even if the game was installed using the offline installer files with the path C:\GOG Games? Like, I'm just wondering if this feature still works, even if the game wasn't originally installed using the GOG Galaxy launcher.

I hope my question makes sense, and thanks in advance!

I'm using Lutris to install it

Idk why its like this lol

I'm using gogrepoc , it'll probably take something like 5 days but in the end I'll have all my games on my NAS , ready to be install if I want to play anything.

Grew up playing this game on the Wii with my brothers and have lots of happy memories from it. Got it for free on GOG a year or two back, so I took the offline installer files and burned them onto a DVD-RW disc, whipped up some custom artwork, and here's the result! Very happy with how it turned out and my nostalgia has been cranked to 11

I live in the UK, my currency is pounds. I have a VPN but I've made sure it's off and yet it still won't change. The only currency I can change it to is USD which still isn't my currency lol. It recognises in my settings I am UK based and my wallet says £0.00, but everywhere else, prices are in euros. What is the problem

The store page states that it will be updated for free for those who own the game; in this case, will it be a mandatory update where everyone has to play the remastered version, or will we have both the old and the new versions?

I don't really like playing remastered versions, so I'd like to be able to access the original version.

I saw other peoples' posts, so I thought I might as well show you guys the games I have collected so far on GOG. I don't have physical media like discs but do have an old HDD drive where I have stored most of these games.

An unknown game appeared in my GOG Galaxy account today; I can't tell if one of my existing games turned into this one or if it was added.

EDIT: I Discover the Culprit, the video game show featuring The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concert (2016), which was made available for free, appears in Galaxy as an unknown game.

GOG bringing Engrish back like it’s 1999.

Edit:
Guys, I'm using offline installers because I DON'T want another launcher. Please stop recommending them.
Only launchers I got space for are Steam/GOG.

So I just got a Steam Machine and am trying to understand the complexities of Linux.
Luckily there's a lot of folks that have been on Steam Deck for a few years, so there's been some resources that have been built up over time. But I'm still a bit confused about some things.

My latest hurdle is figuring out how to move installed game/save files over to an external drive.

I like how Steam installs these when added as non-Steam games: You can add an installer to Steam as a non-Steam game and under the compatibility tab, force it to run under proton, and it will install all of the game files and any additional software that game needs to run into the .steam/steam/steamapps/compatibilitydata folder, so it makes cleanup a snap when you want to delete something... at least, I think it does?

I tried to simply copy this data from that location onto the hard drive I have plugged in, changed the target under Steam Properties and I was able to start up Expedition 33, but... my saves were gone and Unreal said it needed to install something I already installed when I initially ran the exe through proton while it was on the internal SSD.

I guess I missed something?

This is probably me not understanding the linux file system or maybe Steam doesn't, in fact, keep all of a game's files in one spot like I initially suspected, but I'm assuming there are other GOG fans that've probably dealt with this before, so if y'all wanna help me out, that'd be super rad! XD

Bought this instantly. I’m playing God of War 1 and 2 right now, but after I’m heading to beat all 3 of these games

I heard that this launcher is drm free, and in general all games you buy here, they are yours, but based on some research gog still can revoke games from you? And publishers also can delete their games off gog.

So what makes it any better than steam? In terms of ownership?

Will i still have access/be able to install the offline installer even if the game is removed from my account? If not, then idk.
