I’ve noticed several titles from my GOG library not importing to Lutris. After some research I found out that gogslug items in the lutris api are wrong for many games.
As an example, look at a search for Baldur’s Gate: https://lutris.net/api/games?format=api&search=baldur. In my case, only BGEE and BG2 show up in the lutris library and not BG and BG2EE. On the api “Baldur’s Gate II: Complete” incorrectly has the gogslug “baldurs_gate_2_enhanced_edition” while for BG2EE (and BG) it’s empty. I have ~30% of my library not showing up after import and noticed many others having wrong values for gogslug.
I do not know if I should file a bug on github, requesting individual changes for gogslug on the website is not possible, so right now as much as I’d like, as a GOG client Lutris for me is unusable.
Edit: Is there anything someone like me as a user could do to help or is this some kind of problem that is further down on the priority list for lutris devs/contributors. Just asking since nobody on discord or on the forums seems to be interested or willing to answer me.
Same issue here, with about 1/3 of my GOG library not appearing in Lutris. I tend to purchase my games during sales, when bundling multiple games is common. It makes sense that the Lutris query using the API shows only the gogslug, but there must be a way to build a temporary list from the bundle and then do a lookup on the list items. Ex.: all the Avernum games and Ultima games.
Without this ability, Lutris is likewise not useful for me. The workaround is to hack Playonlinux with winetricks, use other third-party scripts (e.g. play.it), then import local files into Lutris. This eliminates the need for Lutris as a GOG handler.
As this has been pending for over a year or thereabouts, I’ll just have to wait for a future version and run my games via PoL.
AFAIK, GOG has different slugs for different editions of the same game, so it may not work for other slugs actually (that’s why Pillars of Eternity has a separate entry in Lutris DB for the Definitive Edition)
I added “Imperial edition” because the standard version is not yet available on GOG, isn’t it?
It’s not an ideal solution but it could help users to find the game.
On Lutris you should write a page per version, for example:
Darksiders Legacy edition and Darksiders warmerested edition, each of this version has his own page.
@legluondunet Yep, you fixed it. I just installed it and fired it up to check. Thanks!
Could you check another related issue I’m having?
When I import Gothic II Gold Edition from GOG, Gothic II gets added. With some work, I was able to find both Gothic II and Gothic II Gold Edition on the Lutris website. It seems like the wrong game is associated with my GOG account. Also, when I try to install Gothic II Gold Edition, it doesn’t download either. I’m assuming it has the same problem that you just fixed with BG2EE. Thanks.
Tried to import from my GOG library Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Digital Deluxe Edition (https://www.gog.com/game/deus_ex_mankind_divided_deluxe_edition). Lutris said that games already in library, but they not appear in list. Debug output said:
[api.get_game_api_page:134]:No game found for 1296690054, 1370227705
P.S. how to add gogslug to game JSON data? Tried to use API HTML form on site, but no luck.
I had the same problem. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided did not show in my GOG library.
By using the “Search Lutris.net” function I found the game and could install it.
To install the Season-Pass I had to use “run EXE inside wine prefix”.
