Solved: GOG List does not load. (Also, --subit-issue implementation oddity)

Support
1

Hello.

I installed Myst Riven through the lutris script offered here, played the game for a bit, closed the game, closed Lutris and started Lutris again.

Now GOG game list does not load.

So I tried:

lutris --submit-issue

This brought the expected window up, asking me to fill something in. I did not expect this to be the result after doing that:

2022-01-12 21:58:40,796: Magic not available. Unable to automatically find game executables. Please install python-magic

These two things seem to be out-of-order.

Installing the supposedly missing package only fixes the warning above. It does not help the main issue,

Running lutris -d gave the following:

I’m not sure why this behavior started or what can be done to solve it.

I’m running Manjaro XFCE 21.2.1 and kernel 5.10.89-1

I have the same issue, did you manage to solve it? If so how? Otherwise this is a bump to get some more attention on this issue.

It’s still an issue for me, but:

The error message from the terminal has changed slightly from
embed-mode prices-in-sek lang–en curr-’'

To
embed-mode prices-in-sek lang--en-us cu''

Did GOG change their “API” once again?

Same here, still can’t refresh gog, but I¨m still getting your first error message.

I saw some people remark that 0.5.10 solves this, can anyone confirm? It is not solved for me on Manjaro at the moment.

If I just have to be patient for the update in the packagemanager that is one thing, but I’d like to know if I should be looking for alternative methods.

It appears to be working of you disconnect Lutris from GOG and then connect them again.
(restarting Lutris might be required)
