Then I set residual vm to use the file under .wine, drive c, gog games, The Longest Journey… and I selected The Longest Journey folder and it said it could not find a game.
What is the ResidualVM version you are using?
You need a recent RVM build for TLJ.
Download and install a daily build (unstable) here:
https://www.residualvm.org/downloads/
it’s .2.1 from the MINT apps library (you go to the welcome screen then click apps)
How do I download the newest residual VM for MINT? I see the web page, but do I click on tar.bz2 or tar.gz or .zip?
And what do I do with the file when I download it? I tried the tar.gz file. I extracted it… but I don’t see an installer file. I tried clicking on the configure file and allowing it to run as an executable, but nothing seems to have happened except some new files were added to the folder.
Mint = Ubuntu = Debian, this distribution use most of the time the same packages
I just saw the unstable packages for Linux are not updated for months…I will post you another and easier solution before the end of the day.
kaw, could you test this script:
https://lutris.net/games/the-longest-journey-gog-residualvm-win32/installer/edit
Um… I have no idea how to use the script but would very much like instructions on how to do so.
Also…
There is no deb for 3.1. I tried the ubuntu 16.4 deb file and it would not work (I am using MINT 18.3).
I also tried the debian 9 stretch but it said “dependency not satisfiable: libglew2.0 (>=1.12.0)”
Kaw give up all, just click “test this installer” on this page: https://lutris.net/games/the-longest-journey-gog-residualvm-win32/installer/edit
It is trying to get me to download the game again. Why can I not just use the file I already have? I am not going to waste that much time downloading a game I already have the file for.
And what was it downloading from drop box?
Please modify this to allow people to use the game file they already have. Not everyone has a 100 MB/s internet connection.
“It is trying to get me to download the game again.”
Lutris directly downloads GOG games if you gave it your GOG login/password.
Go to “import games”, “GOG” and click to disconnect.
Then, the next time you will try to install a GOG game, it will ask you the location where you stored the setup files.
“And what was it downloading from drop box?”
It’s addons files to translate the game in french, spanish or italian.
You can choose the language for menu and subtitles during install.
I had this already installed with… I guess residual VM or POL… I could not find the shortcut in POL when I opened it, but anyway, I had TLJ in my apps menu. And I made a shortcut from there. When I would open the game it would be small, in the upper left corner of the screen with the rest of the screen black, and with no sound. Just like with POL.
When I try to open it from lutris I get this error.

Please launch the game directly from Lutris, not from another shortcut.
and if it’s still doesn’t work, open a terminal, type:
lutris -d>lutris.log
launch the game
and post the lutris.log here for debug analyse.
I tried that, all I got was “lutris -d>lutris.log
2019-09-05 12:29:06,185: GLib.set_option_context_summary missing, was added in GLib 2.56 (Released 2018-03-12)”
It provided no log when trying to start the game from lutris.
If I look at the logs using the log icon under the game in lutris then I always get
“Running /home/s/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/ge-protonified-nofshack-4.9-x86_64/bin/wine /home/s/Games/the-longest-journey/drive_c/ResidualVM/residualvm.exe -p c:\GOG Games\The Longest Journey --auto-detect --game=tlj-win --fullscreen --subtitles

Huh, I just tried to install dreamfall and it keeps saying “no file provided”. It never seemed to install it even though I selected the .exe.
I get
“Can’t open /home/s/Games/dreamfall-the-longest-journey/drive_c/GOG Games/Dreamfall - The Longest Journey
The folder doesn’t exist.”
So, something is really wrong here.
I cannot help you for Dreamfall, I don’t have this game yet.
Could you launch a new time Lutris in debug mode:
lutris -d > lutris.log
activate debug info for TLJ game like this:
launch the game and when it will exit, copy paste the lutris.log file here.
