Unable to Install GOG Titles

Support
1

I’m in the process of installing a number of Windows games from my GOG account using Lutris to a secondary drive. I’ve already added several titles already without a problem, but all of a sudden the Lutris application seems to breaking.

When I click on an install link on lutris.net, the desktop Lutris client runs as usual, and prompts me to select a installation location. I’ve been putting everything in a folder on a secondary, non-boot drive in my desktop, so I change the install path, and then click Install. Instead of showing progress information, the “View source” and Install buttons simply disappear, and I’m left with the Cancel button. The script apparently fails to execute, but the client itself doesn’t freeze (I can quit it normally).

This issue occurs with any game I attempt to install, whether GOG or not. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I’m running Lutris 0.5.3 on Ubuntu 19.10.

…So I guess this means no one has any idea what to do about this?

I have pretty much the exact issue you described. Only difference is I can only not install gog games. Very frustrating, it’s happened to me on multiple distros and this time it had been working until I logged out of gog in lutris and tried to log back in. Feels like if I’m walking on eggshells and anything might set lutris off. The console spits out these errors when I try to install a gog game

If I delete the file .gog.auth and .gog.token mentioned in OSError I’m not completely locked out of gog games; I can close the login window and choose an installer manually downloaded from gog’s site.

Here’s the file from lutris --submit-issue, I forgot to include it in the earlier post.

Apparently GOG changed their cookie format. You can keep track of this bug to see when they fix it, I believe.
