GOG.com upgrading its installer, PlayOnLinux scripts require or will require updates to match

Saturday 10 November 2012 at 11:12


        Hi all,

GOG.com is currently upgrading many of its game installers to version 2.0, I guess planning to upgrade them all.

GOG installer v2

This breaks existing scripts:
  • Download hashes must be updated
  • The new installer crashes right away if it can't find the native gdiplus.dll library. (A workaround is to use Wine >= 1.5.9, but I can't enforce this version on all games)
  • There's a potential issue at the end of installation on multi-screen setups, if you're in such case feedback is welcome
  • Installation path and filename cases changes
Obviously updating all scripts and test them will take a while, so expect disruptions for the time being.

In the meanwhile, if you saved the v1 installers, you can use them instead of downloading the v2. If you didn't keep the old installers, all you can do is wait for the script to be updated.

I'm trying to modify the scripts so that the old installers should still work, but for lack of time scripts will only be thoroughly tested with latest installer available, thank you for your understanding.

Good Old Games - Silver

Silver

A fixed-view 3D action RPG, with jRPG influences.
The story is really classic, but the game is well done and fun to play.

Good Old Games - Torin's Passage

Wednesday 17 October 2012 at 23:52

Torin's Passage

Helped by his shapeshifting pet Boogle, Torin must free his parents from the sorceress Lycentia.

Not as deadly difficult (and not as praised) as the average Sierra adventure game, this game has been designed to be played by the whole family.
Puzzles are still challenging, and the story has jokes for all ages. Torin's Passage could also be a soft introduction to the point-and-click gaming genre.

Deus Ex 2: Invisible War

Dispraised for being a weak sequel to the famous Deus Ex, this is still a good futuristic action/stealth game by itself.
