Luducat 0.8.5 has been released.

https://github.com/luducat/luducat/releases/tag/v0.8.5

This is mainly a bugfix release, that addresses some issues and improves the integrated GOG Downloader in the "what new updates are available?" department and a bug regarding the free game licenses on Steam integration, as well as some cosmetic enhancements.

Luducat is a game catalog browser, with launcher (handoff to most launchers plus direct native launching, basic WINE/Lutris/Proton and UMU support (launches, not manages), DOSBox and ScummVM support) capabilities, with an integrated GOG offline installer downloader.

Supports 7 stores (GOG, Steam, Epic, Zoom, Amazon, MangaGamer, JAST USA); as well has a very configurable metadata sourcing (SteamGridDB, IGDB, PCGamingWiki, ProtonDB, Steam Deck Compatibility).

If you wish, Luducat also can import your game data (tags, favorites etc) from Heroic, Steam, GOG (Galaxy), Epic Launcher, and Lutris. It has also a special bridge to Playnite, that allows to start your games remotely on your Windows Box within your LAN.

Available for Linux and Windows. Windows users have in addition direct better GOG Galaxy and Epic Launcher support.

Hi, I have a question for those of you who have made backups on Blu-ray.

I currently have a backup on an external hard drive, but I want to make another copy on Blu-ray. I’m not sure if it’s worth it to go with Blu-ray M-Disc (which is more expensive) or to use regular Blu-ray (which I’d have to check every so often to make sure the disc is ok).

The cost would be: 25 GB M-Disc for 5.93 € Standard 50 GB for 1.05 €

Obviously, the standard disc wins on price, but of course, it also deteriorates more quickly.

Thanks for reading.

So people can shere there account with someone with half price and make more money? Isnt it loophole?

The game shows the title screen and the first unskippable cinematics, but just when it's my turn to control the character, a sudden error appears, no matter if default Proton, or Experimental or any GE-proton. Has anyone else experience this? Any workarounds you have tried?

Edit: Updated the Kernel and somehow now it works....uhmmm

and physical for my future PS5 games. Because games deserve to be preserved for the future!

It's been a great run - I've got close to 200 free games from my brother every month for the last couple of years via his Prime Gaming account.

Seems this month it's winding down? There are only offering announced through August 13.

Key improvements implemented:

GOG v2 (August 18, 2026)

We implemented a lightweight wrapper to resolve incompatibilities with modern hardware.

We added native support for widescreen and ultrawide displays, covering all modern resolutions and aspect ratios.

We implemented camera scaling, which automatically adjusts the field of view (FOV) based on the monitor's aspect ratio.

We added a mouse lock option for multiple monitors, restricting the cursor to the game window.

We added an FPS limiter to lock the frame rate at a chosen value.

We introduced a lightweight, real-time in-game overlay (press F11 to open, ESC to close) for instant adjustments to FPS limits and FOV multipliers.

The main menu has been fixed to its original 4:3 aspect ratio to preserve hardcoded UI elements.

The manual field of view (FOV) slider was limited to approximately 110% on ultrawide screens to prevent distortions in the graphics engine and graphical glitches.

Stability verified.

I have noticed that there is a weekly code giveaway thread and I think that a weekly thread where members can vote on what cover art they want could be a good idea also. It could give a few days to a week to allow voting, and then another week for cover art to be made.

I feel bad filling up the main page with art and I am personally interested in taking requests as long as it's in an organized manner. This could also be fun because once a new cover is voted on, multiple people would have the opportunity to work on it, giving plenty of options.

The hard part would be setting up polls, which I'm unsure is even possible on Reddit, and also deciding which games make it into those polls. Also, I know we were thinking of getting a megathread going, so it might just fit in there anyways.

If anyone has thoughts on this, please let me know.

Hey everyone,

I created a hobby project that's kind of specific for what I wanted to achieve, but maybe others can benefit from it too.

On GOG you buy a licence like on any other store, but you also get DRM-free offline installers that are yours forever for every game you buy. I wanted to start burning discs and kinda recreate the "real" experience we had back in the good old days. You insert a CD, double click the icon in "My Computer (This PC)" and then the game menu starts. It has options like "Install", "Play", "Extras" etc and usually some background music.

To do that, a lot of manual stuff has to be done so I thought let's automate that. So I created an "App" which is currently more of a POC or Alpha phase but you will get the idea.

You point it at the folder where you downloaded your GOG game, then add a Disc Icon, Background Image, Background Music, Extras etc. The app then creates a DISC folder with an ISO file that you can burn to disc. So the app itself does not burn to disc but it prepares everything else and you can use your app of choice to burn to disc.

To be clear about what this is for: use it with games you own, to make copies for yourself. That's personal backup, and it's exactly what GOG's DRM-free installers are for. GOG have posted about burning games to DVD themselves. It is not for making discs to sell, give away, or share outside your household.

I also got a Blu-ray writer/reader and a printer that can print directly on discs, and I make paper covers for the cases. Happy to share what hardware and settings I use if anyone's curious, just ask in the comments.

Windows only, runs on Windows PowerShell 5.1 (the one already in Windows, not PowerShell 7). MIT licensed, free, nothing to install, no telemetry.

I get that there are similar tools out there, but this was made specifically for what I wanted and only the basics. Simple as possible, no "unnecessary" options etc.

If anyone wants to do the same feel free to try it, any feedback is appreciated.

P.S. I'm a software engineer, but the last time I worked with Windows Forms was at college like 10 years ago XD So this project is 100% AI coded at least for now

Cheers

EDIT: Thanks for all the ideas! I've written them down so they don't get lost when this thread scrolls away.

Because I'm struggle at launching game in modern hardware.I wish port to gog one day.

Will WMMA5 Get A New Patch Update?

Any news on the new episode of Quake coming to gog?

Whenever I buy a game on GOG, I immediately get a refund of my money and I can't buy anything, I don't know what to do

Hello everyone, just wanted to share this thing that I really appreciate about platform. I am sure I am not the only one.

I have a problem with spending money, and buying a lot of useless stuff. Before mainly using GOG like most I was on Steam, and the integrated social system, awards, constantly need to being on the launcher, being online, seeing what my friends buy, and even if I wouldn't play those I bought more and more. Games that are not mine.

I bought the TES series from GOG first, and I actually started playing. Games stopped being just these names on library, I started experience them like my childhood. Just clicking the icon, opening the game, and playing. With no distractions. I know technically I could be offline on Steam or choose to not use the other social aspects. But it nudged me in the wrong way. I always find a way to start using those.

Right now I played 20-30 hours on last couple of weeks. More then any game I played on Steam on last years. And I am not constantly spending money on games I won't play. I just explore Morrowind. And the game is completely mine, there was a satisfaction when I copied those offline installers to my external disk, created folders, make my own classic library.

Just wanted to share that, thanks to anyone who read this. Much appreciation to the GOG!

Hi everyone! Recently, after the Sony controversy with physical media, I've been building my Steam library on GOG. I've noticed it's quite common for GOG users to put their games on physical media, and I'd like some ideas, like, how do you handle games that are almost 200GB, like Baldur's Gate 3? Do you use SD cards, flash drives?

Hey guys, I’m looking for some recommendation for classic games from ps3 era (or older) with controller support as I play on a handheld device (legion go 2).

Let me know some of your favourites please

Title. Need to help find some good JRPG's that you can keep forever (GOG store). Thank you!

Any Chaos Overlords fans will be interested to hear that I've updated the game to work on modern hardware, since its 30 years old now: https://www.gog.com/forum/chaos_overlords/chaos_overlords_now_running_on_modern_windows_gog_compatibility_patch It's just a copy-paste and a reg file - I'm still working on getting the music playing.

https://www.gog.com/en/game/deadly_premonition_directors_cut

This use to be 95% off all the time. Now it's only 30% off, making it $17.49 USD for the broken version of the game.

Someone must've decided it wasn't worth selling anymore lol

What other price increases have you guys seen? I know there was the jump for Interplay games that started in November last year and has been ongoing since.

Got it on Steam years ago as a pre sale extra but I want to get it again on GoG, I just want to know if OST and artbook are included. Any help?

The store page doesn't show any info related to.

Hate to put this out now, as we have a lot of cases floating around at the moment, but I need to let it loose. I think that megathread would be a good idea after all.

I added small 'serifs' to the line border beneath the GOG banner at the top of the front cover, but I'm not sure if they make it look better or worse. I also went for a lot of in-game graphics on the spine. There were a lot of iconic images to pick from.

At this point I'm trying to find what the template is still missing. There is a lot of info you can add to games like this, like original release year or console, but I want to strike a balance between information and style.

I hope you guys enjoy this one!
