I haven’t found a GOG client for Linux that’s as easy as Steam. They all require some kind of fiddling. Some games that should work, just don’t. I don’t bother with those and I just pretend they don’t exist. I play those that just work out of the box. I’ve tried Lutris, Heroic and Faugus.

Holy moly. I hope they don’t half ass it. 🙏🏻

Holy shit, this is huge.

Any screenshots?

Dude, RPS’ content is becoming even shittier by the day.

I haven’t done a deep dive, but on the surface, I haven’t found Claude as contributor. So, if it is vibe coded, it’s not obvious for me, I’m not a dev.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

github.com/Phalcode/gamevault-app/issues/560

unfortunately the website has no gamepad support, we may add something like this in the future if you request it: voorhoede.nl/…/navigating-the-web-with-a-gamepad/

But i can’t promise anything, as of now

I think this would definitely make sense as soon as we have native Tauri builds of our application instead of web-only.

Nice! This would be great.

Meanwhile, maybe someone codes GameVault plugin for Open Gamepad UI. That would close the loop perfectly!

Absolutely agreed. This is a perfect match for GOG. If this is any good, I hope someone writes a plugin that uses the GOG CLI to automate pulling from GOG and stashing the games, ready to be served through Drop alongside your other games.

I’ve seen similar comments regarding this. I’m a noob selfhoster. I would be very grateful if you could explain the concept.

Looks great, I hope it gets a sandbox mode. My kids would love this.

Aaahh… What a wonderful scene, the subscription model slowly sinking into oblivion.

That’s only real for the client app that they link to from their website. However, on their GH org, if you go to another repo with a similar name, and then go to releases, you’ll see a newer version only with source code packages, no binaries. Maybe they archived their old client and are in progress of a full client re-write ?

Absolutely! You could serve FOSS games, Abandonware, GOG games, whatever you want. And access them from anywhere, anytime. Pretty much like Plex / Jellyfin but for PC Games.

Yes, they have it documented in their docs. It uses UMU, just like every other major FOSS launcher out there.

I don’t know, that gives me the creeps though… unless they mean my own games “store”.

surprised they compare themselves to Steam/Epic when DRM-free is GoGs whole thing

It’s more mainstream, people are more aware of Steam and Epic than GOG.

absolutely ! Give it 2 years. it will be the best DE.

I’ll try it again, last time I tried installing a game, I was presented with an overwhelming screen with a gazillion input fields, I just clicked next, tried starting the installer, didn’t work… I instantly forgot about it.

Is there a good Star Wars mod for this?

Reap what you sow, Bungie.

Fool me twice, get a free ticket to fool me thrice.

I started using it like 2 weeks ago, loving it so far! Thank you for doing this!

Is there a store setting I can toggle so I only see games compatible with deck, machine, OS?

I can’t wait for Xbox to disappear.

LOL 😂

Ok, wow. Well, that kinda wraps it up for me. Fuck CLAs.

By at rest you mean not in transit or something like that?

I faintly remember they had some paywalled features or something like that. Is that true?

Good to know. it’s very tempting. It has every feature we need, and it integrates to every other relevant app I selfhost.

Do you keep a backup? How do you do it?
