Right now I am running GOG Galaxy in bottles and it is mostly stable. However, I don’t like how GOG Galaxy constantly is showing ads and harvesting data.
What I am looking for is another Windows launcher that can manage GOG games. Ideally it should be simple and work with a controller.
I also need an alternative to the cloud sync. I think it might be possible to either use Syncthing to sync folders or to setup a network share and then use some scripting to save my progress once I’m done playing. The biggest issue I have is that I don’t know how to import my GOG cloud saves into the offline installer.
I used Playnite on windows back when I had Windows, it syncs with GOG and everything else.
But I find it much better to use Heroic and have one wine prefix per game. Easier to sort out compatibility and config issues.
Plus it has a beta cloud sync thing. I dont know if it uses the store’s sync system (GOG, Epic, etc) or if it’s a Heroic service on it’s own.
You could also have syncthing backup your Wine prefixes, that way you not only sync your save games, but also your whole configuration.
I don’t want to spend time trying to get games working. Either they work right away or I return them. I play older games that are well tested anyway.
Basically I am using Bottles so I don’t have to care.
Why tf are you using GOG Galaxy under Bottles when Lutris is better than Bottles in every single way and integrates directly with your GOG account, meaning you don’t need GOG Galaxy at all? This is like pulling the handbrake on your car and pushing it uphill instead of turning it on and driving it, in terms of how needlessly difficult you’re making things for yourself.
Does Lutris support GOG cloud sync?
I don’t use the feature, so I’m not aware if it’s supported.
Check out Playnite then. I’m not sure about cloud save, but I liked it very much on Windows.
