Witcher 3 stuck at 0% Download

As stated, I cannot get The Witcher 3 to install from GOG. I have tried letting it sit for up to a couple of hours without any success. There are no game files in the folder path (~/Games/Temp) I have set for the game to install to at any time while letting it sit. I will attach the log once I get the file.

Log as seen after letting the launcher sit attempting to install for roughly 45 minutes.

I did take a quick look at that one earlier and it does sound similar I seem to get a bunch of [API] INFO: invalid secure link response and eventually it seems to stop trying after it gives this error [API] INFO: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

try logging in again if problem persists try another connection or VPN
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
what do you mean another connection?
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
maybe it's issue from ISP

I'm able to download other GOG games, such as OpenTTD without this issue occuring, if that helps. I'll try relogging, however I don't have the ability to try another connection as it's a desktop and doesn't have wifi so I can't try hotspotting off my phone unfortunately. I will also attempt a VPN once I set one up. relogging seems to have generated the same error still. Moving on to VPN. Welp. VPN has not helped either. Still getting the same errors in the logs Last log of attempting Witcher3, cancelling, then attempting and succeeding to download OpenTTD.

and the log for that particular download:

No issues with the "no secure link" error on this one at all
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
that's because you don't use that API it's a native game
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
which api?
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
secure link one
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
is that just relative to installing windows games to linux? I'd like to run a test for a similar type of connection on a different game if I can but not sure how to do so accurately
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
just download any game's windows version Linux downloads don't support that API, so they don't work
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
so if a game offers both windows and linux, as long as I select windows it should work as a test?
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
yes

The main log and the game specific log

so this narrows the issue down to Depot version: 2 since

okay I can keep trying other games to see if any others trigger the same thing on depot 2 or if any work on depot 2 otherwise

So this is working okay and appears to be another Depot 2 :Thonk: šŸ˜†

hmm, so it's Witcher 3 only thing?
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
so far it seems to be that way
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
similarily to Her Story

xenial-blackOP•2y ago
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
Yeah it seems to just be an issue with the Witcher 3 in particular šŸ˜ž

try downloading without DLCs

xenial-blackOP•2y ago

hm. I'm Canada, issues both with and without VPN I don't have the complete edition though

the only difference is that it contains all the DLCs in the build
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
does it have the same app id (or whatever its called)? I'm out of things I can think of to test / try at the moment
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
it doesn't
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
hmm. If I was able to install the game to a windows machine (assuming the download works), could I copy the game files to the linux machine and import it into the launcher successfully? or does it have to be installed via the heroic launcher for the appropriate wine / proton layers to be set up?
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
you can copy the game and import it
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
alright
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
using Galaxy? or offline installers or Heroic?
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ I'm willing to try any or all
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
try Galaxy then
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
alright I'll give an install via Galaxy a try first and I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thank you for your time today, I know it's been a lot of not much happening, but it's been very appreciated. šŸ’™ Alright, have an update. Found the problem. Heroic displays the game as if I own it. Turns out, I own DLC for it, but I don't own the base game. So It can't download anything. so turns out it's my fault, for not owning it. I just didn't know I didn't own it, because Heroic doesn't tell me that. 🤣 It doesn't show me the game at all in Galaxy, but when I looked online it was there, when I checked the downloads is when I discovered I only own DLC and not the base game. šŸ‘

continuing-cyan•2y ago
oh really? how did GOG even allow that nevertheless it should be fixed in next relase, since I changed the way we sync the library to be the same as Galaxy
xenial-black
xenial-blackOP•2y ago
okay that sounds good thank you again for all of your help today
continuing-cyan
continuing-cyan•2y ago
and thank you for finding that bug šŸ™‚
