bg3 from GoG not doing the cloud thing?
So... this may not be steam-deck related, but now (with the latest proton) that it's working, I'm not getting my cloud saves... any idea why that's not being offered?

cloud saves are enabled only with GOG Galaxy at this moment
this is limitation of the game to make sure you have legitimate copy, currently Heroic doesn't mimic that part of GOG Galaxy

Is it possible to invoke GoG in a manner that would then invoke BG3? Why do cloud saves work when I launch it (on my windows PC) directly from vortex, skipping the launcher and GoG?

do you have GOG running in the background?
you don't need to run the game through the GOG Galaxy to use it's features, Galaxy needs to be running in the background

Often GoG isn't running. I suppose I'll pay more attention.
... so would it work if GoG was running "in the background" on deck?
stormy-gold•2y ago
yes

.... hrm... will try that tonight.
oh... for this to work with wine/proton --- do they need to be running "in the same prefix" ?
stormy-gold•2y ago
no, Galaxy and game communicates through TCP socket

sweet
stormy-gold•2y ago
so same prefix isn't required

would it be enough to just have GoG running ... I think it has a linux client.
stormy-gold•2y ago
it doesn't have Linux client, that's why we created support for GOG in Heroic
passive-yellowOP•2y ago
rgr. Although I thought GoG had linux games ... willing to be wrong on that.
stormy-gold•2y ago
they have Linux games, no client though

I really like non-DRM games ... so I'm aligned with GoG ... but I really love my open platform too... torn.
stormy-gold•2y ago
you have to download them from the website

ah. tx. I mean ... I play zork ... or some such dos game just by copying the winblows directory --- they're not complicated.
... but yeah... thanks.
