heroic failing to open page for FlatOut on GOG
Just claimed FlatOut on GOG's giveaway. With a refresh it's showing in heroic - but I get "Cannot get game info" when I try to open it up in Heroic (prior to install). Seems it's calling gogdl with "1207658693 --os linux" which fails. Doing it manually with "--os windows" works.

Is there a way to force it to use the Windows version?

hmm
I tried a few times but now I can't seem to reproduce this
it did
but after few retries

probably GOG is having a stroke

the former is what I was seeing - but now it seems it's fixed
I guess something on the GOG side
that said; what if I did want to use the Windows build with Proton? I've no idea about FlatOut but there are plenty of steam games with a native build that is not preferable to the Windows one
ah ignore me - UI already covers that doesn't it
so clearly it was just getting crap back from the GOG API

yep, there's an option to pick Linux or Win builds during the installation process
