Lands of Lore will not launch.
Trying to launch Lands of Lore (GoG) and launcher attempts to run the game. system logs during the attempt shows only a warning: "(00:41:22) [WARNING]: No clientId in goggame-1207662513.info file. Cannot resolve save path" every other entry related to the attempt is listed as [INFO] or [DEBUG] OS is currently Ubuntu 25.04, launch.log appended.

As Lands of Lore is a DOS game, you can try installing the DOSBox Staging flatpak and Heroic will use that instead of trying to run the one bundled with the game.

Will Heroic detect that on its own or will i need to re-install Lands of Lore or do something else for it to work?

I don't know. I think it's automatic.

Installing the DOSBox Staging flatpak did not allow the game to run, only change to log is [PYI-506:ERROR] instead of the [PYI-4526:ERROR] stated in the attached log, entire rest of that line remains the same.
changed distro to cachyos, still same issue. not sure why there's not a dosbox folder if it's looking for one? guess i might have to dig into the directory and try to find what it thinks is missing.
Yeah looks like this game doesn't come with DOSBox: https://www.gogdb.org/product/1207662513/build/52095488219197517
There are config files mentioned here, but no actual executable
https://api.gog.com/v2/games/1207662513 has
isUsingDosBox set to true, so that might be something gogdl can look for
The game is unavailable on GOG, so I can't really test anything herecorrect-apricotOP•2w ago

just checked under win and lin, win install has dosbox in it but under lin there are no folders at all. im confused as to why the installer would have less contents under linux?
Checking the log, this looks relevant:
Yeah there's no
DOSBox074glideC. There is DOSBox074glide, and https://www.gogdb.org/meta/988eced1ba00e25e526e7c37b89658a6 lists the dependency as DOSBox074_2CS instead (which we also have). Looking into how we arrived at DOSBox074glideC
Ah I see, we're pulling in the v1 manifest. Seems the v2 one is unlisted?
@Linguin Might need your help here. I've confirmed that GOG Galaxy is also pulling in the v1 build, but they are installing the dependency correctly. I'm not sure how
I'm also curious on why the v2 build is unlisted. Also, GOGDB claims that only the Windows build is unlisted ("Builds" list on GOGDB), but https://content-system.gog.com/products/1207662513/os/osx/builds only returns the v1 one as well. Perhaps something for the GOG folks to look into? Seems they've put in the work of making the build, but now just don't list itabsent-sapphire•2w ago
there seems to be something up with with dependencies
I’ll try to find some time for this issue this week
