No option for Linux native install

Hi, I've been trying to install the Linux native binary of Beautiful Desolation but despite being able to download the installer script for Linux from GOG directly, I don't get the "Select Platform version to install" option like on other multi-platform games in Heroic. I thought it might be because they're different version numbers between the Windows and Linux clients but I found another game in my library, Beholder 2, which also has different version numbers per platform but I'm still able to select the Linux version for that one. For Beautiful Desolation it is as if there is only the Windows version, no drop down.

I also tried the "Keep the game at specific version" checkbox but it still only shows Windows versions.

@Linguin knows about gogdl

something changed on GOG's end, because it used to be there for that game and now it's gone and we didn't change anything related to that

radical-lime•11/27/25, 6:26 PM

the API probably returns a Windows build only

radical-lime•11/27/25, 6:26 PM

idk why

verbal-limeOP•11/27/25, 6:27 PM

Ah okay, so no way around I guess other than possibly importing after doing an offline installer?

verbal-limeOP•11/28/25, 9:50 AM

Okay that does actually seem to work, installed with offline installer manually then used import game and Heroic seems fine with it, comet even still is reporting playing / game time on GOG itself even, so I guess the only trick to see is if achievements work :woohoo:

verbal-limeOP•11/28/25, 9:50 AM

Weird they'd remove it from the API if it used to be there though

radical-lime•11/28/25, 10:15 AM

so playtime is done by Heroic itself

radical-lime•11/28/25, 10:15 AM

comet does achievements

verbal-limeOP•11/28/25, 10:15 AM

ah right

radical-lime•11/28/25, 10:19 AM

but chances that achievements will work for a native game are slim

radical-lime•11/28/25, 10:19 AM

as devs mostly dont care

radical-lime•11/28/25, 10:19 AM

there are only a few titles that do work

verbal-limeOP•11/28/25, 11:30 AM

Ah yeah looks like doesn't work, since there's an achievement for starting a new game that didn't unlock, that's a shame

radical-lime•11/28/25, 11:55 AM

Windows build should work

radical-lime•11/28/25, 11:56 AM

might be more performant too

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 12:15 AM

Hopefully I'm okay to piggy back in this thread for this since it's a different question, but I didn't feel like it needed a new thread. Since I think it's comet related.

Stardew Valley, is the multiplayer only in the Windows build or should it be in native too? When I launch Windows version an go to co-op I get the option for invite code, but that's lacking when I run Linux version. Just because I see SDV mentioned in the comet wiki page as one that includes the SDK in the native build

radical-lime•11/29/25, 12:34 AM

I have not tested the latest build, maybe this is something that regressed

radical-lime•11/29/25, 12:34 AM

check comet log after you start the game, maybe it will show some hints

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 9:12 AM

nothing too revealing

Sounds like it should be working even, so maybe shouldn't made a new thread :thonk:

radical-lime•11/29/25, 9:24 AM

yeah this looks like some regression on the game's side

radical-lime•11/29/25, 10:29 AM

supposedly this could also mean a glibc update, make sure your system is up to date

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 10:39 AM

I did actually see there was a recent glibc update that broke STV where they were getting like endless "Connecting to online services" (https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/galaxy-api-not-loading-with-glibc-2-41.36974/) which said using patchelf --clear-execstack on two Galaxy libraries as a temp fix until glibc updated, the thread also said there was an update to glibc which some reporting it works and other it doesn't.

I actually have the game on both GOG and Steam so could test because my Steam ver was getting the bug even though my glibc is updated to 2.42. The clearing execstack with patchelf did work to fix that endless "Connecting to online services" thing though in steam, so I could try it on GOG too, even though it's not the same issue visually.

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 10:41 AM

Okay yea

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 10:41 AM

that actually worked

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 10:42 AM

Weird given the error displayed entirely differently, GOG not having invite code as an option, and Steam endless "Connecting to online services", and with my glibc being updated as well

verbal-limeOP•11/29/25, 10:42 AM

patchelf --clear-execstack libGalaxy64.so libGalaxyCSharpGlue.sopatchelf --clear-execstack libGalaxy64.so libGalaxyCSharpGlue.so in the game files sorted it all the same
