Weird behaviour with linux native game arguments
🐧linux✅solved
For the game ∆V(deltaV): Rings of Saturn, from GOG. To enable mods on Windows with the GOG Galaxy launcher you would add --enable-mods into the arguments field. Most everyone on ∆V's discord who are on Linux and mod their game are running it through Steam, where the same argument works as expected. One other person in the Linux had ∆V installed through Lutris, and the argument doesn't work in the Game Arguments there either. I've tried -enable-mods as well. The other person had figured out a slightly janky workaround, by adding the argument into the game's start.sh file directly.
How does the HGL game settings apply the Game Arguments? The janky work around is to add the argument in the Actions section after ./"Delta-V.x86_64" on line 20, where the dev says they would expect it to be functional under Options after define_option "-s" "--start" "start ${GAME_NAME}" "run_game" "$@" on line 28. Is this where Game Arguments get applied in whatever layer HGL does before launching the game? Is the issue with the formatting where HGL (and I assume Lutris) are expecting Arguments to be formatted as -enable-mods but the game is expecting the format to be --enable-mods?
Not really sure what if any logs would be useful?

Solution
Alright, looked at it more closely. The problem is that the GOG scripts throw away the arguments in various places:
- As we've established already,
-
-
-
All of those lines need an extra
I have only tested with the demo version of the game (which seems to lack modding support?), but I can confirm that the parameter is passed along with those changes
- As we've established already,
start.sh-
start.sh-
support/gog_com.shlib-
support/gog_com.shlibAll of those lines need an extra
