I get as far as the other paths but on flatseal, when I put the path to my sd card in, I get a an orange triangle with and exclamation mark at the start and a blue triangle with an exclamation mark at the end, so when I go to select the sd card when installing, it doesn’t show up. What am I doing wrong?
Good grief that is a lot of steps to get third party games to work. Thanks for the video. I still trying to decide between a steam deck, ROG Ally, and a Legion Go. This video helps.
Definitely not the deck my man, linux is a fucking pain in the ass, i have the OLED and i cant get this fucking piece of crap to connect to my home wifi because is based in a shitty personalized distro that valve doesnt update or want to adress for the minorities with wifi issues
@@australokI haven't had a single issue with mine, maybe you should have sent yours back, I've connected to anything from good wifi to gas station wifi without any problems
Can you show how to add mods to a GOG version of Cyberpunk 2077? I believe that video would get a lot of views simply because of the title plus the way you explain installations.
This doesn't work for me. The only thing I'm doing differently is not installing it on an SD card as I have the 512Gb version. Heroic won't launch via Steam in gaming mode with any Proton or Wine, and I cannot get GOG Dead Space (2008) to launch either. DS launches occasionally in Heroic on desktop with Wine GE 7.34, but fatally crashes every time I get to the first save point. It's driving me nuts! 😂😭
I cannot open folders view like in 3:22 when I click on that folder icon just nothing happen. Also I cannot login to epic, when chosing login then I have screen to select option how I want to login but whatever i click nothing happen... But other than that GOG and games from it works fine
Great vid, thanks was wondering since the new cyberpunk update just came out (september) there was a fix which cyberpunk would auto acknowledge the steam deck and auto change the decks video settings to run smooth @30 fps constant, will this still work the same when using the gog version through steam? Thanks
A lot of my GoG games keep stopping when downloading. Only a few have completely downloaded. I don't have that problem with Epic. However the ones that has downloaded run pretty damn good on the steam deck
I followed the instructions to install the GOG version of cyberpunk through Heroic but unfortunately the game instantly closes after clicking Play from Heroic Launcher. Any ideas?
Answered my own question. You have to click on the game's card, then click the settings gear on the card, then on the left side click Save-Sync. I forced a download and restarted the game and all my saves came through. Huzzah! Thanks for the vid btw
@@larryjacobs1280 Glad I could help!! I was searching online for over an hour before I figured it out so I definitely wanted to potentially save others the headache.
Why does no-one talk about how to copy your saves over from your pc? I think GOG's cloud saves aren't working. So can anyone help me work out where to put the cyberpunk saves from pc? Thanks
I just downloaded gog from the website added the installer to the non steam game, go to options and add the proton option, login downloaded the games I wanted and that's it. I don't know if your video is not updated and they change somethings, also I didn't have any problems accessing the SD card.
Unfortunately no game works after installing this way. I just get a black screen and tye option to quit game. Proton 9.0 (beta) - this was preinstalled on my deck.
I followed this tutorial to the T to install Cyberpunk but it didn't work. For some reason it thinks I only have 7gb free on my SD card even though I know there's at least 300gb. It instantly says it installed correctly, but nothing happens when I click play.
Got everything working and game loads but it's not accepting any input from the Steam Deck. Just gets to the end of the intro video and waits for me to do something but I can't...
Why does nobody talk about the save syncs, and how to get our save files from GOG onto the Steam Deck? I'm forced to restart CyberPunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 from scratch.
I'm planning on downloading my latest saves files for both games and send them to myself and then pasting those in the appropriate save folder on my steam deck. True that the saves won't sync for both games, but at least I don't have to start from scratch.
Am I missing something? When I try to install Cyberpunk, it keeps telling me " cannot get game info" , NOTE. I am not installing onto an SD card. I installed Heroic directly to my SDD. DO i need an SD to make this work?
Whenever I try to run Cyberpunk through epic it shows the loading screen and never launches. Any idea what proton it needs? I installed it through the gaming mode heroic launcher
After installing the game do you need to be signed into GOG / Heroic in order to access the game? In my infinite wisdom I made 2 GOG accounts & would suck to have to alternate between the two every time I wanted to play a specific game
But unless I'm mistaken you'll only see the games associated with whichever email you are currently logged in under in GOG? I'm assuming that would mean you would be forced to swap between the two emails since you can't add the game to Steam directly.
The Witcher 3 GOG version doesn't start and I have nothing to choose from in the Wine Version list (i.e. no proton even though it's installed as I can select in other non GOG games). Any help?
Hello,I Follow your video exactly, starting the heroic launcher on the desktop can run the game, but starting the heroic from steam can't run the game, what's the problem?
3:57, so I've gotten this far, but the game won't launch. It acts like it is starting, but then it just stops. Nothing in the Heroic Log is jumping out at me as a fatal error. the log looks like the application tried to run.
Hi Just came across this video followed it step by step but when I added the non steam game part and go to install to sd card in heroic it won't open so I cant change it any ideas what I'm doing wrong I've used the d pad and a to try open it and using touch screen but can't change folder
I'm trying to install cyberpunk off of gog after I click install it say 96 hours but I've installed a larger game in game mode and it took just a few minutes is there a fix for this
For the Linux games you have the option to install the Linux or Windows version of the game, so it would run natively, or through the compatibility layer
@@andrewtsaitips My first GOG installation of HOMM 3 Complete failed. I tried changing Proton versions but this doesn’t help. HOMM is short for Heroes of Might and Magic.
Can anyone help me, I am trying to set up gog account to ply empire earth on steam deck. But when I try to create an account all I get is “Invalid Captcha” what does this mean? And how do I fix it?
Hey I followed all the instructions perfectly but for Epic. However When I press install I immediately get the message "installed complete" any idea why its not working. Followed your instructions perfectly.
I'm sorry but from 2.10 onwards you totally lost me. Install what? From, where? I dont understand at all/ Also when I add the sd location it doesn't stay in place. it disappears. I'm beyond baffled.
@@armisg5664 actually that's how open source software works. as long as it's not used by just a handful of people, and the community is big enough, it's kind of policing itself. people who use it and know a bit of coding can always check what is happening, and if it's something fishy, the forums of that app, reddit, youtube, all will be on top of it also i think you are not actually providing the account info to the app itself. I think it's using the original logins, so it's more like in other sites when you use "log in with facebook"/"log in with google." or when you have embedded payment options inside cart of an online store, where you can log in with paypal or something. you are not providing the actual google/paypal account information to this 3rd party site.
Has anyone tried the gog version of Dragon Age Origins? I tried installing it with two or three different methods, but I can't get it running. And I don't have much time to spend tinkering it...
Thank you for that great videos. I get all the games running but I always loose my savegames on each game. Means I play,saveandexit the game. When i start again no savegame is found. I have that issue with Prodeus, Forgive me father and Graven so far. Does anyone has the same issue?

Only one with concise directions without the fluff on how to run cyberpunk on my deck
Thank you for this! Im trying to get everything figured out before (hopefully) getting my email in june.

Helped immensely
I was debating to buy Witcher 3 finally, GOG has on sale, but want to play on steam deck... this is a great option thanks!
Hell yeah bro, I got mine when they were giving the PC game for free if you owned it on console and linked to gog which was pretty nice of them
how did Witcher end up running off gog?

Thank you so much, I was having the issue with the wine location.

You can install internally too.

Excellent video, gonna try it out right now. :)
Is there a difference in terms of performance compared to the steam version?
It's cool that four guys like this comment, but an answer would please me more :D
@@Felix_Starke My answer is "I don't know."
I also would like to know whether my GOG version of W3 will run as good as the Steam version on the SD
Why would it run any different?
@@thenegotiator9701 Because of shader pre-caching. I heard that it makes a big difference in Elden Ring, so maybe in other games too.

How do you get your saves from the GOG cloud on the Heroic app? I installed CyberPunk 2077 from the Heroic up but it is asking to start a new game.
How to copy and past ?
This is great! However, is there a way to get cloud save syncs to work via Heroic or do you have to use a different method?
Cloud syncs work in Heroic if you look at individual game settings, you can set to manual or automatic.
@@andrewtsaitips Do you know how to do this specifically? I don't see anything labeled as a cloud save at all.
