I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

I recommend Heroic Games Launcher for GOG games, it’s much nicer to use, IMO.

You didn’t post the error you’re getting.

You can log into GOG through Lutris too, and install and launch games through that.

That doesn’t allow you to update the game though, so it doesn’t work out great for new games with frequent updates and a large download file size.

I have only used it to download older games, so I have no idea how it handles updates.

@Dubious_Fart @Raincloud I get this error when I play some games from GOG through heroic which happens on steam deck. Also, controller support is not great on gog through heroic. So, this makes me stay on steam to play games. Anyway, I hear that steam has drm free games so if BG3 and Star field are drm free then it doesn’t matter if it’s on steam or gog.

I thought Heroic was an alternative launcher for Epic Games, I guess I didn’t consider that it would work for GOG games as well.

Heroic supports Epic, GoG, and now Amazon games. Supports installs, updates, file validation, and uninstalls perfectly. I think for Epic it supports cloud saves as well, but I don’t use that feature and have heard horror stories from early adopters of it.
