EDIT: i updated my script to update the cache files remove any unwanted games. https://gist.github.com/maluramichael/31dc56cfc28bb65a2e8157319f6b5d39

Is it possible to skip certain games? I would like to skip chernobylite and cyberpunk because they are huge. Right now i run this script to download my games.

lgogdownloader \
--update-cache \
--language=de,en \
--threads 8 \
--info-threads 12 \
--cache-valid 604800

lgogdownloader \

--use-cache \

--platform w \
--language de,en \
--save-serials \

I just got this error for newly released Skyrim Anniversary edition (game id 1801825368):

> Only generation 2 builds are supported currently

It can't be they are using the old generation build. Did they make a new one may be (generation 3)?

Somehow it worked fine for special edition of the game (id 1711230643) which includes less addons.

Hello Sude, once again, thanks for the work with this tool.
I've been using my distribution repository lgogdownloader version and yours for testing and I couldn't find a way to uninstall your version after it's built from source, so I just manually deleted the files.

How can I uninstall it after building it from source? Thanks and sorry if it's a dumb question. :)

You can use regex to filter certain games
See perl lookaround assertions
Especially the negative lookahead (?!pattern)

For example this excludes everything that contains chernobylite or cyberpunk anywhere in the name
--game '^(?!.*(chernobylite|cyberpunk).*).*$'

According to gogdb Anniversary Edition seems to be handled as DLC for Special Edition and doesn't actually have any builds
https://www.gogdb.org/product/1801825368#builds
SE shows AE as a product included in build manifest
https://www.gogdb.org/product/1711230643/build/55846306920288567

Therefore installing SE with --galaxy-install will install AE if user owns AE at the moment because --galaxy-install doesn't filter DLCs currently
I'll have to add support for excluding DLCs to --galaxy-install
It should be just a few lines of code I think. I'll try to get it done during the weekend after I've reviewed the pull request to add cloud save support.

CMake doesn't provide "make uninstall" target so you have to manually delete the files.
However CMake does generate install_manifest.txt file in the build directory
You can use install_manifest.txt to check which files to delete or automate it using xargs
xargs rm < install_manifest.txt

Thanks for the clarification, really. :)

Big thanks to loki-47-6F-64 for the pull request.

211a0a8 Galaxy: Add initial support for ignoring DLCs
Adds support to ignore all DLCs when installing game with --galaxy-install
Either --exclude dlcs or make sure you don't --include dlcs
Eventually I'd like users to be able to choose which DLCs to ignore instead of this being all or nothing but that will require some bigger changes

With GOG embracing DRM now, backing up my entire catalogue, properly, suddenly became a lot more important. Thank you for this script, it's fantastic. I'm now looking into more storage options as 500GB free probably won't cut it.

Why must everything good die? :(

hello :)
using command to update cache: lgogdownloader --update-cache --size-only
version is lgogdownloader-git-3.9.r15.g211a0a8

aam i correct that links are missing?

Is it possible to do a dry run or test run, to check how much harddisk space it would require to download my entire library?

Having the same issue while it was working before, I'm thinking GOG changed something in their api and that it's currently broken

The response code error message was added with cloud save support in c97a828

The 404 messages are caused by unowned DLCs. lgogdownloader tries to get info about a file but because user doesn't own it GOG returns 404 error. GOG should probably respond with 403 but then again GOG API responses have always been "special". Before commit c97a828 those errors were just silently ignored

e5d347d Adds option to set message verbosity level and no longer prints these messages by default.
The verbosity levels I set for current messages will probably need some adjustments later.

Reassuring!
Thank you again for this essential software, perspective of not being able to update my game backups automatically really didn't sound like fun.

Sude thanks for your brilliant program!

Just one question: do i need to put this "--game '^(?!.*(the_witcher_3).*).*$'" before or after the --use-cache to exclude the witcher 3?

Can someone compile this for Windows?
