There seems to be no 64bit version of the RoG DLC included in the GOG version. Such version does exists according to Klei's support/forums.

The start.sh for Don't Starve supposedly detects the architecture and starts either the 32bit or 64bit game, thus for me it starts the 64bit version which cannot use the 32bit DLC as far as I know (and actually tried).

A solution would be to use the 32bit game and the DLC, but since a 64bit version of the DLC exists, it would be nice to include it in the .tar.gz available @GOG.

Send a support ticket. ;)

I'm running slackware64, dlc is running fine in 64bit mode for me. If you look at dlc tar.gz it has installations for both 32/64 bit (I'd be surprised if they weren't exact same, knowing that dlc is just assets/lua source files so nothing arch specific, but regardless). You can just copy Dont Starve/content/dontstarve64/* from dlc to wherever your 64bit ds installation is and it should work just fine - that install script gave me just a headache.

Uhh.. my tar.gz only has the 32bit. I'll download again and check it out, thanks!

Edit. Yep, redownloaded and now I have the 64bit version. That was strange.

Strange indeed O.o We always make sure to include both versions whenever they are available.

The archive must have been somehow corrupted when I first downloaded it..

Still, the fact that you were able to open it is odd if it was corrupted. Curiouser and curiouser :) Anyways, glad to hear everything is sorted :)

Actually, that happened with Wasteland 2 also. I downloaded, extracted but the game didn't work. Looked at the folder size: 6,4Gb! It was only half of what it should have been.. but no errors when extracting :) Re-download solved that also.

Again, more strangeness. I don't know, maybe I am too used to the way Windows works with archives, that is, it doesn't open them at all if they are corrupted (I use Windows at work :) ) .

Definitely odd. I'd have thought that the gzip compression would prevent extraction unless the archive was complete. However, if it was somehow an uncompressed tar archive, then that might explain it.

Tar is an append-friendly streaming format originally designed for tape drives, where each file record is self-contained. By contrast, if you're missing the table of contents at the end of a Zip file, it's as good as garbage.
