GOG shit up the login with a reCAPTCHA. Means lgogdownloader can't login anymore unless GOG removes the forced reCAPTCHA on the initial login attempt.

The workaround is just what it said 'Login with browser and export cookies to "$HOME/.config/lgogdownloader/cookies.txt" So, login to the site in your browser and, while logged in, export your cookies (.gog.com, login.gog.com) to the file $HOME/.config/lgogdownloader/cookies.txt. Depends on what browser you use as to how you do that. Once you have a valid cookies.txt then lgogdownloader uses that to authenticate itself; no need to use --login.

Didn't test it, but you may only need a valid login.gog.com galaxy-login-al cookie for --login to work.

Thanks for the explanation Gydion, sadly it doesn't seem to work for me. I seem to have the same problem asCrisMotinha.

So after I copied the file into the .config/lgogdownloader folder I re-login with "lgogdownloader --login" and then I have to type in my email & pwd again? Or is there already a problem?

Edit: Also, logging in with --login-api also doesn't seem to work.

Yes. You don't use --login again. A proper cookies.txt already has you logged in. Just start downloading, e.g. lgogdownloader --download --include installers --platform linux --game witcher_2.

Also, GOG seems to have turned off the forced reCAPTCHA when logging in via the browser for the moment.

34e3af3 Ignore DLC count information for specific games

The downloader now uses a list of games that are known to have DLC.
https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader-lists/blob/master/game_has_dlc.txt

This allows lgogdownloader to ignore the dlc count information that GOG provides for those games.
This means that --ignore-dlc-count is only needed when the list of games isn't up to date.

The cover list hasn't been updated in a long time but I moved it to the same git repository in the hopes that maybe someone decides to update it and send a pull request
https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader-lists/blob/master/covers.xml

If you have the old cover list url in your config file then you should change it to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader-lists/master/covers.xml because the old cover list (https://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/covers.xml) won't be updated.
Either edit the config file or run "lgogdownloader --cover-list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader-lists/master/covers.xml --save-config"

If some game is missing from the list of games then let me know here or send a pull request on github.
I haven't checked if it contains all the games. I created the list automatically from MaGog's database. I couldn't figure out an easy way to determine which games had DLC but managed to make a list that seems to have most of the games.

Here is how I generated the list from MaGog's database if anyone is interested.
There's probably a much better way of doing this but this seemed to work well enough.

Get MaGog database in text format Get "pack_str" field (field 117) of every game that has "is_dlc" field (field 21) set to " 1 "
Get rid of any white space and only take the first id (assume that the first id is the id of base game) and remove duplicate entries Determine the base game names from download urls in "downloadables" or "all_files" fields (field 80 and 88)
This assumes that the first url contains the base game name Create a list in the blacklist format that lgogdownloader uses

Does the dependency on tinyxml2 replace the dep on tinyxml or are they both still needed?

It replaces tinyxml

Trying to download The Dwarves (using the version packaged in Debian testing, which is 3.0).

Some bug?

OK, the game is called dwarves_the

I re-logged in and called it like this:

lgogdownloader --platform l --download --game dwarves_the

it worked, but output looks pretty messed up:

Hello I wanna repair a Witcher 2 linux game installer, I did

$ lgogdownloader --repair --download --game the_witcher_2

But it begins to download windows version. How can I repair my "gog_the_witcher_2_assassins_of_kings_enhanced_edition_2.2.0.8", assuming that it is on my home folder? I'm not a terminal wizard, but is it something like this

$ gogdownloader --repair --download --plataform 4 --game the_witcher_2

?

I just tried downloading Tyranny with lgogdownloader (packaged in Debian), and it maxes out at 100 - 250 KB / s. When downloading from the browser I get around 12 MB / s. What can be causing the slowdown?

UPDATE:

I see I had

limit-rate = 0
in
$HOME/.config/lgogdownloader/config.cfg

Weird thing is, when it's set that way in cfg file - it's getting cut at ~200 KB/s. When its removed - it's uncapped. When passed as command line parameter --limit-rate 0 it's also uncapped. Looks like a bug to me.

UPDATE2:

Disregard all the above. Looks like my ISP is messing with me. I just connected using a VPN, and all is back to normal. Really weird.

What size is the file you have? Believe it needs to be the same or possibly try with just --repair.

I solved it changing the config file to just download the linux game version. But I still don't know (how to use) the --plataform function.

typo? it's --platform

Found out about this tool, thought I'd give it a try but I can't get it working. Hoping somebody here can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

No matter what command line options I use, I get the same result - it asks me for my email and password, tells me it's saving the config, then does nothing. If I try to download a game, it looks like it tries to download some zero-length files but nothing is written to disk. I've confirmed it actually is writting the config file, and that the 'secret' and 'token' values are being set. I get the same results installing from jessie-backports and building from the current source.

Installed version is reported as LGOGDownloader 3.0, apt lists it as 3.0-1~bpo8+1.

Here's an example of what happens when I try to use it (edited slightly to remove personal info):
