Hi,
I purchased Chaosbane 2 days ago but I've ditched Windows 1 year ago and now I'm using Linux and I didn't see that what I've purchased only works on Windows and now I can't install the game on Linux (Mint 21 Cinnamon) because it says that the files are corrupted, and I don't know what to do...
I mean, I already contacted GOG support yesterday explaining the situation but I'm not sure that my message went through because I was asked to upload crash log report file or something, which I didn't know how to get since I (still) suck at Linux 1 year into using it, so I uploaded different file and clicked "Send" but nothing happened, and when I refreshed the page (after having waited for 1-2 minutes for the message to be sent) I noticed a status update saying that the message had been sent, but I still doubt it (because of that file that I never uploaded and which was mandatory in order for the message to go through)...
Anyway, long story short: I purchased Warhammer Chaosbane, I downloaded all 14 files, but couldn't install the game because I'm on Linux while the game was for Windows.
So, what can I do in this case? Can someone send me the files that work on Linux? Or is there a fix? I am playing lots of games on Linux by simply having Wine installed and clicking on the .exe file and the system does the rest. But for some reason, for this game this trick doesn't work, so I'm lost what to do...
