This is more or less 4 issues in one.

HeroicGoGDL uses the far superior content system to downlad and install games. There is no benefit for adding the method that MiniGalaxy uses and go through the hassle of extracting the offline installer.

[MrArdillo]

Okay, and for the achievements part? Its in process or something?

[Lariaa]

On the GoG Side yes.
There is work on reimplementing the necessary service, called GalaxyCommunications.exe in the official Windows client.

For EpicGames Achievements are not yet supported in legendary, a module we are using.
All its author said is "may be supported in the future".

[MrArdillo]

Cool, but in Linux it will work too or is it exclusive for windows because of the service?

[flavioislima]

There is no cloud save for Linux so probably only windows games 😕

[imLinguin]

well it may be possible, since cloud store is the same for all platforms. We would need to have own API for Linux with locations of saves. Games like Stardew Valley work fine with saves copied from Windows version 😉. We need more research on that part

[MrArdillo]

That will be very nice but i refer more of the achievement pop up and in heroic menu like GOG 2.0 in windows in games like the witcher 3 for example

Hi everyone,

Sorry for messaging in a dead thread, but I could not find any better information online.

If I launch a game using Heroic, for example on Steam Deck, would Epic Games or GOG correctly register achievements? I don't mean UI responding in any way, I mean that the achievement will be later displayed in Epic Games/GOG if I log in later from a browser, for example.

Thank you so much!

[imLinguin]

Epic should register them, as far as I know. GOG needs more research regarding Galaxy Communication Service SDK. Like I said earlier.

[szszoke]

On the GoG Side yes.
There is work on reimplementing the necessary service, called GalaxyCommunications.exe in the official Windows client.

Is this work somewhere in a public repository and is there a way to contribute?

For GOG games, achievements are supported if comet is installed/enabled. Comet isn't a complete project yet, but it seems like the goal is to integrate it into Heroic later.

For Epic games, you must enable "EOS Overlay" per-game to support achievements. Because Legendary (the Epic store backend) does not support achievements.
