Hi everyone!

I have a few questions related to GOG.

Achievements:

Apparently they should work with Heroic through Comet. If I launch a GOG game in gaming mode as a non-steam game would it work as long as the checkbox about comet in Heroic is activated? Or do I have anything to do such as what’s decribed here https://github.com/imLinguin/comet/wiki/Usage or there https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1bursla/gog_achievements_with_comet_now_easier_usable/ ? The explanations are a bit complex for me and contradictory.

Downloads:

Is there a way to download a GOG game in the background while playing a Steam game in gaming mode?

I really want to support GOG and these features are important. Of course I know that the Steam Deck is subsidized by Valve and that we can’t have everything, but I hope GOG will be more Linux friendly in the future.

Thanks a lot.

        That’s correct. I believe they’re working on a way to get notifications working through Heroic, but at this stage you need to check your GOG profile for achievement unlocks.

          Okay thanks for the answer.

          As stupid as it sounds, I’d stop buying GOG games if they didn’t have achievements as I’m kind of motivated by them.

            I get that, I don’t think I’d necessarily stop buying from GOG, but I definitely look at Steam first for any games without GOG achievements. Hopefully the Comet guys come up with a solution for the popup UI soon!
