Achievements

[MaoDzeDun]

I know this is probably not possible, but is there a way for us to get the GOG achievements when playing Windows games with Proton? I know we can't do that for the native ones, because they don't have the functionlaity implemented (thanks CDPR), but I was wondeing if something could be done for the Windows games. I guess, somehow running them through the GOG Galaxy client would be a must.

I have managed to install GOG Galaxy in Proton and use it as a "custom emulator". Games can be launched with Galaxy in the same prefix. It should be possible to automate that combo at least partially.

I need a list of Wine/Proton tweaks to maximize compatibility with Galaxy and as many games as possible.

About achievements: I probably want to fetch them and show them in UI for Steam and GOG games. I also want to fetch Steam/GOG playtime and implement own playtime tracking in future.

It should be researched if there's an API to get GOG achievements and playtime like for Steam games. If there's no such API, it should be possible to get anyway by parsing HTML.

(that part should probably be extracted into a separate issue)

Wonder if the guy behind ProtonDB won't be able to help with that. I know they just implemented a recommended tweaks functionality to their entries, so in theory they should have that in they database.

ProtonDB lists only Steam games. It also doesn't have tweaks for all games and tweaks are probably just some human-readable text.

I know that's completely unrelated with this issue, but if you want that, my suggestion is to open a new repository in GitHub and ask people to fill issues for GOG games running in Proton/Wine. Eventually GameHub can include a list of "whitelisted" games using Pronto/Wine (with a special tag, maybe?).

There is achievements API on GOG. That API returns many useful info.

This is very interesting. You think it can work for native games too or do they have to have the achievement functionality explitely coded in when ported, for it to actually work?

[tkashkin]

It won't work for native GOG games.

You could try to add retroachievements... It could work good with retroarch games

I think this would be a great thing to implement, along with a direct file downloads option (as opposed to downloading the installer then having to delete it after) and time tracking. Should all be under the same api right?
