![]() But it kinda sucks when you want to play some classic abandonware and need to jump through hoops for a game noone really cares about anymore. I understand why and I agree with the decision to not allow this (pretty much, piracy bad sez’ guys with power, so let’s not make the project get sued into oblivion on purpose). The problem is that Lutris scripts cannot in any way allow you to point to a non-legal source, not even a local.

Click Connect, next to the platforms you wish to access from GOG Galaxy 2.0. In this way we can save bandwidth and disk to get more FPS. Of course, like other clients, we will also find an option that will allow us to pause the downloads while we are playing.
