Gogrepoc automatically deduplicates files within a particular game, though only if the filenames match ( symbolic links vary across OSes so can't just deduplicate different names without potentially breaking installer sets ), so the most common thing this does is clean up duplicate extras between a game and it's DLC.

Ah, so not when the same files exist across different games (like TW3 with its editions, or games that used to be bundled but are not separated out, and the same extras were tossed into each separate title). Gotcha.

Yeah, the lack of a "shared" symbol link understanding across OS's means that probably the best way to indicate deduplication across games would be a text file, and if things desync then that's no good.

Linux's hard symbolic links are what are needed for something like this to be effective and relatively clean. Though even that would still suck a bit maintenance wise.

GOGRepoC does not seem to be able to fetch the serial keys for x4_foundations_game. I can log this is a ticket on GitHub if you'd like.

Yes, please , please provide all details you can ( don't think I own this game which makes probing it more difficult )

ETA - I do own this game but apparently the version I own isn't any of the ones currently on sale so that's potentially another layer of fun

That is an odd case because I have X4: Foundations + four DLCs (bought separately I think), but behind that link, I don't own any of the editions of that game, including the standard edition (includes the base game + wallpaper)?

Is this a similar case as with Fallout 1-2 games where the earlier "base game" has been replaced in the store with some different kind of base game? (I have pre-Bethesda Fallout 1-2 on GOG, so the current Fallout 1-2 in the store are not marked as owned to me).

Not sure if that is in any way related to that problem you saw, but it seems messy... I sure hope my version of X4: Foundations is still getting all the updates, though.

EDIT: Luckily my version appears to be the latest 6.20 version (the last changelog is for the 6.10 version I think?).

It's not like Fallout. Interplay's and Bethesda's fallouts are different games (by that I mean they have their own library entries).

In the case of X4, they have just remade various packages over and over. So if you want a comparison, Bloodrayne is a better example. There used to be a "BloodRayne Complete Bundle" that was replaced (not renamed) with "BloodRayne Absolute Bundle".

=======================================

Same. I own the game with most DLCs, but none of the 3 current editions. It's just the usual GOG packaging mess.
