So in wanting to install one of my GoG games, I noticed it was missing from my Heroic Library even after I refreshed the game list and checked my filters.

It's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. (Apparently I also have Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus German Edition which does not appear in Heroic either)

Did it happen to anyone else ? Am I making a mistake somewhere, or should I file a bug ?

EDIT : If anyone wants to follow this (or maybe someone in the future has the same issue), I created an issue on Github here : Missing game in Heroic GoG Library (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus) · Issue #4491 · Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher

EDIT II : So, turns out the game was not showing up in GOG Galaxy either. People at Heroic told me to visit https://www.gog.com/account/refresh to trigger an account sync on GOG end, wait for a bit and check later. The game eventually showed up in GOG Galaxy and also in Heroic.

You could try clearing the cache in Heroic? It's under settings -> Advanced

Thanks, I just did that then restarted Heroic but still no change :-/

[–] bmsuseluda@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

i would recommend to create an issue on the heroic github. i think the creators can help more with analyzing

How recently was it added to your GoG library? It's not uncommon for new games to not show up for awhile if GoG is having any server issues.

If the game isn't a recent addition to your library, and relogging into GoG doesn't fix it, you might try Junk Store and see if it shows the game.

It's been a few days, Junk Store shows it but I'd really like to have it in heroic too.

Imma try to log out and check back!

[–] lou.lueder@feddit.online 1 points 10 months ago

Well, logging out of GoG, clearing the cache, restarting and logging back in didn't do the trick. I'm going to open an issue on Github then.

Sounds like some kind of censorship. Do you have a VPN that places you in Germany? Germany is weird with the Wolfenstein games.

Germany is weird with the Wolfenstein games

Not anymore. You can buy the non-german Wolfenstein games for a while now (since 2019).

I think I remember that around the release of This War of Mine and Wolfenstein 2, there were some more discussions about just flat out banning Nazi symbols in video games, and treating them as art.

Porn and Hentai games are still pretty much all blocked on Steam, and some gory stuff, which I don't get. You can't buy Dying Light (but you can buy the DLC) on Steam or GOG, but Doom, where you're ripping apart demons, is ok.

Haha, no I'm in France and I don't use a VPN. I think if it were censorship, the game would not show up at all on GoG either ?
