I'm not sure which one of these is meaningful so have a look at the whole thing.

What I need to know is if reading the "path" key in that registry section is enough to get the path to the data or if some subdirectory needs to be added - a few installations have the real data in some subfolder, e.g. "gameroot".

What am I supposed to be looking for and posting here for Graf, then?

No, that's only the last installation location that the next installer that you run will use as default path.

That was a weird edit.

So, Nash, try the offline installers if you installed via GOG Galaxy.
I have been using only the offline installers the whole time. Never ever used the GOG Galaxy thing.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GOG.com

1207658730 is Duke3D Atomic
1207658856 is Blood One Whole Unit

Is this information relevant?

Double detection removed.
If any paths are still missing, I need full info about how to set it up, i.e. registry key, subkey to the directory and if needed, additional path components to get to the actual game data.

Alright, so, it seems autodetection works now, but not entirely correct.

For some reason Nuclear Winter, Carribean, and DC have duplicate entries, one for each listing the addons slightly different. SW's expansions (from Redux) are also not found, only the base game is. I'm using the Steam version of the games (Duke is from the Megaton edition).

When I add the paths manually, the expansions are listed without the short names in parentheses, to those are the duplicate entries.

I was the one having the problems with Redneck Rampage, but managed to fix it by removing the GOG Galaxy-installed version and reverted to the offline-installer. So, Nash, try the offline installers if you installed via GOG Galaxy.

You'll have to check your registry. Apparently GOG changed their naming scheme and those new names are not on the list yet.

Autodetection seems to be somewhat working for me with 0.4.1. It successfully detected my Steam installs - Duke World Tour, Shadow Warrior Classic and Ion Fury. It however failed to detected my GOG installs. I have Duke Atomic and Blood installed under D:/Games/GOG Games.

This happens with a fresh config file out of the box. This is what I have, and if I drop $STEAM, nothing gets found.

Code: Select all

# This file was generated by Raze <unknown version>
# These are the directories to automatically search for game data.
# Each directory should be on a separate line, preceded by Path=
[GameSearch.Directories]
Path=.
Path=./*
Path=$PROGDIR
Path=$PROGDIR/*
Path=$STEAM

# These are the directories to search for add-ons added with the -file
# command line parameter, if they cannot be found with the path
# as-is. Layout is the same as for GameSearch.Directories
[FileSearch.Directories]
Path=$PROGDIR
Path=$GAMEDIR

Loading either of the duplicates is loading the same data according to the log. Would it be an option to add some extra lines to the console as it builds the game list to try and see what's happening there? The game is only defined once in the datatable of registry keys.

That leaves the RR issue. What I need there is a bit more info on the unhandled case mentioned above. If someone has the version with the 1207658674 key, what I need is two things:

1) Does this point to RR only or to a common directory of RR and RRRA? If the former, is there a secondary key for RRRA? If the latter, how does the path need to be expanded to find the games?

Confirming the latest git master performs Steam lookups as expected.

I installed the game via GOG Galaxy (v1.2). Maybe the GOGREDNECKRAMPAGE key is offline installer only. As far as where the other key points, it points to where Redneck Rampage and Suckin' Grits is, with RRRA in a 'again' folder within.
