[Linux][GOG] Mod Manager not showing in the main menu

[Mydayyy]

Hi all,

I am currently facing the problem that the Mod Manager is not showing up in my main menu. ( https://i.imgur.com/7V4clfK.jpg ). From what I gather, the mod tools are not available on linux, but the mod manager should actually be working.

I also tried to just install some mods in order to force it to show up, although I am not sure in what the correct location for mods is. I tried the following directories:

/mnt/MainData/Games/SurvivingMars/game/mods
/mnt/MainData/Games/SurvivingMars/mods
/home/mydayyy/.local/share/Surviving Mars/mods

greetings
Mydayyy

This page tells you the correct location to put mod files, from the instructions on this page and it varies depending on what operating system you are using (in my case, a Linux-based operating system)... But I too cannot see the "mod manager" menu, so we might need to report it as a bug.

I assume you're running gog version on Linux?

How do you actually download the file?

Yeah it might be a dumb question to some, but I also find that Github doesn't exactly make it obvious where the "download" links are, preferring instead to offer me the code behind a project...

It worked!

For me - a GOG.com user - I copied "BinAssets" and "README.MD" to (which was the default installation directory for me):
/Home/GOG Games/Surviving Mars/game/<folder and file here>

Thanks!

Ha, funny - so it is indeed a bug with the gog linux version and I am not crazy.

Nevertheless, I already refunded the game two months ago after not being able to resolve it myself.

Thanks anyways!

Updated the link with the new Curiosity revision.

Not sure why they didn't fix this, it's a simple fix.

I've reported it as a bug, so hopefully they implement a fix in the near future... Feel free to add a comment there, if you wish.

 

[ChoGGi_2]

Yeah, I just did that now.
