Plugin stuck on connecting
Closed this issue · 22 comments
First of all thanks for creating this plug in
I do how ever have an issue, when i follow your instructions to the letter the plugin restarts discord yes but nothing happens after that and it is kinda stuck on "Starting.."
And after that it shows "Failed to start, Retry"
And all i can do is repeat the process with the same result, i have both galaxy and discord open and updated to the latest versions
There's currently a bug in the integration that prevents it from working if you have no game installed through discord. (There are some free ones in the discord store)
If you already have a game installed or if the bug persists, can you please attach the logfile of the plugin to this issue?
I have tried several times with a game installed
but it remains stuck even after 30min+
Were can i find the the logfile for the plugin?
They're in C:/ProgramData/GOG.com/Galaxy/logs
Ok, that seems bad. Really bad if i'm right.
I'll try to explain what i think happened (I might be wrong though, this definitely needs more investigation):
Based on your logfile it seems as if the command 'Runtime.Evaluate', which is used to execute javascript in the discord client, is unsupported by your discord client. That is strange since it's a default feature of electron (the framework used by discord).
I think this might be discords reaction to this integration as they probably don't want their platform being used by gog galaxy, but it's just a guess and it needs more investigation.
I'll try to find a fix for it, but that seems like a major thing. I'll keep this issue updated about it.
tl:dr: Discord might be taking action against my integration and i need to investigate it :/
I went ahead and submitted a pull request for this at #2.
I have tried the new version, however, I'm still getting an error
Do i still need to have a game installed through Discord? Here's the log file, if needed:
plugin-discord-ce69028e-a7e4-462a-96d8-468259c298e2.log
That is correct. Once the Rockstar plugin is in a stable state, I plan on creating a new Discord plugin. This new plugin will use the actual Discord API, rather than JavaScript exploits, to get information regarding the user. It will likely take some time before this gets released in any usable state, but the general idea is there.
For now, however, having a game is required. The "fix" I made did nothing more than restore the original functionality of the plugin.
Well, I have now tried, after downloading Paladins from Discord, and the plug-in is still crushing. Seems I'll have to wait till later.
Also, I'd love to help, if there's anything I can do for the API version!
You are not alone on this one. After testing it myself, I am also getting this error. I will see if I can fix it quickly, but for all intents and purposes, this version of the plugin should be considered deprecated.
The attached build is working for me, and hopefully it fixes your issues, too. If you would like a very early copy of the API version of the plugin, then I can submit that for you, also. Just know that the API version is currently not as feature-complete as this version, but it shows promise.
This one, did indeed, work for me, even though i had uninstalled Paladins. I still have that in my Discord library tho, however GOG cannot see that at all.
Tbf, my goal was never to add the games from Discord, more than that, I wanted to get the friend recommendations, and atm, I have no idea if it works or not 😅
As for the API version, I'd love to see that. More to be able to check it out and see if I can help, than making any use out of it.
Honestly, I cannot tell whether friend recommendations even work on Galaxy 2.0 either, since I do not have many friends across accounts that have access to the beta. (As a side note, would you be willing to help me test social features for my Rockstar plugin? You will need a Social Club account, but it does not need to have any games on it. Message me on Discord (my username there is Tylerbrawl#1012) with your Social Club username if you are interested!)
Attached to this post is the current iteration of the planned API version. It is very basic right now (it only supports getting the user's username and discriminator), but when finished, it will prove to be far more expandable than the current plugin. Make sure to disconnect from the current Discord plugin before installing this version.
@Ertego - Feel free to mark this issue as "closed," unless @Haximaxi is having problems with this new version of the plugin.

I'm having the same issue and I don't see a «discord store» or anything like that in Discord. Is it OS specific? I'm using Mac OS latest

Discord more or less shut down their whole store, which makes this plugin kind of redundant. I'll maybe update it to no longer be affected of this bug

A lot of us still have large purchased, freebie, nitro and free-to-play titles in our libraries that are still playable, so while it probably has less demand now, it would still be useful for a fair portion of us (myself included).
I've installed a game via the client in the default destination and tried running both application as administrator and still the connection just loops and never links to Discord.
I hope you take another took at some tweaks to give it a higher success rate <3

I gave this a try and although it seems to connect (somewhere along the line), during the Discord restart it seems to loose its link and claims to be offline, with the option to 'retry', clicking this does nothing, disconnecting and attempting to reconnect presents the same issue https://prnt.sc/robwmt

I gave your API version a shot and it connected I'm guessing successfully? Hard to know when GOG doesn't give any indication as to what account it's pulling data from. Obviously its not showing any game or friend data, but at least we're over the connection hurdle!
Would be very interested to see how this plugin develops. Any progress in the last 4 months?
I haven't been working on it as of late. If Discord really did close down their entire store, then the only real utility of a plugin for it for most people would be the social features (i.e., the user's friends list, chat, etc.). Unfortunately, Discord has not exposed this portion of the API to all users as of yet (and they seem to be taking their sweet time to do so, since it has been months since I last checked).
For a reference, you can visit https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#shared-resources-oauth2-scopes and look at the required scopes. Specifically, relationships.read is still set to "whitelist only," and I don't believe that they are taking additional applications for this anytime soon.
I also don't think that these scopes will be made public anytime soon, which is why i chose the "inject js into the client" method since it is working at the moment
Hello, I'm new to gog 2.0 and I was wondering if there is anyway to have your discord friend-list along with their status of what game they're playing to show on the gog 2.0 friend-list? I tried yalls integration but I couldn't get it to work. Is there a cheeky way of doing this?
@triplethreat999 the plugin is more a poc than anything well tested and working. The steps in the readme should get it to work, but even then it's mostly trial and error.
I might put additional work in this, but since discord closed their game store I'm not sure if it's worth the effort
@Ertego yeah I understand you perfectly. It seems like its not an easy thing to pull off. I just hope that gog 2.0 eventually implements a system that will allow us to have all our discord friends as well as their status shown within gog. I personally don't have any games from discord so the integration is not as important to me as for example battle.net or even steam. But regardless thank you for your quick response, Cheers.
