i made a setup that installs modifiey files to fixx the connection problems with Steam and Ubisoft connect

Primary LanguagePython

GOG-Galaxy

For some time now, the connection to Steam and Ubisoft Connect in GOG Galaxy has not been working.

Two files are responsible for the connection to Steam (backend_steam_network.py) and Ubisoft (consts.py),
unfortunately, these are not up to date, which is why the connection cannot be established.

The necessary customization is not complicated but not easy for many users, so I have prepared a simple bat file to automate it.

Note

To download the Zip file

click on the green "< > Code" button at the top right of this Page,

then click on "Download zip".

The zip package contains:

A .bat file, which, when executed, "double click" or "right-click -> open"
will install a modified backend_steam_network.py (steam) and a consts.py (Ubisoft).
The original files are not overwritten. They are renamed and remain unchanged.

Also included are the customized files

-> the .bat renames the original files in the plugin folder and copies the modified files to the plugin folder

  • Steam - backend_steam_network.py
  • Ubisoft - consts.py

for those of you who do not want to use the .bat file, you can then manually copy or move the files to the appropriate directory as described below.

How to use the .bat file

1 - Close GOG galaxy
2 - download the zip file
3 - extract
4 - execute the bat file (default steam backend_steam_network.py and Ubisoft consts.py will be renamed so you will have them as backup)
5 - start GOG Galaxy and connect to Steam / Ubisoft connect
6 - Done

Caution

If you want to do all of this manually,

or just want to know what exactly the changes are,

This part is for you.

Ubisoft Connect

You have to replace the old not working App-IDs with the new ones in the consts.py file.
After that, there should be no more disconnections (unless the ids get changed again).

to edit the consts.py
press WindowsKey+R and paste this will open the folder that contains the consts.py

   plugins\installed\uplay_afb5a69c-b2ee-4d58-b916-f4cd75d4999a

Note

This only works if you have already installed the Ubisoft plugin in GOG Galaxy, Otherwise the directory does not yet exist. you have to press "WIN+R" and paste this here

%LOCALAPPDATA%\GOG.com\Galaxy\

This will open the folder in which you have to create the necessary sub-folders yourself Create the following folders: \plugins\installed\uplay_afb5a69c-b2ee-4d58-b916-f4cd75d4999a

Replace the old CLUB_APPID and CLUB_GENOME_ID with

    CLUB_APPID = "314d4fef-e568-454a-ae06-43e3bece12a6"
    CLUB_GENOME_ID = "85c31714-0941-4876-a18d-2c7e9dce8d40"

Steam

For Steam you just have to replace some more lines of code in comparison to Ubisoft.

to edit the backend_steam_network.py
press WindowsKey+R and paste this will open the folder that contains the consts.py

  %LOCALAPPDATA%\GOG.com\Galaxyplugins\installed\steam_ca27391f-2675-49b1-92c0-896d43afa4f8

Note

This only works if you have already installed the Ubisoft plugin in GOG Galaxy, Otherwise the directory does not yet exist. you have to press "WIN+R" and paste this:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\GOG.com\Galaxy\

This will open the folder in which you have to create the necessary sub-folders yourself
Create the following folders: \plugins\installed\steam_ca27391f-2675-49b1-92c0-896d43afa4f8

Change Lines 186 - 194 to:

        async def _get_websocket_auth_step(self):
    try:
        result = await asyncio.wait_for(
            self._websocket_client.communication_queues["plugin"].get(), 20
        )
        return result["auth_result"]
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        return UserActionRequired.NoActionRequired
        #raise BackendTimeout()

Change Lines 240 - 246 to :

    if result != UserActionRequired.NoActionRequired:
        return next_step_response(fail, finish)
    else:
        self._auth_data = None
        self._store_credentials(self._user_info_cache.to_dict())
        return Authentication(self._user_info_cache.steam_id, self._user_info_cache.persona_name)
