I am using Version 24839 (from GOG of course).Īlso developers limiting steam workshop downloads while having their game sold on other platforms is terrible for people on other platforms. Running it with the GOG shortcut mods does not work, but running it directly from the exe does work. To solve the mod problem, i just ran Darkest.exe in _windowsnosteam Directly. Now at least the localization.exe is working in the _windowsnosteam with no problem for me. I had that problem owning Party Hard on GOG and not being able to download user created levels for it. IIRC they have the ability to allow that. I would suggest that they allow downloads for people who don't own the game on Steam.

Yes, the fix was that easy.Īlso developers limiting steam workshop downloads while having their game sold on other platforms is terrible for people on other platforms. (Okay, they could remove the steam_api.dll dependency in it which seems to be there for no reason at all). All they had to do was put the steam version in the '_windowsnosteam' directory and call it done, no need to actually change any logic in the executable. So Red Hook have ignored the requests to get localization.exe working on non-steam versions. If you copy the '_windows' directory from the Steam installation into the GOG Darkest Dungeon base directory and then run localization.exe from that, it works perfectly. The version included in Steam was updated on Tuesday 5 September 2017.

It does not work with current versions of Darkest Dungeon whether they are on Steam or not. It is a truly ancient version of that executable and produces significantly different output to the latest version included with Steam. It crashes because the localization.exe included in the '_windowsnosteam' directory was updated on the Monday 23 November 2015. Trying to run Darkest Dungeon after that will make it crash. Copying to colours.darkest makes the included localization.exe work. You can go to the 'colours' directory and copy '' to 'colours.darkest' in the same directory. I have investigated it, here are the findings: People have contacted the devs and received no reply for that problem. 'localization.exe' is needed to compile localization files if people want to make a mod or modify text in game. You can see the posts about localization.exe not working at all with the GOG version. Myozhen: Mods are definitely not well supported in the GOG version of Darkest Dungeon.
