Hello! Sorry if I missed something. I have a couple of issues. Only Spore is installed, but not the expansion packs. Online play doesn't work. I have the GOG version (Spore Collection). I use Debian-testing Bullseye.

I have no idea about bash script, so I'm not going to try and edit the file, but can please the GOG.com version be added as an installation candidate? https://www.gog.com/game/spore_collection

For information, the default filename is "setup_spore_3.1.0.22_(10834).exe" and there must be the files "setup_spore_3.1.0.22_(10834)-1.bin" and "setup_spore_3.1.0.22_(10834)-2.bin" in the same directory.
