As the title suggests, Lutris is requiring me to sign in to GOG so that it can verify my ownership of the game. If my memory serves me well, I used to be able to simply click on the GOG version and then link it to the installation executable file that I downloaded from gog-games.com.

This was fixed already, but a new release of Lutris has not been published with the fix included. The exact line in your screenshot was specifically removed in this commit:

Good to know. 👍

That sucks! Half the reason I use GOG is to get non-DRM versions of games that I like..

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 9 points 10 months ago

Can't you still run the installers manually?

[-] TheGreatFox@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Is it trying to download the install files? That requiring a login makes sense.

[-] Miyabi@iusearchlinux.fyi -5 points 10 months ago

It never used to do that before it just made you add the install files yourself. But yea that is probably what it is doing now.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Are you downloading the game to install, or is it already downloaded and you are installing the game?

Pretty big difference there.

[-] Miyabi@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 10 months ago

I already have the game installer, I just wanted to use the install script from the app.

My bad, I didn't realize what community we're in.

I tried lutris, heroic, bottles... even steam has issues with dodi's or FG installers. Now I just do wine path/to/file to install and add .exe as a non-steam game to run it through proton and it works every time.

Can confirm. It's what I do.

[-] 30021190@lemmy.cloud.aboutcher.co.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Use the Lutris website to find the game and install script, that should bypass the login check and let you bring your own exe.

[-] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 10 months ago

is it all GoG games or just this game? afaik each game script can be different.

[-] Miyabi@iusearchlinux.fyi -4 points 10 months ago

From what I have seen it is every GOG game. You have to install it manually if you get it from gog-games.com or another piracy site.

Personally I use innoextract on the installer, add the game to bottles or even steam library if I add it to my deck and play. No need to even bother double clicking installers, it's doing the same process of extraction with dumb banners I don't care about.
