How to Open Gwent & bypass GoG Launcher

[môrgondír]

As of today, clicking 'Play' on the Gwent page from my library opens a launcher requesting I log into the parent (GoG?) service.

If the same thing is happening for you, this launcher can be skipped by going into the game's properties (the 'gear' icon on the game's page), under the 'General' option, and entering the following in the space provided (the text space that appears below the words 'Advanced users may choose to enter modifications to their launch options.'):

{path to Gwent.exe} %command%

Where {path to Gwent.exe} is the location of the executable on your SSD or HDD - it will need to be surrounded by quotes. For example, on my system, it reads as follows:

"D:\Steam\steamapps\common\GWENT The Witcher Card Game\Gwent.exe" %command%

Once you've typed (copy-pasting your path works best) the path correctly, close the Options window, and re-launch Gwent. It will skip the launcher and open Gwent directly. I hope this helps any who've had the same experience.

*make sure to include a single space between the {path} and %command%

This should be pinned with a more meaningful headline - thanks sir, you saved me the launcher desease.
Was there anything installed (GOG Launcher?) which may need to be removed? (i can see nothing on my Applications)

Start with double quote (")
Then copy the Path to Your game directory (if you do not know it go to Properties window -> local files -> hit browse button
->copy the path from the explorer address list
-> paste it to the command line, add "\Gwent.exe" (without the beginning double quote, the last shall stay since it closes the one from the very beginning.
-> add "%command%" (this time without the double quotes)

hope this helps
