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:

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

Can’t you still run the installers manually?

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

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.

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

Pretty big difference there.

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

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.

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