Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/366

I am using Drop on SteamOS. I installed the Win Version of any GOG Game and installed it (with the gog installer) via Drop with no issues.
After that I can launch the game.
If I close the game and start the game again, Drop wants me to choose the exe every time I open the game.

I tried to install the game in the same folder as where the Setup Executable is located. Didn't change anything.

What do you mean by "Drop wants me to choose the exe every time I open the game."? Does it display all the launch options configured and you have to pick from those?

If not, can you provide a screenshot?

I will try to give as you as much information as I can.

The Setup works as intended

After the setup finishes, the Game starts and works.

Image In this window I can choose the right .exe to startup the game. But it doesn't save it so I have to choose it every time.

Do you have your launch executable set correctly? I believe Proton pops that up if it can't find the referenced exe, it's nothing Drop is doing.

In the Admin Panel? Where can I set it?

Is it wrong that I selected "Setup Mode" for GoG Games?

Looks like a bug, the game shouldn't change to the "Play" button if configured in setup-only mode.

But yeah, if you set the launch command (with setup-mode not set), it'll work

Is there a guide on how to set it up properly with the gog installer? I can't find anything
