Gwent doesn't run without GOG Galaxy
I managed to run Gwent on MacOS with Heroic, which is a freakin' miracle in itself, however it says upon launch that Galaxy client doesn't run and we need it.
Are there any dependencies I can use? Or is there any other solution?
(BTW Gwent has an iPad client that runs on M chip, but has been buggy for months, and doesn't register any clicks, and CDPR doesn't fix it.)

So I guess I need to know how to install GOG Galaxy dependency in Heroic

online games are yet not supported by Heroic

I see, can GOG Galaxy dependency be installed manually, by winetrick or something?

their game launcher

yeah, I know...

so... it's not a dependency technically
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
it doesn't install in itself, and I don't need it standalone anyway, but inside Gwent wrapper
so it provides a login for Gwent
I mean as if Gwent was launched through Galaxy

you could try installing the Mac version of Galaxy and just have it running in the background
it may be able to authenticate the game

I seriously doubt it, but I can try

it comunicates over TCP on port 9977
nothing is impossible

People said keylogging on Wayland is impossible but me and others have done it before
It's remarkably easy too

cool right?
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
haha:D
only problem with the game is that once I start to play matches it's really slow, animations choppy
but that's a different problem
are there any plans to support GOG online in Heroic?
