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.
is it all GoG games or just this game? afaik each game script can be different.
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.
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.
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…
Can’t you still run the installers manually?
Yes but it is a hassle.
Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death
Itch.io gives the convenience. although the UI is far from good, you straight-up get the zip folders with the game itself if you download from your browser, and their launcher still adopts no drm.
