HowTo / Notes

Installation

As of May 2018

Gwent 0.9.23.5.430.3 Public Beta

Confirmed working on Wine 3.8

  • Open Wine configuration (winecfg)

              Change Windows version for windows 10


Currently broken:

  • Friend Match (GOG Galaxy Overlay)

  • Gamepad (XInputDotNet)


Installation

          at their website: https://www.gog.com/galaxy

  • WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog winecfg (change windows version, choose windows 10)
  • env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog wine ~/Downloads/setup_galaxy_1.2.41.110.exe
  • env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog wine ~/Downloads/GalaxyRedist.exe
  • env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog winetricks (choose Select the default wineprefix then press ok, choose Install a Windows DLL or component then press ok then choose vcrun2017.


make a small script to run the program:

nano /usr/local/bin/gwent

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/user/Games/gog/drive_c/users/Public/GOG.com/Galaxy/redists
env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog wine GalaxyCommunication.exe &
cd /home/user/Games/gog/drive_c/Program*Files*x86*/GOG*Galaxy
env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog wine GalaxyClient.exe &


Then use this script to get connected to Gog, download Gwent and click play to Play it.


That All, enjoy!


(in case you don't want to use the script)

To fix the timeout issue with gog, you must be sure that GalaxyCommunication is run before GalaxyClient.

cd /home/j2lapoin/Games/gog/drive_c/users/Public/GOG.com/Galaxy/redists
env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog wine GalaxyCommunication.exe

cd /home/j2lapoin/Games/gog/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GOG Galaxy
env WINEPREFIX=~/Games/gog wine GalaxyClient.exe

Use www.hardwareoverclock.com/download/GalaxyRedist.exe to get GalaxyRedist.exe.

Also, one of the workaround for rendering issue in special cards is to disable card animations via settings -> graphics -> premium cards.

Thanks, although I found good link for me NP. Just wanted to point out outdated tip. :)
After last changes GOG should install redist automaticly, but can't confirm it now.

Unity Engine dropped D3D9 support
by Sergei on Thursday April 19th 2018, 7:40
Unfortunately Unity 3D dropped DirectX 9 support (blogs.unity3d.com/ru/2017/07/10/deprecating-directx-9/). So in last update of Gwent (0.9.23.5.430.2) the game won't start with d3d11 disabled.
As for now there is no workaround for rendering issues of premium cards =(

Disabling d3d11
by Sergey on Monday October 16th 2017, 2:45
Despite being a solution to showing model of Shoop (that creature, yes) in the shop, and fixing animation of opening barrels, it's also causes half of the screen to be pink while animation with showing you vs. your opponents leader. For me, it's better without creature. I tried changing GLSL setting (it helps with Battlerite pink textures), but no success.

Just set d3d11 library to native in winecfg. It forces Gwent to use d3dx9 and fixes all rendering issues for me.

Overlay working
by chris on Wednesday August 2nd 2017, 4:44
Does the overlay work for anyone? The game itself works fine, but for me it's not possible to use the features that require gog galaxy to be run in the background, e.g. friend match. I started the game through the galaxy client though.

At the time of the test, the overlay didn't work for me. The game seems to not recognize the running instance of GOG launcher.

You can actually play with your friends via Gwent's friend menu, it's in the lower left corner - all of your GOG-Gwent friends are here, and you can challenge them from there.
