Hi,

I've got a gaming machine but for reasns of time and work etc, I am often away from home.

I've set up Sunshine streaming service on my home PC (complete with WOL and networking/vpn etc).
I use Moonlight streaming client on my reasonably decent laptop.

This allows me to stream games from my home pc to my laptop anywhere in the world as long as i've got power to my home pc, power to my laptop and an internet connection either side.

Great...so why are you posting this on GOG Galaxy you ask.

Simple:

In Sunshine you configure apps creating a config for them.

On Epic game store (bleugh...) you can launch "Surving Mars" from a nice gui menu streaming right into your client with the following easy config.

Name: Surviving Mars
Command: com.epicgames.launcher://apps/d759128018124dcabb1fbee9bb28e178%3A20729b9176c241f0b617c5723e70ec2d%3AOvenbird?a ction=launch&silent=true

or in Steam:
Application Name: Surviving Mars
Detached Commands: steam://rungameid/464920

----

Now i can run some games directly by calling the binary:

Application Name : Surviving Mars
Command: MarsSteam.exe
Working Directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Surviving Mars"

my Gog version of NWN:EE works with this:

Application Name: NWN:EE
Command: nwnmain.exe
Working Directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition\bin\win32"

But it doesn't display quite correctly - nor am i certain cloud saves would work as i haven't launched it from Gog Galaxy...

So is there anyway to launch Gog Galaxy from Sunshine itself and then launch a game (such as the steam example above with a URI). This would be idea to get the full features of gog galaxy whilst still running the game.

Thanks for all your time and patience those that have read, this is not a criticism of gog or gog galaxy - i love the platform and have quite a number of gog games, many of which i am more likely to play if i can get this to work - so i simply want to know if this is possible to do and if anyone has done it if they could provide a sample config for a gog game or the gog app.

Thanks. :)

Hello,

It's possible to have a command line that starts GOG Galaxy, then uses it to launch a specific game. Simply open your Start menu, right-click the shortcut for a game installed via GOG Galaxy, then choose Properties. Look at the Shortcut tab for the command line. It looks like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe" /command=runGame /gameId=1599390867 /path="C:\Games from GOG\Banner Saga 3"

If you've misplaced your Start menu shortcuts, replace the paths in the above example with the GOG Galaxy installation folder and game installation folder, respectively. You can find the game's ID by looking it up on gogDB.org.


If that's not what you need, then it would be best to ask the developers of your application for assistance. GOG Galaxy doesn't register any custom protocols (like steam://...).

Thanks for this - exactly what i'm looking for - I will give this a try and post back (genuinely) on if this works or not and how to tweak it. Thank you!
