[TOOL] GD Switcher v1.2

Nope I’m just a lone coder who made this tool “just because”. I haven’t ever gotten around to learning to use git/github etc yet. Maybe some day.

Indeed - custom command ‘switches’ are exactly how I call GD to launch it via Steam. GOG’s Galaxy presumably does not have the same functionality as Steam but the user BKGaming_ in the reddit post here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/infgc0/is_there_a_way_to_create_desktop_shortcuts_that/

…has detailed a method whereby I might be able to make this work. I will look into this asap.


If you wish to know what custom commands the GD executable accepts (and are the ones that I use):

  • /x64 ; for 64-bit version
  • /d3d9 ; to launch in DX9
  • /nogdx2 ; disables Forgotten Gods
  • /nogdx1 ; disables Ashes of Malmouth AND Forgotten Gods both

To launch a game application in Steam via external methods (for GD in particular), you need this command:

  • -applaunch 219990 ; the 219990 is GD’s SteamID number and you can then follow it with any of the above commands
