So you tried to play your Baldurs Gate 3 GOG version and you failed.

If you are stuck in the "You must install .NET Desktop..." window i have the solution for you.

First of all, this guide is for heroic launcher users, but it can be adapted to native wine users easily.

1. First, when the "You must install .NET Desktop..." window appears, click on yes and it sends you to the .NET download page. Just download the exe.
2. Now go back to heroic launcher and go to the Baldurs Gate config, click on WINECFG and, in the window that just opened, in the bottom under Windows Version, select: Windows 10 (THIS IS THE KEY PART). Apply and close the window.
3. Now click on Execute EXE on Prefix (I have it in Spanish so maybe the literal is not the correct but you know). Search for the previously downloaded .NET installer and open it. Go through the .NET setup (you know, next next next).
4. Now in the dropdown Other go to game launch params and type: --skip-launcher
5. Done!

Now you may be able to play the game without problems. Tell me if something didnt works to you so maybe i can help.
