On GOG.com's Linux version the start.sh located in the install directory has to be modified to access the launcher. In the script there's an option to edit how the game is launched. Look for <code>default() {</code> and change the lower line <code>run_game</code> to <code>run_settings</code>. After that the game launcher starts as default, but it can be changed back. | On GOG.com's Linux version the start.sh located in the install directory has to be modified to access the launcher.
