Which game(s) are affected? Are you trying to use Icewind Dale 1 Classic, Icewind Dale 1 Enhanced, or Icewind Dale 2? What does the system log say after the launch fails? What version of the game did you install? Are you trying to run a 32-bit game, which is known not to work on Catalina?

IWD1 Classic and IWD2 are run on macOS by using Wineskin. While the Wineskin launcher is a 64-bit app, the Wine binaries in the Wineskin bundle binaries are not. There have been some 64-bit builds of Wine done, but they run 64-bit Windows apps, not 32-bit Windows apps, and only with limited compatibility (think, "yay Notepad++ runs!").
Codeweavers apparently has a "run 32-bit code in a 64-bit process and call 64-bit libraries" solution, but it is a commercial product. I don't know if GOG would be willing to partner with them to repackage all these games with Catalina-compatible macOS bundles (or if it even works).
Codeweavers does have a free trial if you want to try it out.

Hello everybody,
im having the same problem.
ist there any plan to upgrade the game files?
On the shop page there stating that it works on "Mac OS X (10.7.0+)"
Isnt that wrong if its not working on Catalina?
Greetings

it is actually possible to run applications in a Wineskin Wrapper on MacOS Catalina or newer. I described how it is done in a separate post to help other people as well.
