I'm sorry that you all got this for free and it does not work.
The thing that made the game work for me is to place it into the C:/ drive directly, its a old game and it seams to need it.
If that does not solve your issue try looking here: [url=https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Chaos_Gate]https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Chaos_Gate[/url]

Have a good day, and please be kind and love eachother.

You don't need to even do that. It seems like some script or something expects game to be on C: so registery path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RandomGames\WH40K\1.0 was empty (which was mostlikely causing game not start). But there is a workaround:

You just need run "regs_n.cmd" from game folder. That sets game paths etc. correctly under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RandomGames\WH40K\1.0. Now game at least seems to start.

PS. If you are wary of running random scripts on your computer (and you should) you can just check context of regs_n.cmd with any text editor.

EDIT:

I took a slightly longer look into problem and I think that "goggame-1433928487.script", that should be ran during install, has a bug. It does execute "regs_n.cmd" but order seems to be wrong. "regs_n.cmd" should be executed after "setRegistery" actions as they have argument "deleteSubkeys": true.

So, my theory is that during install, "regs_n.cmd" is ran but then "setRegistry" action for "SOFTWARE\\RandomGames\\WH40K" clears this register.. Install should set this register first, and then set values with "regs_n.cmd." Now this is vice-versa.

Of cource, this is all assuming that actions in "goggame-1433928487.script" are executed from up to down...

You should let GOG know via the support contact option.

Maybe they will update the installer with your fix.

I installed to my usb dtive root folder all by itself G\Chaos gate This was the only thing that worked on my Win 10 21H2
If I put it in the gog folder in wouldn't launch.
