Can I launch the game without steam and CDPRlauncher?
i've already purchased cyberpunk, but sometimes I'm not able to play this due to my internet connection, is there any way to launch it offline?

Unless the engine mod makes this possible you can just start the exe. I just tried with steam closed and it worked.

Steam has an offline mode that works with most game anyway but GOG is famous for no DRM on their games, so I doubt it's the mod so NO, I do not think you need the GOG version.

Steam version is DRM free as well.

right click game in library, click manage, browse local files, find the game exe, create a shortcut to games exe on your desktop, job done :)

So many workarounds being offered, when Steam literally has automatic Offline mode when no internet is detected.

Yes - OP. If you for some reason try and boot up Steam and the game without Internet, the game will start up just fine. You -CAN- boot it up outside of Steam as well, but you really don't need to.

Which typically does not work.

No it isn't. You have to reconnect and verify your copies once every 3 months.
But you didn't knew that did you

Now you're just confusing things. The game doesn't rely on Steam running or being logged in. No DRM.

You're thinking of Steam's Offline system, which DOES need to be logged in (for all of five seconds) every so often.

I can run CP2077 without Steam being up and with no internet connection so CDDPR didn't use any Steam DRM, only Steam Api (cloud and achivements).

That's a bit off topic but, i read somewhere that if you link/connect Gog Galaxy with your Steam account, you'll be able to get the gog rewards for Cyberpunk2077 even if you play it on steam.

I can't say for sure because i own the game on Gog.

Yes the game tell you in the menu, I did not do it, I do not know what the reward are, and I did not care to link my GOG account.

I just looked it up, and you get some Witcher themed gear, as I imagine it will be beginner gear or tied to your current level. I found the wolf jacket normally in game, and I was right not to care because you do not see it anyway, and you have better gear already or find better gear 5 minutes later. You can probably upgrade it, but I do not care, they just want to track you and make you interact with gog.com. I disabled their stupid launcher and their "get rewards" message is just on my menu screen for 100h now ...

Why do you care if you have the game on GOG anyway?
