Is the online stuff disabled or removed or something?

I bought the GOG version a week ago, and there's no online functionality in the GOG version. The WB Play selection from the Main Menu is missing, and so are the news banners on the main menu. There are no inbound or outbound rules in my firewall, which means it doesn't even try to contact any server.

Worst part is they couldn't even be bothered to mention that with a single sentence on the store page. They just gutted the online, threw it up on the GOG store, and went about their day.

Going through the GOG forum yeah it seems to be on purpose and for everyone, or a side effect of removing Denuvo. so no online stuff at this time
Bye Bye Vendetta gear and Might Dagger.

Online Pit Fighting still seems available though? :/
confused...
Did anyone even play that? Like with all the cheated orcs I wouldn't be surprised it died a long time ago.

WB at it's finest, you know they cancelled the Infinite Crisis MOBA within weeks of it's official launch, people had been playing since Beta and had spent hundreds of dollars on it, and the kicker is that they announced a premium Lex Luthor skin the same week they announced they were shutting down the game, and people bought it assuming they'd still be able to play.

Forget my previous post, no online functions at all lol.
But i wonder if you could transfer the online files from the steam version and GOG be able to use it?

imagine if cracking online functions was this simple lol.

That's the whole point of the DRM-free version. It's rid of all that online-server-connecting-stuff and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.

For what reason do you buy games on gog?

Hmm.... Excuse me... Do you know what "DRM-free" means?

It means only "no activation or online connection required to play." It never means it cannot have online/multi-player content.

For example, No Man's Sky is also on the GOG.com, and it has multi-player features.

So all the other gog games... With multiplayer... Don't exist...?

THE POINT is, there isnt a reason for no online functionality simply because Denuvo was removed.
D.e.v.i.OS Oct 12, 2022 @ 12:26pm 
honestly I would be happy for the lack of online features
as people will point out
you no longer have to deal with cheated orcs that run out of the map in the fort rooms and lock you in thus preventing you from playing the game.
