smuggly: Wow it's a hit or miss I guess.
DemonKiller49: As the one user says, deleting that DLL reverts the game to base. It's the only way I can get it to boot without using Galaxy. It'll be a cold day in hell before I use that shit. Gog needs to fix this DRM bullshit ASAP.!
I can also confirm all of this. This is unacceptable, so I hope there's a fix on the way. Fill support's inbox.
EDIT: As a test, I fully uninstalled Cyberpunk and GOG Galaxy, and used the offline installers to reinstall Cyberpunk. The exact same behavior persisted, even without Galaxy being installed anymore. As far as I'm concerned, Cyberpunk 2077 is no longer DRM-free.
EDIT 2: Putting the main Cyberpunk .exe into Windows 7 compatibility mode seems to fix it, at least somewhat. I was able to start the game and had full access to the base game and the DLC without Galaxy running, but it was a crapshoot whether or not it would crash at the start like it does without compatibility mode on.
