Getting Rid Of 1.5 Without Galaxy

[SuperAwesomeThingy]

Hello everyone,

 

is there any way to get rid of the 1.5 update without using the galaxy client? I know there is a rollback feature, but I don't use the client because I want the drm free experience. That's why I've bought the game on gog in the first place. Is it possible to downgrade from 1.5 to an older version via mod?

 

I have a backup of 1.06, but there are no patches anymore to get it up to 1.3. Any ideas?

 

Everything is nerfed in 1.5 and on top of that, the loot which was lying around is now heavily reduced, which makes the city feel much more sterile.

 

I just want my favourite game back. O.o

 

Have a nice day, folks.

Me too. I've got over 1,100 hours into this since day one, I've adjusted to each of the "update" nerf-fests, but 1.5 sucked all the fun out of this game. I have a copy of 1.3 on another computer too. Is there a way to launch it outside Steam like we do with heavily modded Skyrim?

Since you 2 are talking about this problem, i might ask my question here too to not create another thread.

 

Steam updated my game from 1.3 to 1.5 even though i had disabled automatic update. Does someone know if i can downgrade this ? because i have a heavily moddded game

I might be misunderstanding, but anyway...

 

If you installed CP2077 in the path where GoG does it by default, make a shortcut to this location to start the game without GoG:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\Cyberpunk2077.exe

Thank you, this is what I need (I think).

Thanks a lot for the replies. Is there also a way to turn an existing installation into a backup installer again? (after using the rollback feature) Someone on another forum suggested 7zip. Would this be an option?

Well, the game looks worse, and the performance is worse too. You are not wrong in thinking that going back to a previous version of the game would produce a more fun experience. 1.5 is a free update to the next gen version of the game, and as it turns out that version of the game doesn't feel like CP77 anymore, right?

 

 

Change isn't bad or good; it's only different. I mean; technically I don't like CP77 anymore. The game has been gutted from before the game launched. 1.5 essentially killed that version of CP77 that you enjoyed. Without a copy of 1.13 or 1.21 or whatever version you liked the best; cause I'm guessing that ain't 1.31 or 1.51

 

 

Next gen is built for PS5/XBSX. It's a console port. That's why it doesn't feel right anymore. It wasn't built as a PC game; obviously because it doesn't feel right. Most people gloss over that because of what they get in upgrades; doesn't hardly seem worth it right? Kill the game, but get a few upgrades.

 

 

I might consider starting the game over in 1.5 just to upgrade the combat Ai by playing on hard or very hard difficulty. That would make the bots have more armor, more accuracy, and more aggressiveness. 1.5 got some upgrades on that end that might polish that experience. I don't know though; it just doesn't feel right.

 

 

I know that we used to run the game in 1080p just because it made the game look bad; which made the way the game played sort of match the way the game looked. That's basically what it looks like now in 1440p; bad. CP77 feels bad too. Though I guess technically we could fix that with DLSS and Ray Tracing. Base game on standard hardware looks so bad. Maybe it just killed our old save games though.

 

 

The GOG version of the game doesn't have DRM; we get that version on Steam. Galaxy is optional; is just a launcher for the game. It's not a different version of the game; that I know of. GOG or Steam; it's the same game. The Steam just plugs into Steam's API; the game .exe doesn't even require Steam to be running to launch the game; cause it's the GOG version; they just ported it over. But if Galaxy allows a rollback; I'd say try that; cause your only other option is to have a backup of the game before they updated it.

 

 

You should at least try to run 1.5 though; if you can get it to work. It might have killed our old save games though. I guess maybe you could explain how everything is different, and doesn't feel right by going to the ripper doc or starting a new game. I'm disheartened though. You could play 1.5 just to provide valuable feed back to save the game in future updates though. If you do notice anything; you should tell CDPR about that; so they can fix it.
