how to bypass cyberpunk 2077 redlauncher on lutris
- open lutris
- right click on cyberpunk 2077
- select "Configure"
- go to the "Game options" tab
- edit the value in
Executableaccording to the table below
| os | relative path |
|---|---|
| linux | $GAME_DIR/cyberpunk-2077/drive_c/GOG Games/Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe |
| windows | $GAME_DIR/GOG Games/Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe |
| macos | wat? |
note:
i'm only guessing the game path on windows, please use some common sense and exercise with caution.
optional: delete red launcher
note:
the real reason why red launcher was added to the game was because the launcher can be used as an ad platform to provide links to other products & services, such as different games, game dlc, etc.
since players already own the game, there is no reason to allow red launcher to exist and interrupt the experience between players and the game.
another concern is that allowing the red launcher to intercept the launch sequence every time player tries to play the game, it leaves a backdoor to the company to inject unsafe code or invoke unprovisioned url & links in the launcher. this backdoor launcher will become a lingering high risk item in player computers. hence, removing it entirely is recommended.
after setting the executable path correctly to the game's executable
Cyberpunk2077.exe, it's safe to ignore the red launcher or completely delete
the red launcher.
to delete:
- right click on the file named
REDprelauncher.exe - select the "Delete" or "Move to Trash" option
- go to "Trash"
- permanently delete the
REDprelauncher.exe
