Ever since the game was released, I've played Cyberpunk using the offline downloads from GOG. I manually update the game when necessary, and I launch the game directly via shortcut to the game executable. I don't use GOG Galaxy.
Usually when I launch the game, it just starts up. Immediately goes fullscreen and takes me to a splash screen, then loads the intro and takes me to the main menu. That's it.
Today, I launched the game, and it took me to a launcher. One I've never seen before. A launcher that also has the Witcher III and Gwent in it, as well as a bunch of news that I don't want to see, and the launcher telling me to upgrade to Ultimate. RedLauncher.exe is running instead of the game. The game isn't running at all, whatsoever.
Why is this happening suddenly? I haven't updated the game. I'm still on version 2.01 as a matter of fact, because newer versions break everything.
Everything was running fine, and I kept the game offline and manually updated to prevent something like this from happening. How did this even happen, if the game wasn't updated? How did it update itself to install a new launcher without my approval?
