The game once again needs GOG Galaxy to be running after the 2.02 update.
They fixed this issue in 2.01, but its now got the problem again.

In my case the game loads (press space a few times), up until after you click "Continue", then you get a bit of the loading video .. and then the game dies, CTD (although its not quite Crash To Desktop, as you need to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to End task otherwise Windows does not come back and your stuck).

Latest NVidia drivers installed (as of a couple of days ago).
No Mods in use (I never use mods)
Clean install done.
Verify cache/files done.

As mentioned this was not a problem in v2.01.

Anyone else have the same issue report it to the Devs ..

.. Scroll down and click the "Contact us" button, you need to provide a DXDiag report.

The more people report this the quicker we will get a fix.

But do make a point of mentioning that not running GOG Galaxy is causing the issue, we shouldn't have to but it feels like they are making the game dependant upon Galaxy running for some bizarre reason, we should be able to run the game straight from the CP2077.exe after downloading and installing the Offline Manual Installation files, and not have to install GOG Galaxy aswell.

Not getting this in 2.02. Game with their DRM enabled loads as normal, and they've gotten rid of the 12 second wait at the breaching screen.

Still can't access my earned rewards/drops with the DRM enabled however, telling me to load the game through Galaxy to access them. Have to disable the DRM and it connects.
