I installed the game this morning and for some reason it is displaying my user name (gog) in the lower right corner. I don't want the game tracking me or sending information to cdprojek. I just want to play a single player game without the game telling others how i play. I do i have it remove my user name from the screen and why is it doing this crap ?

Are you using Galaxy client or did you install the game manually?

I installed it with galaxy but then made a short cut and run it without galaxy. I sort of thought that perhaps the work around might be to delete ti and reinstall without galaxy ? Kind of hate to download it again but if that is the fix then I guess I will go that route.

I just don't want the game to 'track' me. I don't mind downloading a custom key or something that is tied to my computer hardware if need be.

You can try to simply uninstall the Client, the game should run fine without it.

Game tracking will be optional but it looks like the switch is not yet implemented (the checkbox is grayed out in client options). Please remember that the Galaxy is still in its beta stage ;)

Okay, so a year and change later, but it was bugging me too.

You can remove the name from the menu (and presumably other Galaxy stuff) by removing Galaxy.dll from the game's \bin\x64 folder.
