As title said, the game require launching by galaxy, if run by clicking executables (SupportTool.exe or EoCApp.exe) it will crash to desktop after like 2 seconds of black screen. Not sure is it intended as a form of DRM or just a bug (it has been around 2.5 years since the latest version 3.6.117.3735ptbr was released back in 2022 September as of time writing this review), but it is a matter of fact that the game would only run if I launch the game through GoG Galaxy, no matter it is installed through Galaxy or offline installer. I have contacted GoG support regarding the issue, but only generic advises were given (make sure that your Windows installation is most up to date, install the June 2010 DirectX runtime package, etc.), none of them resolved the issues. Given the current circumstances, I couldn't recommend the game to anyone who buy the game for the purpose of preservation like I did, as the game would stop running if GoG and its client software cease operation one day, unless something is being done to fix the issue.
