Can I avoid Steam with this, once downloaded?

Post by greypanther » Wed, 16. Jun 21, 13:14

Probably a stupid question, but can I download Farnhams Legacy, use it with my Steam free Copy of X3TC, so I can play it remotely?

My apologies if this has already been asked, but I lack the time to search here. :|

Not right now, FL is launched through its own exe which requires Steam. A no Steam version of this exe is apparently planned for the future, though. viewtopic.php?f=199&t=438237

Thanks for the reminder. The NoSteam EXE for X3FL is now available. :)

Maybe this can be linked in the 'Tips, guides and useful links' topic.

FWIW you can have Steam enabled but if it can't connect, you can choose its 'offline mode' which will still enable gameplay but (ofc) reduce (Steam) hours logged & disable Steam achievements (IG achievements will still be accessible)
