Since the 1.61 DLSS3 was added to the version list my game won't load.

I have been running 1.61 for months with 100+ mods that run flawless with no issues and have been unchanged, dozens of hours of footage on YouTube of this.

I disable automatic updates so that I remain on 1.61 however since 1.61 DLSS3 was added to the list I get a black screen with my mouse icon showing a loading circle and the game crashes after about a minute.

Log files say Watchdog timeout.

Nothing has changed and whether I use 528.02 (the version of nvidia driver I used previously) or the latest nvidia version the same thing happens.

Running a 13900k - z790 apex - 32gb dominator 6200mhz - TUF 3080 OC V2 12GB

Have no issues in this game prior so I think GOG messed up the addition of the new version??

UPDATE! - Solved (GOG Galaxy is the culprit and needs investigating by GOG)

DO NOT RUN THROUGH GOG GALAXY

GOG has broken their GOG Galaxy recently so run the Cyberpunk 2077.exe as administrator directly and the game loads!

I have noted that the version of DLSS I was running was 2.5.1 not nvngx_dlss.dll version 2.3.4.0 so GOG must have altered my game files in the last week or so without my noticing.
