It's not Steam. You can close the Steam program out once it launches the game.

That's not true... if you close Steam it will close any game currently launched from Steam. At least this is how it works with A19.
The game has cheat mode, why would I try to do anything else when there's mods and cheat mode? Weirdo.
And it's not that I can't run the game, it just lags, and I'd like to reduce that. I didn't realize it was steam only.

You're asking how to run the game without Steam, as in, without Steam account authentication.. that would be handy for a software pirate. Discussing that on a game's forum is generally poor form, sometimes even bannable...

Steam takes between 0.0% to 0.1% of my cpu and less then or right at 100mb of ram, it's not steam; you should look at other processes and reducing graphics options/resolution if you really have an issue. The only reason someone would want to bypass Steam is to bypass the authentication for thing such as piracy, so it would be against the rules here for anyone to help you with that.

Came here to say essentially the above. Steam is a digital rights management (DRM) tool but it has a very small footprint and barely takes any resources it also is very forgiving of internet connection as in there is an offline mode and even when online it doesn’t dial home all that frequently.
If the game is running slow the problem is not steam the problem is something else.
Check what is running on you PC when it slows do control-alt-delete, look for something using a huge amount of ram or cpu
add more memory
build/buy newer machine and retire your favorite to running a 7D2D server or other duties.
Yes, I want to pirate a 20 dollar game I've owned for over a year. Oof.
Anyways, I figured out how to adjust the settings so everything's running a lot better, and I'm also armed with the knowledge that this is a steam only type game. My experiences with Path of Exile have left me down a dark and harrowing mentality of assuming that most games on Steam are also available on another platform as well, thereby deeply offending randos on the internet. I'll be mindful of my behavior in the future.
I wasn't aware that would be a thing. I've played Path of Exile for years and they had a separate platform from Steam, I just assumed it would be like that for most Steam games, especially from independent developers.
And for some damn reason, Steam runs like, 200k+ ram and is usually the second highest eater of ram next to the game itself.
Buuuuuut I did figure out a workaround with setting and all that, and it's running much smoother now. I also close the steam window and run through a mod launcher, now it's working better. Really, I just need to upgrade my damn computer

There are a lot of settings that reduce things like animations and auto play stuff. You can also disable the store and such, turning on family mode will auto do that, hardware acceleration and such too.

Steam was hogging a ridiculous amount of CPU on my Mac, until I went to the friends list settings and turned on "Don't embed images and other media in-line" and "Disable animated room effects". For some reason Steam does a poor job of handling chat windows with animated GIFs, videos, and similar doodads that've become commonplace, even if the chat window isn't active.

That's just what a dirty pirate would say, now isn't it
But I guess we should just give you answers that would get Us banned, instead of warning you about not getting banned by your first post here? Oof indeed.
Lets add some common sense here: Khamedus asked to TRANSFER his steam version to a non-steam version and he gave a reason for it. Assuming this has anything to do with people with parrots on their shoulder is as farfetched as me associating piracy with people with parrots on their shoulder
My conclusion: Too many paranoid people in this thread. And that is coming from someone who actually IS paranoid

So, since you got that green rank there, can I take that as a permission to post any and all ways to run the game without steam authentication?

200 (plus)K of ram out of an 8GB pool is insignificant. Someone check my math but sounds like 0.002% of total memory.Yes, I want to pirate a 20 dollar game I've owned for over a year. Oof.

You got my permission to ask the same question as Khamedus as long as you have not yet read this thread. I think that is a fair deal, right?
