Does anyone know how to install Galaxy without installing forced network drivers (the ones that provide so-called "network support" and work just like hamachi, poorly emulating LAN)? I don't like keeping useless junk, especially low-level drivers, in my system, considering the fact that I never going to use it (the network feature).

Anyone?

Considering one of the core functions of Galaxy is supporting multiplayer connectivity, which I beleive the "drivers" you refer to are a component of, I doubt there is a way to install Galaxy without them. Eventually you will be able to disable that functionality from within Galaxy, so while they still may reside on your machine, they won't be doing anything.

I'm not interested in just "disabling" this featutre, regardless if it is a core or not, I just don't want any network drivers to be installed in my system at all. I know what feature I'm loosing (which I NEVER will use), why is it the problem to let advanced users to select what (optional) drivers install through some key for the installer?

Network drivers, be it for physical device or virtual (especially virtual), is the most common source of BSODs and crashes on Windows, in my experience - way higher rate (hello Atheros, hello Realtek, watcha f*cked up in today's update?) than video drivers (unless it is AMD). I simply don't want the junk to clog my system.

I'd love to give Galaxy a try but right now the way it is designed is a big turn off for me.

Just bumpingthis topic hoping someone from the dev team sees this and consider it.
Still haven't even tried Galaxy.

When did they implement this?

That was in the original release since day0.
