I move my PC to play on the living room TV, but the problem is I don't have Wi-Fi there, and the DSX verification with Steam never happens and gives an error. What solution do you suggest for using DSX without Wi-Fi? Or should I get a refund and play with the free DSX version?

As things are for now, you could launch it in Steam's offline mode within a 28 days period after the last online Ownership verification check it did
Unfortunately, it won't be until the next update that you will be able to launch it without Steam but during that same 28 days period until it needs another online ownership check (that will be for DSX+ owners)
So my advice would be to try doing a phone connection sharing for that DSX launch if you want a quick & easy way until that update

So I'll have to wait for the update, since my PC only supports Wi-Fi through an Ethernet cable. Thanks anyway. I'll just keep using the free version.

You could just share your phone connection over USB but it's up to you 🙂 Sorry this update isn't out yet, needs some more testing before releasing it

If you had launched dsx once before the move it should work perfectly fine offline, assuming you're still within the time window of a month so I don't quite get the issue here, what you're after is already possible. If not, might need to share more details of your setup since something is clearly wrong then

I opened it with Wi-Fi to test it and then moved it. I just took it back, connected it to Wi-Fi, and brought it back, and it's still showing the same thing.

You need to use Steam in offline mode

What exactly did you do, while having Internet (don't care if wireless or not) you successfully launched the app. Then shut it down. Then went offline. Then launched it again?

I opened it and tested it with a DualSense controller in Forza. Then I closed everything, turned off the PC, and when I set up the PC in the living room without Wi-Fi, I opened Steam (it opens and shows as offline) and it never loaded and then closed.
(It says "offline" in Spanish below, just in case)
but I also did it in "Offline Mode"
It gets stuck on "Verifying DSX ownership with Steam servers..."

Actually it says No Connection which is different from the actual Offline Mode, which should work if done after last successful launch online

I've set Steam to English to show you exactly how it appears to me.
As you'll see, there are two "versions": the first is when you first enter Steam without Wi-Fi, the second is "offline mode".

Of course, that's the distinction we just mentioned

Sure, and it doesn't work for me with any of the versions.
honest fox
So normally, if you do a successful DSX launch online then do another attempt in actual Offline Mode (not No Connection), it should work
In between those two scenarios, you tried a No Connection DSX launch
Anyways, just try an online DSX launch using your phone to share its connection over USB
Then "close DSX" from Steam (this will only close the DSX launcher, main app will keep running)

Share the app logs as well.
