Yes it is possible (given that you are satisfied with many missing descriptions due to the patch not being up-to-date).
Get the patch, for instance, from
.
How to install:
1. Install and run the game and let it update.
2. In the game folder copy the two files with the specific file ending being .00A and .00B into any other folder on your computer.
3. Put the patch into the game folder and run it.
4. Start the game and let it update again.
5. After updating put the two files you copied into another folder back into the game folder.
6. Start the game.
That's how it did for me.
No need to patch while it's updating.
