Game wont launch, stuck in loop. (FIXED)

Whenever I start up the game I get a pop up saying " insurgency is attempting to launch with the optional parameters shown below '-console'" I then have an option to cancel the game start up or allow it to launch. If I allow it to launch, then the same thing pops up again except it now says '-console -console' and then '-console -console -console" and so on. Any fixes?

Should this issue happen to you, simply restart your Steam client.

We have also found that this is a glitch within the Steam Client itself so there is nothing we can do past the bypass said earlier.

We have informed Valve about this issue.

Game will not start: -console

It keeps trying to run an optional parameter -console and will not start. Anyone else see this or have a fix?

Also, use the search next time. Or google. Or, do the first thing in Steam troubleshooting and restart Steam!

Can't Launch game because of parameter.

When ever I try to launch the game it says Insurgency is tryint to launch the game with optional parameters "-Console" falloed by if you did not select this or do not know what this is press cancel. When I press cancel the game doesn't launch. But when I press launch the window pops up with -Console again and if I do it again its -Console -Console and againt here will be three -console. I can't fix this. I tried restarting computers. I check launch options. I tried reinstalling. Someone please help! I love this game but I can not fix it!
