Launcher
I have tried everything I can find to get my game to work and i just cant seem to get it working. Every time I try to open my game steam says its running but the game wont actually open. In my task manager it also shows it is running ans I am unable to stop it unless i close it in my task manager or I restart my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is Skyve.exe also in the task manager? I found that it can keep the cs exe alive if it is not closed/terminated.

easiest guide to bypassing the launcher, no batch files needed, no downloading anything, no messing with cmd, just a simply install path pasted into steam launch options for this game.

Thanks once again for this guide. My Dell's SSD failed, once again!

This saved the day, as usual.

no problem, have fun.

edit: i updated the guide and a few others (other games) about that issue.

where a person needs to replace a drive and the drive drive letter changed, or for someone adding more drives and moving games to the second drive, or in general people with more than one drive that have games split among the drives.

in any case, i had added 2 more 1TB m.2 drives on an add-in card and split my steam games between them both and after trying to play one of the games that i use a launcher bypass for, the game wouldnt run saying couldnt find path, then i realized my bypass launch option(s) wouldnt work after the drive letter and folder path changed on some, so i had to go in and edit those to get them working again.
