Anyone else having this problem?

Earlier today they updated the launcher and ever since there has been various popups from my computer security system (Avast) blocking the game's access to various files that are part of the game. I click allow and it just keeps popping up. Even for files I've already allowed. These popups have been not only happening while the game is starting up, but also after it's done starting up. These nearly constant popups have made the game unplayable. I have even tried labling the game as an exception for Avast (meaning Avast will no longer interact with the labled program or website) and it still happens. Has anyone else experianced this?

Glad to hear it isn't just me. Any ideas as to how to fix it?

Any word from Steam yet? Awfully quiet is just awful...

I've tried contacting 2K in hopes that they will do something since it's their launcher update that caused the problem.

I was having issues with the launcher as well however, i found a solution by looking into this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/289070/discussions/0/3247565033755428699/

The First comment made by MacGavin tells you how to launch the game without the launcher.
here's the gist of it:
1.Find the directory of the game
Ex: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam\\CivilizationVI_DX12.exe (this is for the DX12 version of the game)
2.Right click the game In the Steam Library and click "properties"
3.Under General search for "Launch Options"
4.type "[game directory] %command% (quotes and percentages Included)
Ex: "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam\\CivilizationVI_DX12.exe" %command%
you should be able to launch from there. my testing showed that all Mods & DLCS load in!

I looked where you told me to, but when I was looking around in properties I was unable to find "Launch Options" anywhere.

@twsworld when you right click your CIV game a button for "properties" should show.The first window that opens should be the General tab. It should be there

Forege, thank you for your explanaition, but it doesn't work (al least for me) :(((
I hope that the problem with the launcher will be solved soon by programmers

[Legodudelol9a]

Yes I tried looking in properties and it wasn't there.

[KnottedAnonymous]

Are you looking in the Steam Library or the EXE itself?

[Legodudelol9a]

EXE

[KnottedAnonymous]

right click on the game In your steam library not the EXE

So am I gonna need to start the game from the steam launcher from now on or can I continue using the shortcut I've always used?
