Disable Game Launcher
Everytime I start the game, I have a borderlands 2 DLC game launcher pop up, that requires me to click 'launch game' before I can actually start playing. Is there there a way to disable the game launcher before the game starts??? This really spoils the whole "kick back with a controller" feel to steam's big picture mode... It requires a mouse everytime i want to start the game up. Thanks for the for help.

Cheers,
Fydo

Disabling the launcher
To disable the Borderlands 2 launcher, set the following launch option within Steam:

-NoLauncher

To change launch options with Steam, do the following;

Right-click on 'Borderlands 2' under the game Library in Steam and select Properties
Under the General tab click the 'Set launch options...' button
Enter the launch options as per above and click OK
Close the Borderlands 2's 'Properties' window and launch the game
This will disable the 'Play/Setup' screen upon launching Borderlands 2 from within Steam.

Right-click on BL2 in your Library>Launch Options>Set Launch Options
There, type in "-Nolauncher" (without quotes)

Alternatively, just delete your desktop icon for BL2 (if you have one) and make a new one from the Borderlands2.exe, not the launcher.exe.

That should take care of it.

You can also skip the intro videos as is shown here: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/85323/how-can-i-disable-the-splash-screen-and-intro-videos

Now does anybody know of a way to skip the "press any key" screen?
Scanning for DLC is taking up the most time for me now and I'd like to be able to launch BL2 and fetch a drink or something - returning to find the game ready to play.

Thanks for your reply, but I should've prefaced that i'm using a mac. it's looks like the launch options don't seem to work on OSX. A y other suggestions? (other than using a PC)
