How to start the game. 2k launcher not working.

[Evil Shinichi ♰]

I have found a way to be able to run the game direc tly.
1. In your Steam library list, right-click on Xcom: chimera squad
2. From the pull down menu, select Properties
3. About the middle of the opened properties window, click on Set Launch Options...
4. Insert the following line as is, with the quotes and the %command%, but using your custom path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM-Chimera-Squad\Binaries\Win64\xcom.exe" %command%
And now you should be able to run the game.

ok thanks,

Thanks! I prefer it this way, launching the game from the library instead from a shortcut and/or at the same time, avoid unnecessary downloads.

Points for you!

This also works with XCOM2?

Sure does! The app you want to point it to is ModLauncherWPF.exe, the following link is the default location for it.

It worked for me, but seem like others are having problems.

Ok, I've noticed that the following path isn't pointing to the original launcher where you can activate/deactivate mods. The correct launch option path should be:

"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\XCOM-Chimera-Squad\Launcher\launcher.exe" %command%

My games are installed in a secondary drive, so you'll have to point it to where you've installed yours.

I didn't notice it earlier since I'm still at the beginning of the game and I don't use mods until I've completed it. Because playing with mods for me is like a 'new game+'

I use XCOM2 AML. I don't think this method above works with mods. could be wrong.

but any game with a modding community has its own launchers which are always more ideal than the company provided launchers.

I've used that path for XCOM 2 and it does launch the game with the original launcher that let's you activate/deactivate mods.
