Paradox launcher? Nah thanks, I will just play the game...

Add this to steam launch options and enjoy. Also you can uninstall the launcher and delete it's install file which steam left in foundry folder.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FOUNDRY\Foundry.exe" %command%

Edit 1: method for Linux Proton figured out by @mo ;4362376160464282956 :

eval $( echo "%command%" | sed s#dowser.exe#Foundry.exe#)

Edit 2: added by @dave ;4361250551849451008 : fyi, if you liked the "Resume" feature of the launcher but want to bypass the launcher, change your launch options as described above and add --continuelastsave between the .exe and %command%. For example:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FOUNDRY\Foundry.exe" --continuelastsave %command%

Thanks. Can't stand parabox. Wish they would of got onboard with Hooded Horse. Those guys know how to publish.

Oddly if I try to run straight from the .exe the game splash screen comes up, it exits and I get the Paradox launcher anyway

[Unknown_Anomaly]

Some people don't know or forgot quotation marks ---> " " <--- are needed. Also check the folder destination if it's not different from yours.

lol, it's nothing but an option to open the game right into your previous save vs loading the game in the main game menu.

It's good there are workarounds, but I think in 2024 and Paradox is forcing Launcher on a platform with a Launcher is just idiotic.

[Mortisthanos]

I can't get the paradox launcher v2 installer for launching.

[Unknown_Anomaly]

This thread is about "If you don't wanna use it, then this might help." No one is forcing nothing to anybody so I don't see reason why people need to get toxic here.

[Mortisthanos]

Not whinning about a launcher, we're whinning about the launcher keeps aborting and the game stops running.

[JayDeerTay]

I hit play on steam and hit play on the launcher. Took like 2 seconds of my time.

What am I missing? The mad feelings never arrived. Am I missing something?

[Unknown_Anomaly]

You are fine with that and we are fine without the launcher. Can't be more fine.

[Aoshi Shinomori]

paradox launcher gives you more fps

[Gnorak]

'hey this looks cool'
oh its paradox

[Marcus]

In some terms Hooded horse are far better, but aren't they woke like Paradox?
