Cant Change Launch Options When Launching a Game

[Axecept]

So yesterday I noticed something peculiar. So yesterday I wanted to play some steam workshop mods of Halo MCC and usually I have my game launch settings set to "ask before launch" or whatever it's called in the properties tab.

I launch the game, which pops up the menu to choose between launching MCC with Battleeye or without to play with mods. However when ever I click the second option, the little circle with the blue dot doesn't change to the option I'm clicking in vain to set it to launch with that version.

Just to double check I also launched Ready or Not, which also has a similar option, though it just has the option for launch with either Direct X 11 or 12. Same thing happened.

You can still go to the properties tab for those games and set the launch parameters manually and that works fine, but at this moment, setting these during a start up of any game with the window prompt is completely useless.

Yep doesn't let me either. Except I can't right click any games to access the property tab either. And clicking "always choose this option" on this launch option menu freezes that specific menu. Also had an instance where it froze up my entire library.

Have you tried closing Steam and restarting? I experienced that as well, the whole right clicking on games and the window not popping up.

Restarting that worked for me, but the ask before launch window is still bugged, so that is still a problem.

Exactly, and if I launch the game anyway, after I close it my library freezes completely.

does the exact same thing for me for all games, DO NOT check the 'Alway use this option' steam will think its still trying to launch a game and it will act like its frozen but its not, steam will at this point block all user inputs forcing a restart....bug report submitted and it seems steams automated system i completely braindead. thinking vrchat is the issue.
