How to bypass 2K Launcher

Bypassing The Launcher

To bypass the launcher, simply grab the mafiadefinitiveedition.exe file path located in ...\steamapps\common\Mafia Definitive Edition\ (Just right-click then click on copy as path)

then right-click on Mafia DE in your steam library -> Properties -> General -> Launch options.

add the mafiadefinitiveedition.exe path followed by %command%

it should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia Definitive Edition\mafiadefinitiveedition.exe" %command%




That's it.

Works a treat. Thank you.

As an addition, if you can't find "copy to path" when right clicking, click Home at the top of the folder window and under "Cut" is "Copy to Path".

Bump as this is now needed to play on Linux

All of the small children in this thread defending 2k's god awful business practices need to have their commenting rights taken away

I'd like to add that after that, you can delete the folder "T2GP Launcher", based here "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local", to save ~650mb of space disk.
The game will still working 👌

@Cheerios320 It may just be an extra click, but the fact remains, it's a click I shouldn't have to make, as I already hit "Play", which traditionally meant that I wanted to run the game, not a stupid, unnecessary, and money-hungry publisher's launcher.
