For solution #2 to #4, you can just add them at the very end of the command, for example: Other launch options like "-popupwindow" or "-force-d3d11" should still work as usual for any solution on this list. I can't say anything about pros and cons for this solution, not even if it works or details about the execution, sorry. Normally, in the KSP directory, there should be two executables: KSP. I dont use neither of those so I can only refer to the post of : "c:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" %command% /c "start D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\"Kerbal Space Program"\KSP_圆4_shortcut.lnk" In my case, the full command looks like this: The "/c" will pipe everything in quotation marks after it as a command to the CMD, so we are just telling it to launch the game via the shortcut. The "PATH TO CMD" should always be the same in windows: The quotation marks are important, as well as using the ".lnk" extension at the end of the shortcuts name, even if it is not visible in your explorer window or part of the name you gave the shortcut. "PATH TO CMD" %command% /c "start PATH TO SHORTCUT.lnk" So, in order to achieve this, you need to follow the instructions from solution #2 but the command in the games launch options needs to be: Choosing this solutions allows you to eliminate the drawback of missing steam features from solution #2. This is basically a combination of solution #2 and #3 but instead of redirecting the "Play" button to the game executable or a shortcut of it, it gets redirected to the windows command line (CMD) which then is used to launch the game. "something")Ī CMD window will be open as long as the game is running The Kerbal Way (aka jump through three loops to accomplish. This will open up a window with your game files, showing the path at the top navigation bar.Ĥ. The window is not resizable to show the full command but I guess you get it If you are having trouble to find the path to your game executable, you can right click the game in your library -> "Manage" -> "Browse local files". Write in this text field "FULL GAME PATH TO. Works in the same way as the previous solution but instead of redirecting the "Play" button to a shortcut, it gets redirected to the games executable:Īt the bottom of the "General" tab, you will find "Launch Options" and a text field. So, this was the solution I came up with like an hour after the update but which turned out to be problematic later on. "Purist" solution to keep the game 100% stock Change the game launch options (executable version) This will launch the shortcut instead, with the correct working directory.ģ. In Steam, open the game properties, and in the "Launch Options" field, put the path to the shortcut between quote, with : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\KSP_圆4_Steam" %command% Right-click on KSP_圆4.exe > Create shortcut Usually this will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program". Open your KSP root folder (In Steam, right click on the game > Browse local files). This being said, the proper workaround is to have Steam pointing at a shortcut instead of KSP_圆4.exe : While you can specify a different executable in the Steam command line, you can't set the working directory, which is hardcoded to the "PDLauncher" directory. In stock KSP, the only likely side effect will be that the KSP.log file will be generated in the "PDLauncher" directory, but this will definitely cause cascading side effects on various mods. This particular solution by redirects the button to point to a shortcut, which then again points to the game executable:ĭoing that will have the side effect of having KSP running from the wrong working directory. Steam allows to setup individual launch options for each game, which can be used to redirect the target for the "Play" button in your Steam library. Steam features like the overlay and game time tracking don't work anymore Change the game launch options (shortcut version) Simply replace the "LauncherPatcher.exe" provided by them with the one from the stock game and you're already done and ready to go.Ģ. Need to be reinstalled if the game ever gets another update or you verify the games file wrote this wrapper which replaces the original executable of the launcher. You keep all the Steam features like the overlay, game time tracking, etc. Since the update, me and others figured out multiple ways to circumvent the launcher which come with their own benefits and drawbacks, so here are a few for you guys to choose from, depending on which solution fits the best for you IMO this is rather annoying and doesn't provide any actual benefits, in fact, it actually causes some trouble especially for mods. With the latest 1.12.4 update, SQUAD / Private Division decided to introduce an additional launcher to the game which will start up after hitting the "Play" button in Steam instead of launching the game directly.
