Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – How to launch without 2k launcher!

Walkthrough

 
Step 1 – Locate where your game application is installed, for me this was under the standard steamapps – common – CIV. 
 
Step 2 – From there go into – Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam. Depending on whether you use DX12 or not make sure you know which one you want to launch with. 
 
Step 3 – Get the file path through to the application and copy it. For me this was as follows – D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam\CivilizationVI_DX12.exe 
 
Step 4 – Go to your steam library and open your launch options for CIV. ( right click – properties on CIV ) 
 
Step 5 – Take your file path and paste here like this “-filepath-” adding %command% on the end. 
 
So it should then look like this – “D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam\CivilizationVI_DX12.exe” %command% 
 
Click Ok and launch the game, it should skip the 2k launcher all together and just go straight into the game fixing any issues i had with the launcher in the process. 
 
I am assuming this is a universal option that should work for everyone, hopefully it gets rid of any issues you’ve had with the new 2k Launcher.
