Any way to skip Stardock Launcher?

On the Steam forums, Draginol said they would be looking into such an option.  No idea what or when that means.

it would be a nice option, since I only own GCIII.

I don't mind it -- it reminds me that I should pick up Offworld Trading Company at some point, but I understand why it can be annoying. Esp if you're a modder and it's interfering with your work.

I wasn't trying to skip the launcher, though was happy to see that it did, but I have a Logitech G19 keyboard that has macro keys you can setup to start various tasks, programs, macros, etc. and I have GC3 setup on one of my keys and for some reason it negates the launcher. So I'm good.

Strangely, the Stardock Launcher can be skipped using the same method as with Fallout 4's launcher. See: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=567149803

Updated the launch options on Wikia: https://galciv3.gamepedia.com/Launch_options

That is not the correct way to bypass the launcher.

Adding /nolauncher as a command line parameter in Steam will stop the launcher from showing.

Thanks!

Thanks. I've turned off the launcher and the Steam overlay. Need that performance.

Oddly the flag worked great for me yesterday and today the game inconsistently fails to launch with it unless I restart Steam.  That is, sometimes it launches, sometimes it kinda whiffs.  Dunno if it's the flag or something about the tiny patch today.
