Thanks u/avonhungenĮDIT 3: I encourage anyone who has been affected by this to report the bugs here, regardless of whether this bypass worked for you. That should allow you to bypass the launcher.

Go there and create a desktop shortcut to that file. Thanks u/rocketer13579ĮDIT 2: If you're a Mac user, the file is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/∬ivilization VI. You'll need to put the appropriate Epic folder in the address instead of the Steam one. Maybe there's a way to do it in Epic too, but I'm not sure how.ĮDIT: For Epic you can change the file path on the desktop shortcut so that it points to the. Unfortunately for Epic users, this only works in Steam. (Optional) For the DX12 version, replace CivilizationVI.exe with CivilizationVI_DX12.exe in part 4. Insert the following line as is, with the quotes and the %command%, but using your custom path: "C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam\CivilizationVI.exe" %command% ( Note: if this path doesn't work, try replacing Games with Program Files (x86). In your Steam library list, right-click on Civilization VIįrom the pull down menu, select PropertiesĪbout the middle of the opened properties window, click on Set Launch Options. So I'm here to tell you that you can play Civ VI without opening the launcher at all. And honestly, having to use the launcher in the first place is kind of annoying, even when it works. I saw that 2K released a new launcher today and there are currently a LOT of game-breaking issues with it.
