by

Are you tired of encountering Funcom launcher issues when trying to start Dune: Awakening? This guide will help you bypass the launcher and directly launch the game from Steam.

 

How to Bypass the Funcom Launcher

Follow these simple steps to get started.

  1. Locate the Game Files
    • Open Steam and navigate to the game’s page.
    • Click the gear icon next to the game, select “Manage,” and then click “Browse Local Files.”
  2. Find the Executable File
    • In the file explorer, go to the folder “DuneSandbox\Binaries\Win64.”
    • Right-click on “DuneSandbox_BE.exe” and select “Copy as path.”
  3. Edit Steam Launch Options
    • Return to Steam and click the gear icon again, but this time select “Properties.”
    • In the “Launch Options” field, paste the copied path.
    • Add the following parameters to the end of the path: ” -nosplash -BattlEye -continuesession %command%.”
    • Ensure that the final input looks like this (quotes are only necessary if there are spaces in the path): 
      "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DuneAwakening\DuneSandbox\Binaries\Win64\DuneSandbox_BE.exe" -nosplash -BattlEye -continuesession %command%
  4. Launch the Game
    • Close the properties window and start the game from Steam. The Funcom launcher should now be bypassed, allowing you to play Dune: Awakening without any login issues.
