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.
- 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.”
- 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.”
- 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%
- 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.
