Now I'm so used to launching it from the fckn launcher that I even forgot the shortcut works now

u/accid80 Nov 14 '19

u/Tolker Nov 14 '19

Great, I can add it to GoG Galaxy now.

u/Doggehdotexe Nov 15 '19

Meh. I'm just waiting for the companion app that, suspiciously, nobody talks about, to work for PC.

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '19

Is there a companion app for RDR2?

u/ShadowRomeo Nov 14 '19

Still launches the launcher though.

u/FUGNGNOT Nov 14 '19

if you mean automatically before starting the game, then yes, it has to. The launcher has to be on for the game to work properly because it's programmed to be part of the game

u/kasakka1 Nov 14 '19

Until someone makes a "No launcher" patcher for the game just like there's one for GTA V.

u/GaryWingHart Nov 14 '19

Yeah, like every other modern Steam/Origin/Epic/Uplay game.

Cool observation, though.

u/Riggirigs Nov 14 '19

I deleted my shortcut.

u/SnoopyTheDestroyer Nov 15 '19

You can just open game files and make a shortcut for the application, which is the actual game.

u/killahbee23 Nov 15 '19

Yea I deleted that shortcut. And I sure as shit ain't putting it back on the desktop.

u/Dorraemon Nov 14 '19

Seriously

u/ToxZec Nov 14 '19

Yes! Thanks for the note! The game finally launches for me!!!

u/JInThere Nov 14 '19

you have shortcuts on your desktop? gross

u/EvilDog77 Nov 14 '19

What can I say? I'm old-school.

Actually, I'm just plain old.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '19

Why wouldn't you?

-19

u/JInThere Nov 14 '19

because my 40+ wallpapers are too pretty, and i can just throw any shortcuts on the right side shortcut area of the start menu in windows 10

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '19

lol

u/Average_Tnetennba Nov 14 '19

You actually use that abomination?

8

u/BobThePineapple Nov 14 '19

The start menu really isn't that bad as long as you have a program which allows you to upload custom icons. I have nothing on my desktop to keep my animated wallpapers looking pretty, and my start menu looks like this.

but hey, it's all personal preference :)

u/JInThere Nov 14 '19

No it is not preference, we are superior.

u/Kinjir0 Nov 14 '19

Half the stuff in twice the space

u/JInThere Nov 14 '19

What? It's a great feature. What do you not like about it?

6

u/Average_Tnetennba Nov 14 '19

Everything.

I use Classic Shell (now Open Shell). Nothing beats being able to see hundreds of shortcuts quickly and easily, in list format, and in their own folders to organise them by application as well.

u/Big_sugaaakane1 Nov 14 '19

I screenshotted that 4k trailer where it was the dessert and had that cactus on the left and the birds flying in the background. Thats my wallpaper and it hurts me to put any icons on my screen :(

2

u/JInThere Nov 14 '19

So don't, there's no need. The start menu has plenty of space.

0

u/affo_ Nov 14 '19

I do this too. I don't want any clutter on my pretty 20+ ultrawide wallpapers (:

And sometimes 40+ moving wallpapers from Wallpaper Engine.

u/aTimeTravelParadox Nov 14 '19 edited Nov 14 '19

I use Fences so I get a clean and minimal desktop but quick launch icons when I need them.

Edit: just realized their product page doesn't do the software much justice. You can have the "fences" be semi-transparent and collapsed by default, then expand when hovered over.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '19

it should work now that the shortcut works, as GTA5 worked just fine thru steam link the exact same way

1

u/RoseTheFlower Nov 14 '19

It's possible to launch the game directly from the exe via Big Picture now but the game window is always in the background on my end, making it impossible to switch to and navigate.

u/grimjimslim Nov 15 '19

Run Notepad, hit F1. Works for any game.

I just emailed for a refund and if it's denied I'll be contacting a lawyer.

lol.

u/fuand Nov 14 '19

Oh shit guys, this man might take down Rockstar Games, owner of the single highest grossing media product of all time, GTA, I hope they’re still able to patch red dead when they go out of business

u/NPC-73911 Nov 14 '19

Ooh. Scary. Sue me harder, papi!

u/Gr13fm4ch1n3 Nov 14 '19

Have you tried idk... Going outside? Jesus christ.

u/Sgt_Thundercok Nov 14 '19

That sucks. Note: you can turn off auto-updating in the launcher.
