Game Launcher - iTIMMEH - 09-15-2010
Not sure if this is a technical problem as such but the tech support forum seems most appropriate. Every time I start the game the launcher window appears first. This happens whether using Launcher.exe or Amnesia.exe. I'm not sure whether this is the intended behaviour but it's pretty annoying - especially since I've been tinkering with the mod tools.
Is there a way to just launch straight into the game? I've checked the options and had a quick look in the settings file but couldn't see anything that might disable it.

You are probably launching the Amnesia.exe shortcut? Use the actual Amnesia.exe in the game folder.

That's what I'm doing, I don't know if it helps but I bought the game through Steam. I'm starting the game using Amnesia.exe in
...\steamapps\common\amnesia the dark descent\
and I get the launcher each time I start.

Ah, hmm, have to look into that.

Hopefully someone will post saying "I had this problem and here's what I did..."
I'm on Windows 7 by the way.It's no big deal, I've now realised that if I want to mess around with the level editor, leaving the game running in windowed mode and reloeading the map is probably a good idea anyway hehe.

I don't think that there is a "fix" for this at the moment, this is how it has to work on Steam for it to work on Steam so to speak.
But as you say, you should leave the game running and use the reload or quick reload instead when working on a map
