No No No.
That is not the way to launch Steam games. Do this;
- I'm having trouble using C&C:Online with Steam.
- Solution: Open the C&C:Online launcher and use the Hook menu to hook your game.
1. Go into Steam and create a desktop shortcut for your game.
2. Open the C&C:Online launcher and go to the hooking menu. Hook your game. When Hooking, you should receive a prompt asking for your confirmation, this is how you know it worked. If you don't receive anything and the issue still occurs, check your anti-virus (Norton especially) as they are known to delete the hooking file. Add an exception for C&C:Online.
3. Launch the game using the shortcut Steam made for it on your desktop (if you don't have a shortcut, go into Steam and make one). The launcher should pop up, so select your game and off you go
Make sure that you make the shortcut before you hook the game. Don't worry if you don't get a prompt. If that does not work unhook then delete the short cut, then run Steam "as Admin" and make the shortcut again. Then run the launcher "as admin" and hook.
