Launching the launcher through steam

[Atheu]

The current default for launching KSP through steam is the original 32bit client, my suggestion to this is possibly changing this to launch the launcher instead of the client.

Pros:

You can adjust the settings before launching the game itself

option of turning off the launcher.

being able to select 32 bit or 64 bit.

Steam Tracking for both versions

Less confusing trying to rig up KSP to launch 64bit version (lot of things with launch options through steam, going to adding a non tracking version "non steam game shortcut")

Able to select the AMD compatable mode (depending on if you run AMD graphics or processor - in my case I do)

Cons:

an extra (yet possibly removable) step before launching the game.

may be confusing for some people.

as for now, if anyone wants to use the launcher through steam

1. right click KSP in library

2. properties

3. click "Set Launch Options"

4.Copy and paste this line into the field:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\Launcher.exe" %command%
