This will allow Steam CC owners of those games to enjoy the mods available and play non Steam CC mod players.

Hopefully the other Steam CC versions will get an updated launcher soon too.

Be nice to get this for LSA along with the H2H client air strike issue (you found in TLD, I assume LSA is the same?) before the LSA Meuse release....

Tried tonight and mods are working fine for TLD.

You have to click OK through the /D warning, which then gets you to the launcher application.

4 clicks total.

Seeing comments on Steam that since the last patch mods are no longer working again???

I have no issue with the Matrix TLD version patched to the latest version and starting mods.

I can't see any new posts about this when I go to the Steam forums for TLD (or any of the other CC games.) Can you send me a URL to the thread? Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.

@Tejszd

I am now playing the Stalingrad mod FOR CC:TLD, but since the latest patch this week I can not launch it anymore. Is there any way to help me fix this?

"Failed to initialize Steam" means they're running the game without the Steam client running, or if they do have the Steam client running, Steam itself is preventing the external launch.

Make sure Steam is running. If it is and you're still getting the error, try re-creating the desktop short-cut and see if that works.

The recommended approach is to use the Steam 'Launch option' to add the /D switch to Steam:
- Right click The Longest Day in your Steam Library
- Click "Properties..."
- Select "General"
- Under "Launch Options" enter "/D <path to your mod>"

I will post on the Steam thread to clarify.
