Adding the Launch Argument

After installing, click "Properties" to open the configuration menu.

Add the following text in the "Launch Options" box;

why would you go through the trouble of downloading addons for that... it's a basic ass command that you put in once and that's it, never touch it again.... dumb ass comment @IL FENOMENO

This should have a massive warning added to it that you cannot buy expansions on steam if you do this, and if you do, your money is lost, no refunds, you just wasted it.

DONT BUY DLCS on STEAM if you use this guide, just buy your dlc INGAME.

Yes you can delete standalone if installed thru steam using this.

If I delete the standalone (internet) version, will I still have access to my DLCs from the standalone?
