Fixed "Updating Executable"

Copying the executable path to the launch options fixed this game for me.

1. Right click the game in your steam library and click properties
2. Click the Installed Files tab and click browse in the top right
3. Navigate to the .exe, the path should look like \XCom-Enemy-Unknown\Binaries\Win32\XComGame.exe
4. Right click and copy the .exe as a path
5. Navigate back to steam and click the game in your steam library and click properties
6. in the general tab paste the path and then make a space and add %command% at the end
7. Close and test the game!

See the full launch option command I used below:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\Binaries\Win32\XComGame.exe" %command%

I hope this works for you as well!

A recent update broke the game for everyone, it will not launch.

This game no longer starts up for me, which is the minimum requirement for recommending a game.
