You say it like it's some nuclear launch codes. You launching a game the way the president presses a red button. LOL

Hah yeah it's a weird thing to ask.

How would you ask this question?

if the game didnt give you a key then you can only play it via steam.

What? is that to-do with activating the game on steam?


Im talking about when you open a game and it logs into the Steam ID, and i wish to know the Launch Code so that it opens a menu to enter my details to login to my game account.

I wish to manually enter my username and password when i open the game through steam.

whats a launch code?

when you purchase via steam if you are not given a code then you play on steam, another launcher may ask you to login or whatever but thats not a launch code

what game are you trying to play?

Ah ok, you are talking about something else.

I am talking about the games launch code:
Right clicking the game and going to PROPERTIES < GENERAL (its one of the input boxes)

Not the code to activate a game.

oh ok sorry now i understand.

Options to Use

Here are some of the more useful launch options:
-login - Bypass the Steam login window by entering your login information


Example
Log in automatically:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -login username password

I don't think you understand.

Those are window parameters for your Steam shortcut..
Not the LAUNCH CODE properties of a steam game.

ask on the games forum is your best bet. maybe it can be done in some games, maybe not.

Unless the game gives you the option, you don't.

It would help if you named the specific games you are asking about.

Where would i look for those launch codes if the game offered the option?

apart from the steam ones i dont think there are any but with 200k whatever games no one can know what all games can do.

Again, it depends on the game. These options are just command line options, so it's entirely up to the game whether it does anything with them, and up to the publisher or "the community" whether they are listed somewhere.

Traditionally, programs output their options if you start them with something like "-h", "/?", "/h" ,"--help" or something similar. Or just any option they don't understand. However, outputting the options from the program itself instead of requiring the user to find documentation is mostly a convention for programs that are MEANT to be used from the command line, which is not generally the case for games. They might just silently ignore command lines they don't understand.

But if the code existed, it would be the same across all games.. i would just need to know what it is..
Do you know what the launch code would be to allow manual login ?

If developers program their games differently, how would it be the same across all games? You don’t even know what it is but are somehow assuming it’s the same for everything? I don’t understand this logic.
