Probably everyone here hates this games launcher for one or more reasons. My humble self included. So decided to make my own. Without blackjack and hoo... I mean extra hoops to jump thru before actually launching the game!
2025.03.14 files were updated. Functionally little has changed but now you replace 2 files with 2 files, not with around 20 like before.
2025.05.14 files were updated. Functionally nothing has changed, minor project expansion.

1. Download the archive.
2. Extract it into game folder while replacing existing files.
3. Launch game like usual.
4. (optional) Now you can add console parameters to the game.

Use it however you want. Crediting me is optional.

Suggestions are welcome but no promises that I will actually implement them.

If there are some issues with file download please write comment here, no need to ask for access directly thru Google Drive. I usually check Steam every day so your comment will be noticed.

Not sure if you ever see this but here we go. Maybe next time add widescreen support, or high resolution support, or fix a few bugs? All the things your community fixes with hacks. Instead of adding another thing your community needs to fix with another hack. Please, it would be appreciated.
